Flower Show 2011

I took this picture at the Philadelphia flower show at the beginning of my Spring Break.  The theme this year was Paris.  The show was spectacular.  The style was very formal and eclectic.  There were flowers everywhere and it was a nice relief from the damp cold of winter.

A rose for autumn

This is a fairly simple all around arrangement.  It is orange roses, bakers fern, and eucalyptus.  It is certainly a lot more spread out than many of my arrangements, but I like it.  It is airy and quite pretty, although it was difficult for me to convince myself to keep it that spread out.  I like to put the flowers quite a bit closer together if I have any choice in the matter.  However, I do like the way it turned out, even if it is quite different from what I normally do.
