This first section of photos is comprised of things that were "arranged." Since I took about 30 photos this morning, I thought I might break them into categories. This first set is of arrangements that I personally found appealing. Above is the centerpiece from a table in one of the competitive categories. The tablescape as a whole didn't win, but I thought the centerpiece was pretty fabulous. Roses and hellebores are such a beautiful combination...shame they don't grow at the same time of year in nature.
The arrangement above is live plants, done in a birdbath. This one took first place in that division, and involved lots of forced winter plants. It was pretty cool to watch over the course of three days as things opened and others faded. Kudos to the entrants for coming back every day to "fluff' it up". The birdbath below took second place in the same category. I liked it because it appears almost to be from the bottom of the ocean.
The terrarium below was done by my friend, Sara, and my photo doesn't do it justice. It won first place in its category and was just beautiful! I'm afraid my photo doesn't give a good image of how softly-faded and aged it was in appearance. You'll have to take my word for how stunning it was! (As usual, click the photos to make them larger.)
