I’m a firm believer in cutting gardens. Bringing my garden into my home gives me as much pleasure as does extending my living spaces outdoors. However, I didn’t cut these flowers. I do not have a garden here in Spain {other than the bougainvillea of course} nor is it the season for mums. My husband surprised me with these a few days ago, a purchase made at one of the many cut flower stalls in the plaza. I must say that I admired his color choice. The simple beauty of the white-on-white, coupled with contrast of the exposed brick walls, feels fresh and clean. Since mums are a wonderful, long-lasting cut flower, they’re sure to keep the living room serenely beautiful until we fly home next week.
Grab a pair of clippers, pick out the perfect vase, and bring some of your outdoors in.
Check back tomorrow for our Plant of the Week!
