Fallen in Love with Mums...

Chrysanthemums that is. At this time of year when everyone is still feeling the pinch in their pockets from Christmas but everything in the garden is looking so sludgy I have decided that Chrysanthemums are the ticket.
You can make some really lovely floral arrangments with them, stunning colours and they have a fab texture. I know, I know, you are thinking petrol station flowers and old grannies. But really they last for an age, they are inexpensive and bring a bit of life to a room when we are not quite out of winter. Look what I did with half an hour....
In this arangement I accessorisied  the flowers with mother of pearl buttons and hat netting.
