I thought about opening a Bouquet thread. I would love to get more arrangement inspiration from everyone.

It's the first time I have enough production where I can actually afford to cut more to bring in, without significantly affecting the look of the bush. On the downside, it's addictive. :)

Here are mine gathered in one place, and apologies for some repeats due to collages. They are all combinations of:

Olivia Rose Austin

Plum Perfect

Easy Does It

Beverly

Belinda's Dream

Dee-lish

Good as Gold

Cl Pinkie for a bit of filler

I guess you can play the "Where's Waldo" game with each one. :)

ORA has outdone itself in terms of production and her cluster puff-cloud effect in bouquets is just heavenly, even if she is not the longest lasting thing around. She can make it three days though.

EDI is a gracefully fading delight when she's aging. Glamorous aging for sure, possibly looking better than in her bright orange youth, which is not everyone's cup of tea :).

Beverly just loves the stage. She is one of those who love attention, no self-effacing graces with her.

Good as Gold provides unapologetic happy but vase life is rather poor, and so are other aspects but that luscious gold is just glowing. Otherwise, I have no idea why he's still with me, probably because he got me started with roses.

Plum Perfect is a classic Grande Dame, I imagine Lady Violet in Downton Abbey.

Belinda and Dee-Lish - larger-than-life yet very gracious, low-key ladies.

Ring of Fire is not here and if it does make it in a bouquet it will have to be on its own, maybe with black frou-frou feathers. (lol) The bush life on that one is close to a miracle.

My Munstead Wood is recovering transferred in a container and he seems to prefer the Pot Life over fighting clay ground and tree roots. Can't blame him (this one's a boy for me).

My only regret is that the camera will never be able to capture his unparalleled gorgeousness. Not present here but I can't wait for those blooms to arrive. :)

Eden just takes its very sweet time.
