This week’s bouquet comes with a table setting from Saturday when my Mother and sister came for lunch on the screened porch.
Since I set the table with my bee dishes, I kept the arrangement to all yellows and whites.
Having once been a beekeeper, I am partial to anything with bees on it, and these are my favorite summer plates.
I started this arrangement with leftover Queen Anne’s lace from last week’s bouquet.
And then picked my cutting garden clean of yellow zinnias and snap dragons.
I love the softness of this bouquet, the subtle yellows with tints of pink and soft orange.
With a break in the heat wave, we had perfect summer weather for a lunch on the porch and a lovely time together.
Sweet company and sweetness in a jar.
Linking with Rambling in the Garden for “In a Vase on Monday”.

Zinnias are definitely getting added to me try to grow in the garden list. Love the plates.

I love my zinnias. This was the first summer I have ever grown them from seed and they have been a continual joy in the garden. Everytime I go out there, they make me smile. I’m so glad I gave them a try.
Happy Monday Penny!

Please poke it’s like the softest summer in a vase. I love the green tones in the shape of the stems, the delicate petals… it was a great choice of flowers and goes beautifully with your table scape.
