wow what a fantastic thread.
I was attracted by the title of winter flowering & have followed you all from there...
as the Northern hemisphere heads into spring we down under are into autumn.
My garden is doing well as apart from a few frosty nights it has been mild.
In fact the last 3 days we have been having a mini heat wave.
26C max the other day & at least 24C today!
Looking at your amazing arrangements I am inspired to try my hand at a few.
Next step is to wander into the local Sallies store & look for some vases - I have one large one, I have a friend who is seriously into her floral art & when I commented that I had no vases she was horror struck.
So guess what she got me last Xmas...
now to fill it.
I did have a bowl that I never thought of using for flowers until somebody mentioned floating camellias.
And since I have some lovely white ones out right now.
