My daughter gifted me with an interesting horseshoe shaped vessel. I used it in my last post but now have the opportunity to try it out with some garden blooms – wintersweet, skimmia and hellebores all from the garden.

I was surprised that a cosmopolitan city like Dakar (Senegal) did not really have flower shops so I wasn’t able to construct much while we were away.  Although it is much greyer and colder here, cut flowers are much more available. And of course I can glean things from the garden.
