The week of flowers

Well been a busy week, monday class was the pedestal arrangement. Then just a few flowers from the car boot sale yesterday that i made to sell, will show you my stall just as soon as i get the picture in my email box.

The roses, well they are just divine. Blizzard roses with a beautiful scent were just simply handtied, had to keep some for me.

Then the paeonies, ranunculus and snowflake gerbera, if i could eat them i would.
