February 4, 2012 -- February Gold


This is sort of a replay of my January 28 arrangement (February Gold daffodils in little industrial spools), but I like this one better. This time, there's a woody honeysuckle vine connecting the two spools (resting on top of and crossing between them), and inserted through gaps in the vine are daffodils and variegated Vinca (periwinkle) foliage. I'm always wanting to pull up that Vinca, which grows near Flower Camp steps, because it's sort of invasive and certainly not native, but every year I remember how useful it is as an arranging green and let it continue to grow. It often manages to look fresh even in the dead of winter, and I certainly enjoyed using it today. Execution again postponed.
