IAVOM – Tea Time

Susie’s arrangement last week reminded me that I haven’t used my floral teapot for an arrangement in a while, so thanks for the inspiration, Susie!

Using a floral glass frog and ‘Annebelle’ Hydrangea for support, I’ve created a mixture of pink, white and green with a touch of purple. Dahlia ‘Pinelands Princess’ and ‘Outta da Blue’, Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum), Astilbe tacquettii, Verbena bonariensis, Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides), Hosta flower, Sweet pea (Lathyrus odorata), Love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena), Flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata) and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides).

Thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for hosting the weekly meme In A Vase on Monday. Check her site to see what other gardeners have created from their gardens this week.

    The teapot alone wouldn’t necessarily appeal to me, but with your arranged flowers, it suddenly came alive. It’s a perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

    You couldn’t have put together a more perfectly matched arrangement for your teapot. Magnificent. Dahlia ‘Pinelands Princess’ is gorgeous and the other materials all work so well to echo the teapot’s charm.

    Oh my goodness, this is delightful! Absolutely gorgeous Eliza! Your teapot is perfect for this beautiful arrangement. I am now inspired to get a teapot out for next week. Amelia has used one this week too. We should perhaps coordinate it one week and have a real tea party! LOL!
