PlantTherapy:Saturday Morning Flowers

Candy Stripe Cosmos ( Cosmos bipinnatus )

Now that some unpacking is done in our new place, nothing feels better than getting back to some regular routines. The one I missed most was getting a few flowers to have out on the table. This week I pulled out the bud vases I bought recently and put in a few stems of Cosmos.

We're sending a shout-out to all of you who bring home flowers to brighten up your home. Do YOU have some Sat. morning flowers to share? Let me know! You can drop a line with a small description and some pics at matt at apartment therapy dot com

Bud vases are great for allowing you to be creative with very little. By design they are able to hold only a few stems. By clustering three they work together just as well as one larger vase. These Cosmos were left over from a larger arrangement, so this really cost next to nothing.

At first and second glance, I was sure this was a painting.
