Since our garden has a great many evergreen plants/shrubs (easy in coastal Northern CA), I have a wide variety of foliage to choose from when I do bouquets. Among the more unusual are plectranthus, calla lily and canna lily leaves, azalea, variegated rhamnus (buckthorn), variegated pelargoniums of several types, yellow sage, Japanese maple and Indian hawthorn.

I was more concerned about the garden looking good year round, rather than for cutting purposes. To my delight I have found that a number of our plants are great in bouquets. My DH is counting himself fortunate because in the last three years (since we put in the landscaping) he hasn't had to buy me flowers once, LOL. I’ll post some of the arrangements I've done in the last year. This one is callas, bearded iris, freesias and cestrum.
