Laurie, those are stunning! You did a beautiful job and the lucky recipients must be thrilled. I bet they smell divine! We need a scratch and sniff gallery, lol.

They're beautiful Laurie, they look better than professional ones! I hope you gave them to someone deserving!

Ah, shucks,*blushing* thanks guys! One goes to my mil for her birthday and the other one goes to a close friend whose mil passed away. Luckily the lilies are early to bloom this year, so I was able to use them. I was thinking that with the amount of lilies in the larger arrangement(about 25) it would cost a fortune to have a florist make it!
And yes, Cindy, the scent from the Scentimental roses is wonderful. Wish I could share that with everyone too!

VERY very pretty!

Wonderful job with the arrangements! Wish I was lucky enough to get one like those. :)

Laurie, you inspired me to give it a go. I was walking around the yard tonight after it rained for 24 hours straight...and decided to do a bit of deadheading...then decided to cut a few things to enjoy.
Here's the fruits of my labor...its a bit blurry cause I used my cell phone to take the pic...still can't connect my camera to the puter.

In the arrangement are 2 types of hosta leaves, Chilled Wine Iris, Achillea, a couple of painted daisies, some unknown Daylilies...most likely Stella D'oro, a couple of Coral Bells and something unknown at the top, the purple clump...it is on a tall stalk and is a cluster of bell like flowers. It looks familiar to me, but I can't place the name...

Awesome. I very seldom make arrangements. But my 6 year old always does. Imagine the difference.

Very bright, cheerful arrangement Michele!

It's truly amazing what can be whipped together to form an arrangement in a matter of minutes if I have to. I don't usually make many bouquets. Just for special occasions and when frost threatens!lol

Hey Laurie, if and ever me and the ol' man tie the knot, will you be my florist arranger ;)

Well done....They're so beautifully elegant!

You bet Sharon! But it'll have to be in the height of lily season ;^)
