Winter Camellias

Even though we don't get much of a winter here on the central coast, it is still amazing to watch these winter bloomers take over the garden. The camellia bushes/trees are dripping with heavy camellias and buds that are reminiscent of peonies!

In Love with Hellebore

Hellebore arrangment

Hellebores are blooming in winter right now along the central and northern California coasts! These came from an estate woodland garden in Atherton, CA

Hellebore and Chinese Fringe Flower foliage

To a Happy New Year!

Dramatic arrangement for the new 2013 year. A great glass mosaic vase allowed me to keep it contemporary and in balance. I repeated clusters of twos to keep the arrangement simple and clean.

Cymbidium orchid, ginger, and coleus

Keep the tropical/contemporary theme with umbrella plant, green callas, coleus, ginger, and cymbidium
