Beauty of the Earth

Altar flowers in May: Lilacs and tulips from the garden combine with orange lilies and yellow solidaster from the florist.

Iris, dame's rocket, columbine, vetch and ferns give a woodsy sparkle to an outdoor event.

A potato basket overflowing with potato blossoms, lilies, balsam, and sea lavender pays tribute at the funeral of a potato farmer and wreath dealer.

        On Memorial Day this altar arrangement honored the memories of many loved ones.

Peonies, globe thistle, lady's mantle and larch for a July dinner party.

      Pink and blue and a lily to

                    brighten someone's day.
