Flowers in the home
I love flowers in the home. Nothing fancy, no big fuss. They add warmth, color and life to any room. And besides, I just like them and they make me happy.
A good neighbor had an excess of Sedum Autum Joy that she kindly shared with me. I took my Felco pruners to my magnolia and Limelight hydrangea. Added in the seed pod from the crape myrle, a few hosta leaves, a slip or two from the coleus in my planters and was ready to create.
Don't overlook seed pods when your turning to your garden for material. Sometimes the second act is more interesting the the first.
Selecting a container is always fun and the pair on the right won.
The final product, quick, easy and free! And as an added bonus, both the sedum and hydrangea will dry very nicely in place. Just be lazy and don't change or replenish the water. Another plus, the coleus will root and you can remove it and plant it in containers for some much needed winter color.
