thanks for the friendly welcome :)
In my earlier post mentioned my friend who is really into floral art, she has been a big inspiration to me.
I have posted pics of her display at the Ellerslie International Flower show earlier this year...

Jan does lovely table arrangements for the RSA, it infuriates me to have to pick rubbish out of them each morning!
Why some people think it is ok to stuff their old eftpos dockets & raffle tickets into the arrangement is beyond me :(
Too lazy to take them from the table to the bin I guess.
My pic this time is not a very good one - I picked two roses & a camellia for the wreath laying on ANZAC Day.
the red rose is for my Grandfather, the white camellia for my Grandmother & the other rose is named Yours Always which I thought was an appropriate symbol of our family ties...
the ribbon is tartan to symbolise my husbands Scottish ancestry & the way past & present are brought together on this day & we are all bound together by love.
Well it made sense to me:)
