IMG_6605 If I had the funds, our house would be full of fresh cut flowers from a florist all the time.....................
Being realistic................. and trying to be innovative................ I present to you an alternative to expensive blooms from the florist.................
IMG_6596 ........ Wild flowers from the wayside................. in this case, with a colour theme of 'dark and gold'.
IMG_6590 When I returned home from having collected my flowers, I arranged them in a vase like a florist might, with blades of grass adding a bit of 'pizazz'. I liked the way they were turned into something out-of-the-ordinary................. a fancy bouquet of weeds!
IMG_6600 ......And this one is my 'Fancy Weeds', more casual, 'plonked in a cup' version...........
As I've said before.............. I love nature's freebies..................

The most beautiful flowers are the ones you can pick for yourself.
