I'm sure by now I've mentioned that I love flowers. And they don't need to be heirloom roses...wild flowers growing by the side of the highway have made my heart skip a beat many times. My absolute favorite thing about spring and summer is having flowers regularly in my house cut from my garden. Although the word garden might be stretching it -how about flower beds. I love having flowers in front of my house, but actually working to get them blooming is definitely not my favorite thing to do. Which is why I only have perennials in my flower beds so I can put them in once and basically forget about them for years to come (with the occasional pruning and relocating of course).
When the flowers make it into the house, I love to display them. But, I very rarely display cut flowers in a crystal vase. If they are in a crystal vase, then that vase is usually tucked inside some other kind of container. Like an ironstone pitcher (as shown above), a pedestal bowl, sap bucket, galvanized tub, teacup, bowl, and on and on. Just setting wild flowers in a mason jar is one of my favorite arrangements. Displaying flowers with this simple method makes a statement, helps the flowers look more natural, and just seems more homey. Try it!
