Having gleaned my garden of all viable blooms two weeks ago ahead of expected frosts, today I share my last arrangements I made at that time. The last of all those flowers I picked went to the compost pile today and I am glad that I get to revisit their fresh beauty once again.

A mix of pink, yellow and orange Zinnia elegans, Dahlias ‘Chilson’s Pride’ & ‘Pinelands Princess,’ dark and light pink cosmos (C. bipinnatus), with a sprig of dill blossom as well. Wren, our dog, photobombs in the background. 😁

A ceramic vase fashioned to look like a milk can holds an assortment of beach sunflower (Helianthus debilis), calendula (C. officinalis) and Zinnia elegans and Z. angustifolia.
