Yesterday we took a bouquet of flowers to a friend of ours who just had knee surgery. I picked the flowers and Michael put them together. These are daffodils, hellebores, star magnolia and Harry Lauder's walking stick.
How lucky you are to have such beautiful things growing in your garden, and to be able to share them with your friend. How lucky your friend is to be the recipient!
Somebody has some SERIOUS talent. That bouquet is beautiful. Love the wisps of the HL walking stick. Only a gifted eye would know to use them to such good effect.
Hi Phillip, how cheering a bouquet and how sweet of you to offer flowers from your garden. Those are way more special than purchased ones. Daffodils are one of the only flowers I will cut to bring inside, if bad weather is predicted to ruin the petals. I do hope your friend has a fast and full recovery. Frances
Now that beautiful arrangement would cheer up even a dead man walking. I hope your friend "got" the neat symbolism of your HL Walking Stick sprigs with the knee surgery. BTW, do you have good luck rooting HL cuttings?
You're so lucky to have so much blooming to actually be able to make such a full arrangement. I'd make one too but my one blooming hellebore stem would look lonely in a big ole vase! I guess I expect too much from a 3 year old garden. thanks for brightening my day with your bouquet.
Are those hellebores I see? I'm so jealous! Mine have just not performed well over the last few years, in spite of organic amendments. That's a beautiful arrangement. I've got two Harry Lauder's and love their quirky twists and turns.

Our spring bulbs are just an inch or two out of the ground. Looks like you are about a month a head of us. I can't wait!! Beautiful flower for a lucky friend!!

Looks like it says cheer up in the most special way. Happy Sunday to ya'll.

Really lovely and a kindness I am sure was much appreciated....Michael did a great job with the arrangement. Gail
That's beautiful Phillip! The bouquet looks unique - not the usual roses and gerberas! Awesome.
That would cheer anyone up. How beautiful!

Love the walking stick, it's a great addition to the bouquet!

A beautiful bouquet!
So much in bloom in your garden in February! Your friend was immediately cheered, I am sure, by that bounty of beauty from your garden. Very creative.
I'm not feeling so well , Phillip and could a real picker upper like those beautiful flowers from your garden :-)
That arrangement would make a great subject for a painting.
Carolyn, I hope you get better soon!
Jon, I never made that connection!
