bouquet of hyacinths, hellebores, tulips and anemones

i cut this arrangement too short, not sure what i was thinking. i spend a lot of time sitting on the floor putting my arrangements together; space in my studio apartment is somewhat tight. and i need to head to the fabric store to get yards of backdrop -- i love my grey walls, but monotony can get uninspiring.

i'm thinking about my gardens this spring -- what survived the winter, what to plant, etc. i planted a lots of bleeding hearts, astilbe and scabiosas last year and i need to prune back my clematis plants and roses. and i need to amend the soil in our garden beds and think about what annuals to plant. i may skip the sweet peas this year until i can be around more often to care for them. there'll be a lot of dahlias next year, i know that for sure. maybe i'll try planting some icelandic poppies and put in some more peonies.
