They are Fresh Flowers

Created to bring delight to us

Two of my wonderful friends recently celebrated their birthdays and I had decided to get some fresh flowers. Thinking of what my parents had around their yard, there wasn't much... So I decided to be creative and mix some different things together. I was so pleased with the results and so were the Birthday girls...

 consists of: hydrangeas, lambs ear, wormwood and ivy

Back in Newcastle, I was visiting a friend and found these old hydrangeas, so picked a couple for my desk, even though they are old, they are still beautiful and have the same power...
