burlapped hellebore + french bouquets

Hellebore_flowers

hellebores are popping up everywhere in Portland right now.  they are quite possibly my favorite flower of late.  so unique and such beautiful colors.  I think this burlapped hellebore would be just perfect in my windowsill!

speaking of flowers and Portland, my friend Chelsea Fuss of the blog frolic! is hosting a class on How to Make a French Hand-Tied Bouquet.  the workshop sounds so dreamy!  perfectly timed with Mother’s Day.  space is limited, sign up here!

    they are lovely! sometimes it’s hard to see their pretty faces when they’re planted in the ground and nodding their heads down. i’ve seen the blossoms displayed floating in a bowl of water which gives you the chance to study all their details.

    wow. this is stunning.
    i love fresh flower arrangements, as they change so drastically with the placement of just one new addition…
    but this. this brings it to a whole new level. i’m in awe. thank you so much for sharing!

  3. Hellebores are so my favorite. They have a whimsy while still being simple and elegant I think. And they are one of the only cold weather bloomers which is such a treat for all this rain we’ve been having :)
