It’s been quite some time since I posted a photo showing one of the flower arrangements I designed that was then photographed by Spencer.

This arrangement especially appeals to me since my favorite color is purple. I love the way the cool green pompoms contrast so well with the elegant tall purple stalks (don’t know what type of flower they are).

A few Sundays ago, The Seattle Times Pacific Northwest magazine had an article on flower arranging by long-time contributor and gardening guru, Valerie Easton. I learned a lot by reading it, and hope you will, too.

Just for fun, here’s a gorgeous bouquet I snapped standing outside the Women’s Conditioning Room at the Washington Athletic Club. The florists there are truly talented; their weekly changing arrangements send me into my workout inspired and uplifted.
