Dry Hydrangea

I simply love hydrangeas!

They're the flowers that

 just

 keep
 

on

 giving

even after they're

fresh cut & enjoyed for a spell.

 

This dry bouquet is from LAST year.

 

 

I have five more bundles drying
 in my messy shed.

 

My greenhouse job involves trimming shrubs

for various businesses & civilians.

All those blooms were "rescued" from the

trash pile trailer.  I don't have the heart

to just let them go, can you blame me???

 

 

I use old jars found in the woods for vases.

Old hymn pages gave this brown

one some vintage appeal! 

Lace & keys add small details too.

 

I have some brown blooms on my own plants,

that are past prime.  They'll be getting a spray

paint revival & added to some evergreen

for a festive Christmas arrangement.

(expect a post here on that!)

 

Here are some great Pinterest examples:
