Florets - Floral Quote by Caroline Clifton Mogg

" We are, apparently, buying more flowers than ever, a fact that can only bring pleasure to all. A room without flowers seems unlived in and uncared for - even the humblest bunch of spring daffodils lights up a table or a corner far more effectively than a 100-watt bulb. As well as being important details, flowers are part of the decoration of a room and, just as with other aspects of interior decoration, the flowers we choose and the way we like to see them displayed are subject to changing fashion and contemporary taste."

Flowers and Vintage Flickr Group - White Hydrangeas

My series of photographs from my Flickr Group Flowers and Vintage continues and this time it's all about White Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are a very popular flowering shrub, they are easy to grow and there are hundreds of varieties. They are long-flowering and they come in colours ranging from brilliant blue, through soft pinks to striking deep reds and pure whites and some also have interesting autumn leaves.

Hydrangeas are wonderful as a cut flower and they also look great as a dried flower - that lasts for ages.

Florets - Floral Quote by Rebecca Tanqueray

"The simplest and quickest way to bring a table to life is with flowers. Not only do they add colour and interest to the scheme, but they will also give a special touch to any occasion and need not cost a great deal of money. For tabletop flowers, large structured bouquets aren't necessary. Something simple and subtle works best, even for a smart dinner. Single stems (or even just individual flowerheads) placed in glasses along the centre of the table are far more modern than a stiff, formal display."
