I’m joining Cathy at Words and Herbs blog for her second annual Week of Flowers, where we share daily posts of flowers and gardens to give a dose of cheer to those in northern climes, where the short days this time of year are often dark and dreary. It does my heart good to look back to the green and flowery profusion of the summer months. Open to all, feel free to join in by clicking the link above, or simply to see links to what others are sharing.

Eliza Waters 
Eliza, thanks for sharing this gorgeous photo. Isn’t this fun?
My pleasure, Alys! It is a fun thing to do the first week of December. A welcome distraction. 🙂
Yes!
What a gorgeous bouquet Eliza. It does my heart good to see this too. 😃 I will send this link to my Mum today! 🤗
Thank you, Cathy! ❤
This is a beautiful combination of textures, shapes and colours.
Thank you, Anne!
Happiness and colorful.
Thank you, Alice!
So beautiful, Eliza. I have enjoyed all of your pictures! I appreciate a moment of reflection on the newness of Spring, as we move into the Winter.
Thank you, Carrie. Appreciating past and future blessings in the present moment! 🙂
Perfect antidote to dark and dreary. This is so beautiful.
Thank you very much, Susie. ❤
What a bright and beautiful bouquet!
Thank you, Dale! 🙂
🙂
Thank YOU for sharing this beauty!
Most welcome! x
xo
Thank you for a little bit of summer!
My pleasure! 🙂
the quest for cranberry sprite and blue poinsettas
What a knockout combo! Thanks.
Thank you, Ellen! x
Gorgeous, Eliza…..and what wonderful light across the flowers too. 🙂
Thank you, Vicki!
I loved this profusion of bright color, fresh flowers and the glory of summer, Eliza.
Thank you, Jet. Definitely my happy-time of year.
Makes me long for summer again!
Warm sunny days and lots of flowers – the stuff of dreams! 🙂
On this very dreary day, your bouquet made me smile. Once again, I’m especially drawn to the yellow. Sunshine in a flower!
Same here, yellow with blue and white accents are my favorite color combination. Glad it brought some sunshine to your day!
What a happy, summery vase full of delight! Was it an IAVOM contribution?
Thank you, Cathy! I think it probably was.
That’s a beautiful combination, Eliza. The yellow flowers are Baptisia? I’ve tried growing Baptisia australis a few times with no success, despite my Sunset Garden Book’s assurance that it will grow in my zone.
Thank you, Kris. The yellow are Carolina lupine (Thermopsis carolinea), an underutilized perennial, IMO. Perhaps because they are tall and have weak root structure, nurseries opt not to grow and sell them. I got mine as a passalong.
Oh summer in a photo. Thank you, it warms my heart ❤️
Happy to know it did, thanks, Karina!
Such a beautiful yet delicate combination of colors.
Thank you, Laurie. 🙂
Such an uplifting and beautiful combination Eliza! 💛
Thank you, Xenia! x
Hi Eliza. Now this one has really got me longing for spring!
MJ
Thank you, MJ. Those first bouquets of spring make my heart sing!
Oh, those peonies certainly make me smile. Thank you!
Thank you, Judy. I adore peonies and look forward to their blooming all year. And it always seems for ‘too short’ a time!
A bit of summer, beautiful!
Thanks much, Belinda!
Gorgeous arrangement and photo!🙂
Thank you, S!
Your Thermopsis caroliniana looked so familiar, I wondered if it was our Baptisia sphaerocarpa. Then, I saw the name in your tags, and figured it out. Interesting that the two species are separated by some distance: several states, in fact. We have B. sphaerocarpa but not T. caroliniana, while that Baptisia isn’t native in your area. Interesting!
I get asked if that is Lupine often. It is a great perennial and can grow quite large, so not good in tight spaces. 🙂
What a beautiful bouquet! ❤
Thank you kindly, Carol!
Love the purple accents! 💜
Thank you, Barbara… that is Catmint…I love how it blooms so abundantly. 🙂
That colour combination hits the spot every time!
Thank you, Carol. It is a favorite with me as well.
