Tell me again what that big, fluffy flower in the center is. (I’m still learning garden flowers.) It’s so appealing!
Is it a Dahlia?
I’ll bet it is. All I could think was chrysanthemum, but I didn’t think that was right.
Yes, that one is D. ‘Chilson’s Pride’
Dahlia ‘Chilson’s Pride’
Those two (Chrysanthemum and Dahlia) are often mistaken for each other; but is that an anemone to the right? I only recently got acquainted with them.
Yes, a Japanese anemone on the right, cleome on the lower left.
An abundance of joy (and with cleome!).
Another beautiful bouquet! Thank you for the cheer me up 🙂
My pleasure, Maria!
Happy memories 🥰
Oh, yes, indeed. Balm for my soul. 🙂 Thanks, Val.
Pretty in variations of pink!
Thank you, Dale. This one was a fun combo. 🙂
Bouquet of happiness! 😊
Ah, yes, and sweet to revisit it again. Thanks, Isha!
That is such an uplifting bouquet Eliza! ❣️ I will definitely grow Cleome again next year – Susie shared some too. 😃
Thank you, Cathy. Cleome self sow for me, so I always have a few seedlings I leave around the garden. The colours and crosses are always a bee-given surprise though!
Partial to pink and pretty edged petals.
Thank you, Alice. It’s nice to remember those lovely blooms!
What a gorgeous pink bouquet Eliza! 💗 xxx
Thank you very much, Xenia! 💕
So pretty in pink 😊.
Thank you, Belinda! 🙂
Gosh, that’s beautiful: the colors, the arrangement, and the diversity of plants and forms. Thanks for brightening my day!
Beth @ PlantPostings
Thank you, Beth, glad to oblige! 🙂
A perfect panoply of pink!

Great word! Thanks, Kris. 🙂
That Dahlia just grabs your attention and hangs on, doesn’t it? I love the color combination here. It’s very pretty and feminine, I think. And how nice it is to see such beautiful flowers again — keep ’em coming!
🙂 Thank you, Debbie!
Aww…pretties to look forward to in a few months. Color me happy as a clam at high tide to see such beauty.
🙂 Great expression! Thanks, Monika.
Very pretty pinks!
Thank you, Sandy. Seems I had a lot of pink flowers this year!
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you, Karen! 🙂
I love the image. I am certain the vase was beautiful and enjoyed, pretty in pink! Is that an Anemone?
Thanks, Amy. Yes, a Japanese anemone. It is spreading quickly… I hope it doesn’t take over!
A good gardening problem..
🙂
A beautiful selection.
Thank you, Vicki!
The japanese anemone reminds of my yard – aand that I’ll need to thin it out again in the spring. Beautiful flowers and arrangement.
Thank you, Tom. I think my third season with the anemone will prove the warnings about this one!
Oh how I enjoyed this summery arrangement, Eliza, with a myriad of colors, shapes and textures.
Thank you, Jet, so glad you did! 💜
I think this is my favorite for the week. So joyful and summery and I guess that’s what I need during these chilly nights!
Thanks, Frank. This is a great way to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Stay warm… you going to Longwood this year?
We braved the cold and headed down last Monday. The new conservatory was open and the lights were as wonderful as ever! A nice trip, but like everything the prices have taken a jump.
Those are so pretty !!
Thank you!
