Seasonal Flower Alliance: June 19

I’m a little bit cheating this week since I didn’t get a chance to post my demo bouquet from the workshop and we were in a hurry to get out of town before the rest of the freshly let-out-of-school kids beat us to the campgrounds. These are the quick digital versions, but I can’t wait to see the film shots taken by one of my all time favorite photographers, Heather Payne.

Bouquet includes: peonies, heirloom rambling roses, mock orange, bleeding hearts, sweet pea tendrils and flowers and grasses.

I am continuously inspired by the many great posts tagged with #seasonalfloweralliance over on Instagram.  I love seeing what’s blooming in your neck of the woods!   Since it is British Flowers Week, I thought I’d highlight a couple cuties from our flower friends ‘across the pond.’
