February 15, 2012 -- so green

If you could smell what's in this green vase, the contents would be enough, without embellishment, to be satisfying : many scented geranium leaves with one cluster of green hellebore flowers.

But, alas, when you are publishing things that involve visual images only, the criteria change. Because I was perusing a vase catalog today, I saw all sorts of contemporary arrangements that included materials like the green, woody "ribbon" used below. I also added a clutch of daffodils from a previous arrangement to what's below. Better? Visually, probably yes, but experientially, I'm not so sure.
