backyard bouquet // a mix of spring and summer

i had the pleasure of house sitting the most beautiful house in southeast portland earlier this month. the front and backyard were full of blooming beauties. i made this arrangement with blooms clipped from the yard and am still dreaming about being back in the beautiful city oasis that my lovely friends have created.

backyard bouquet // spring flowers

oh the peony...the flower coveted by most brides and worshiped by the flower lover...here i mixed it with rannunculus, snowballs, columbine, angel vine and flowering foliage i found growing in my mom's yard.

backyard bouquet // spring

spring is so abundant with so much life and beauty. we are so blessed to be able to experience and be a part of it daily. this beauty was made mostly from flowers found in my moms backyard. the wild roses and honeysuckle were found on the side of the road, invisible to most, asking to be noticed and appreciated...and now they can be. happy spring!

this beauty was made from flowers all found in my mom's yard; clematis, snowball viburnum, lilac, forget me not's and ferns. so soft and pretty i want to curl up in it and take a nap.

i love this one so much i just have to share a few more photos of it. it is spring at it's best, with dancing poppies, rannunculus and spirea to name a few.

i picked all these flowers (except for the rannunculus) from my sisters yard a couple weeks ago. i'm jealous of her yard, but she does let me come and pick whatever i want as long as i make a little something for her, so i can't complain. the rannunculus are from a farm not far away, they have the most beautiful rannunculus around. more of this beauty coming soon!
