Very lush and beautiful. Zinnias, snapdragons, it even looks like maybe some purple basil. You've inspired me, Nan. While I don't have a floral CSA here, a local produce stand is growing flowers in one of their fields. My first bouquet is just about done, so, I'll be heading over for some more along with some fresh picked sweet corn.
They're beautiful Nan. Out walking today, I happened across some people picking up their CSA boxes (produce) and thought of you. (The pickup place was at a natural foods cafe where I stopped.)
Such a beautiful description! The basil gets removed first, and used! And then as the week goes on I'll pull a flower as it goes by. Sometimes the bouquet makes it all the way till the next Wednesday, sometimes only a few fade and I move the bouquet to a smaller vase, and sometimes I do make a couple smaller arrangements. I change the water each morning and spend time just looking at each individual flower.
such beauty and makes me want to take a trip to the garden center to see what is on sale. but then making garden so much smaller but I have to have flowers....
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
Gorgeous!

Yes, there is more basil. It seems to be there every week. Lucky you for corn!

ReplyDeleteI wish I lived near a natural foods cafe!
DeleteAn explosion of colours - all that this time of year has to offer, it seems. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers make me smile, that's for sure!
DeleteGlorious! This was so worth doing! It just takes my breath away.
ReplyDeleteIsn't 'glorious' just the perfect word!
DeleteNorthern summer in a bouquet! I'm sure you enjoy them thoroughly. Do they fade at different rates and turn into smaller bouquets as the week goes by?
