Garden-Fresh Flowers

mid-summer Bouquet Gladiolus 'Violetta', Eucomis, Allium, and a rose form the basis for this small arrangement. I added a sprig of Murraya, a citrus relative, for fragrance.	Hymenocallis Peruvian daffodil (Hymenocallis) blooms just a few weeks after planting.
Martagon lily bouquet Martagon lilies are a delicate addition to bouquets. They bloom early in the lily season.	Hydrangea Yarrow bouquet Hydrangeas, yarrow, bee balm and amaranth combine in July.
Peony bouquet Peonies, Ornithogalum, Lady's mantle, and Euphorbia in early June.	Chinese aster bouquet Late summer brings on the Chinese asters (Calistephus chinensis), which create long-lasting in bouquets.
Tulip bouquet Tulip 'Akebono', a double yellow with deep pink edge mixes with Muscari and Epimedium leaves.	Zinnia bouquet Zinnia Queen Lime 'Red Heart' is a great mixer or stand-alone flower in bouquets.
Early Summer Bouquet Peonies, Astrantia, and Lupine make an ultra colorful arrangement for early summer.	Bouquet Mid to late summer brings hardy Begonia, panicle Hydrangea, tuberoses, ferns, and Hosta flowers for a long-lasting bouquet.
Dahlia bouquet There is nothing like a bouquet of Dahlias to say, "summer is here."	Rose bouquet Two fragrant roses combine with a little Clematis: Rosa Gruss an Aachen is the pale peach tone and the deep coral rose is called 'At Last'.
Dahlia & Glad Bouquet An old-fashioned gladiolus called Starface combines with Coleus and a spidery Dahlia called Tsuki Yori no Shisha (Messenger from the Moon).
