Wedding work and the hot weather are wreaking a little bit of havoc with my fine tuned plan for one arrangement per week. There is still plenty blooming in the garden chiefly dahlias but some scattered annuals and perennials like loosestrife (captured in a pot), clematis, snapdragons, Alstromeria, agastache, abutilon, fuschia and the like, many of these rather dainty especially against the blowsy dahlias.  So this week features a finely textured arrangement with some of the other flowers blooming right now.

The vase is extra special too with a lovely blue color and embossed looking swirls. It’s vintage art pottery.
