I thought I’d change things up this week and share a vase that isn’t pink. 🙃 Primary-colored florals of summer are boldly on display today!


Blue globe thistle (Echinops ritro), red montbretia (Crocosmia aurea ‘Lucifer’), yellow black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) and goldenrod (Solidago sp.) offer the main part of the color scheme. Wild fillers are fleabane (Erigeron annuus), fringed yellow loosestrife (Lysimachia ciliata) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium). My prop is a summery note card with sunflower art on the front.

Don’t the ‘reds’ catch you. A beautiful vase full Eliza, thank you 🤗❤️🙏
Ah, goldenrod, and globe thistle too. These two are new to me (although I grew globe thistle as a cut flower crop in 1986).
