Dill “Mariska”, Daucus “Dara”, Ammi “Green Mist”, Didiscus caerulea, Gypsophila Kermesina and some Cilantro blossoms.
Some of my favourite bouquet “fillers” are finally in bloom, so I decided to celebrate umbellifers with this simple airy contribution to Cathy’s fun meme. That’s really all I can say about this one.
Lush green high summer bouquet.
Another celebration: The return of Lathyrus chlorantus, a unique little neon-coloured species which is capable of surviving long gruelling heat waves. I combined them with various branches I picked up on a walk along the river Panke, plus “Green Envy” Zinnias, Hordeum jubatum, self-sown feverfew and Lathyrus odoratus “Baby’s Blush”, a pretty and fragrant grandiflora Sweet Pea which opened yesterday. That one acutally starts out with a hint of apple green on the wings.

What I love most about the whole range of lime green blossoms is how different they look under different light conditions and with different partners. Of course to a certain degree that is true for ALL colours – but I think that particular kind of citrussy tinge is really able to change character, from warm to cool.
The same bouquet with indirect evening light.
That’s it for the 1st Monday of August.
