Thanks, Ivy1. The hydrangea, crepe myrtle, gardenia arrangement turned out better than I expected, and the gardenia added such a wonderful scent! I was tempted to keep the arrangement for myself, but I gave it to one of my young piano students as a graduation present.

The name of the dahlia in the picture above is Jean Marie. It is my very first dahlia bloom, and I am so excited that it turned out so beautiful. Here is a picture of it in the garden before I cut it.
