Eleanor complimented my arrangement during her breakfast cereal. Last she had seen them, the irises were tightly furled. So to her, the bright white blooms seemed to have appeared by magic.
I personally, was a bit annoyed by their early arrival since the roses are still buds. The effect is a little FTD for my taste...but maybe that's what I get for mixing roses and irises. I thought the yellow filler flower I the bought at Harris Teeter (yes - just that much thought went into this posey) would tie the white/yellow and orange together.
I'm hoping it will look better when the roses open up. But by then the irises will probably be on their way out and I'll have to find a replacement for them. Not very efficient.
Florist - I am not.
What do you think? Fabulous or FTD? Please be honest - I try to learn from my mistakes...
The daughter of a decorator, at age four, I told my mother that "every room needs a touch of yellow." This was the beginning of my lifelong obsession with lovely interiors.

I think it looks gorgeous! I have ZERO talent when it comes to arranging flowers - whatever comes in the bouquet at Wegmans, in whatever order, is what goes straight into our vases. :(
I think your arrangements are great and I'm so impressed that you regularly have fresh flowers on the table. I can't arrange flowers worth a damn.
Love you,
Mom
