Karma,
You have some great foliage options from your garden!! That is something we need to do more with in our garden (i.e. begin thinking more about how various foliage types could be worked into arrangements). Very interesting. Love the zinnias too!!
DG Electronic Floral Show "Summer Holiday"
Beautiful arrangement Karma, I love your lantana! very kind of you to make that for mrsB. Thanks for the explanation
of internship.I'm learning so much here.
I am having a great time on the Tropical Island, It's carnival here, and joining the parade is...........
Aspidistra leaves, palm leaves,Canna leaves,gerbera and gladioli and wicker basket
Love those colors, Karma, even though I've never heard of half the plants LOL!
And Terri, yours reminds me of rickshaw. I just saw your chair in the other thread....What do you do with all these flower arrangements? Do you have a store? I missed some of the introductions, but you said that sometimes next door will sell you flowers discounted, or let you know when they have especially good ones in...next door to what?
Suzy
Thanks Suzy, those are your colors aren't they?
Terri, that is just WILD!!!
Hi Suzy, I don't have a store! I was talking about next door to the Flowerpot cafe'
The arrangements I make , I usually take apart and make something else until there is nothing left to make and everything has had it. ha ha!!

Wild Tropical juice!
Pineapple juice at the carnival
I'm still having fun on the Tropical Island.
I saw this big basket arrangement at the local market , here in the tropics!
I went to a local flower show.........
Dahlia and leaves
Clear vase with Roses and leaves
Clear vase with Gladioli
Terri, great idea using pineapple as a medium for your tropical display. I love what you did with the foliage in dahlia and leaves...like a nest for the dahlia. Your clear vase with roses is my favorite...very romantic. What is the small white flowers hanging over the bowl? I've seen it in a previous arrangement of yours, but not sure if you had identified it. You have so many great ideas in reusing your flowers.
Thankyou Karma, for your encouragement.
The little white flowers are from a plant called 'Russian Vine' I don't know the latin
name. It gets huge and I am training it on a trellis. The stems are very useful for
making collars and welcome rings Remove all the leaves and you can manipulate
the vine,by twisting and folding , then leave to dry for future use.
and well spotted Karma!
I used the Russian vine to try and make my coffee cups look like cupuccino's! (the chocolate
dusting didn't show on the picture).
I used Russian Vine in my garden basket.
Sorry no one new here...just wanted to post a summer arrangement before summer is over. Can't go through the summer holiday without a glass of lemonade....actually more like limeade. Lemons were expensive.
Terri and Karma,
Boundless creativity by the two of you!! :)
That looks very refreshing Karma!
Love those sunflowers,is that solidago in the jug?
I like the way you used the lime on the inside of the jug.
Something like that would look lovely in the Flowerpot Cafe' !!
Just out of interest, are lemon's more expensive than limes where you live? Lime's cost much more her

Another tropical one!
Tropical coconut with chinese lanterns
Hey Karma, there's a special offer on !
I think I'm leaving the Island now. Hope YOU enjoyed my postcards!
Aloha! I think that means hello and goodbye.
Aw, c'mon Terri. Summer isn't quite over, and it sure isn't winter yet, is it? LOL Too soon for the "goodbye" version of "aloha". Don't go!
Thanks BDale, you are a very nice man!!!

How did i miss Bdale's arrangement? Lovely whites. I wonder if this is from Mr. or Mrs. B?
Mrs. BDale, using white glads and white dahlias. :)
Very pretty Mrs. BDale. How did you do at the county fair?
