I really like to go out into the garden with some clippers, choose certain flowers that I love, and make an arrangement in my hand. A posy, of sorts. Nothing fancy, nothing terribly creative, just wading through the blooms and picking what catches my eye, and then plunking them in whatever vase is handy at the moment. This is my favorite kind of arrangement.

Today, the Monarda citriodora (bee balm or wild bergamot), Scabiosa atropurpurea (pincushion flower), Agastache (sorry, can’t remember which kind), and Clarkia ‘Farewell to Spring’ were calling me, so that’s what I chose.

I’d love to know what’s growing in your garden!
