Can’t you just hear the music? I see a dance hall full of swirling red and yellow skirts, smiling faces, warmth and energy.

There are no wallflowers among dahlias.

Just another tough day of work…can I do this every day? Flowers by Jodi Irwin – Acanthus Floral Art.

embarrassment of riches

As if the wealth of sun-ripened berries and full rainbow of farm-fresh veggies weren’t enough – the farmer’s market is now bursting with blooms in such exuberantly colorful & random bouquets that is almost feels like too much. Almost.

other people’s gardens

I am grateful to all the people in my neighborhood who plant spring flowers.

Thanks, and ever thanks. Your gardens give me more delight than you can imagine.

There are at least two great things about having a client who’s a florist: I not ONLY get paid to take pictures of flowers (!!!) – once in a while I’m also graced with a beautiful take-home bonus.
