You can make this voluptuous arrangement with Peonies, Roses and Lisianthus accented with silvery Dusty Miller and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. This full and lush arrangement needs only a few flowers and costs under $15.00. The Peonies have golden yellow stamens that look like silk tassels and the Iceberg rose stamens repeat the golden color. The intensely colored small violet flowers and Dusty Miller came from my neighbor’s yard. Thank you Perry.

To keep the flowers in place use floral foam and a waterproof tape grid. You have to poke holes in the foam for some of the stems with a floral pick or a chopstick.

If you have your supplies let’s make hay while the sun shines. It is summer.
