Friday Flowers -- From The People in my Neighbourhood. . .

 Yes! Here I am again. . . with flowers. . . We've had a houseful (condo-full ;-)) since yesterday afternoon, so I have little time to write, but I'd got the photos ready earlier in the week, and if I can get some accompanying text added before Baby Grandson and his Mama come out of their bedroom, I can post these today. After that, I don't expect many quiet moments until everyone packs up Sunday afternoon, and that's just fine with me. . . .

I bought the three stems of seedheads and berries at a wonderful florist in my neighbourhood -- The Wild Bunch. My husband brought me one of their imaginative bouquets when I was sick a few weeks ago, and although I thought it was too early to splurge on a whole bouquet again, I did think they might have something to enliven the hydrangeas I dried and popped in a vase summer before last.

And I'm so pleased with the result, although OH, the challenge of choosing only three stems in a shop with so many possibilities! I did choose, though, and I came home with a stem of Eryngium (the thistles you can see most clearly in the top two photos), Eucalyptus, gone to seed (the sprawling, green seedheads, clearest below -- I love the texture these add), and a stem of Beautyberry (I couldn't resist this -- I had three Callicarpa (beautyberry) bushes in my old garden, and I've been imagining how wonderful they must look right now). . . .

I can hear our little fellow gurgling and murmuring with his Mama right now (I suspect his Papa, our son, is doing his best not to hear), so I know my time at the keyboard is limited--I'll be distracted very soon by the enchanting possibility of cuddles and of watching a little fellow show off his ability to sit up, roll over, and grunt one knee forward into a crawl.

So quickly, more photos from various directions -- because of the shifting light, the windows all around, I found it tough to get a good shot that gives a sense of the overall shape and captures the texture and colour. Hence the multiples from various directions, at different times of day.

I'm thinking I will probably go back to The Wild Bunch in a few weeks and add more of the Eucalyptus seed, if they still have it. . .

In my old home, on our little island, I used to forage for wild seed-heads, grasses, rose-hips, etc., late in the fall, and arrange them into a huge bouquet with stems of salal and fir -- in fact, I suppose I've done that in each of our homes since my mid-20s. And one of these days, I think we'll drive out of the city a bit and find a field or roadside spot where my secateurs and I won't be hauled away for harvesting a few armfuls to transform, to domesticate with vase and bow.

But meanwhile, these three stems have transformed my tired bouquet of hydrangeas at a relatively modest cost.  And I'm developing a list of Belles Addresses right in my own back yard.

What about you? Do you splurge on floral arrangements regularly or save them for very special occasions? Or do you like to make up your own? And do you have a garden planted with cutting and arranging in mind? Or, like me, have you found a florist that really suits your aesthetic, a florist with a creative approach? I love a bit of wild or naturalistic in floral arrangements (as long as the gathering is done with the environment in mind) -- you? And one last question, does your neighbourhood have some wonderful resources right within walking distance? I miss so much about my last home, but I'm really coming to appreciate some great shops and services nearby -- planning to tell you more about those in posts to come.

But now, time to make a Mama a cup of coffee, swap it for a Baby. . .

Not sure if I'll post again from home or if I'll be in Edinburgh next time I wave at you, but meanwhile, Happy Weekend!
