Mothering Sunday 2017

Thought you might like to see the flowers I received for Mothering Sunday.

I had a lovely lot this year... both girls brought a lovely selection which I had great pleasure in arranging.

There were pink, yellow and white chrysanths, roses, lilies and various greenery.
I ended up with these beauties ......


Here I selected the pink and white chrysanths with a background of some bright blue flowers- names unknown.





The roses from two bouquets and zinnias from another two formed this arrangement.




Having run out of Oasis blocks I had to place the rest of the flowers in vases.

I only have one decent vase - blue glass with gold trim, I think it was PJ's mother's vase.


The second vase was a 'silly' present from DDN many years ago, which 'surfaced' just before Christmas.  It is a flat pack vase - honest, that's the name on the bag -  and it opened out into a very tall vase - perfect for today's flowers.

  1. Thanks so much for recently making a comment on my blog ... and HAPPY MOTHER's Day! Here in the USA, Mother's Day isn't until May. I think the UK has better timing. Spring blossoms are wonderful earlier in the season and the day isn't shared with so many school graduations! Your flowers are lovely! Susan
