“White” is happening in our garden this week, so it seemed appropriate that we offer a “Study in White” for this week’s vase. The ‘Immortality’ bearded iris bed is loaded with blooms in various stages and takes center stage in the arrangement.
The small shrub Deutzia gracilis ‘Chardonnay Pearl’ is in full bloom and was selected as the filler.
My Arranger elected to use the Japanese Kenzan vase once again for this simple presentation.

I love a white vase….my white garden is flowering beautifully and I was thinking of using the blooms to make a white vase soon! Of course it will not be as lovely as your Japanese Kenzan vase.

Will certainly be looking forward to your white vase. Hope it is soon.

On my walk this morning I too selected Deutzia and almost clipped my white iris! Instead I’ve chosen some peony and a rose. Will post it soon!

Thanks, Cathy. You must be getting close to the countdown to the wedding. Will be hoping all goes well, the bride and groom are dutifully married in front of God, family, and friends, and that you eventually will get a bit of rest.

Thank you, Donna. I had not planted deutzia before this garden but have been pleased with it here. It suffered a bit from a late frost, but enough was available for the arrangement.
