Hi Lovelies,

Welcome to the first installment of “Photo Friday”. These are the “leftover” pictures that I feel need a place to call home. I hope that you love them as much as I do.

IMG_20150802_120622 — ‘Cafe Au Lait’ Dahlias. If you’ve never heard of them, they’re totally in fashion right now – and understandably so, the colors are so gorgeous. Though, they obviously vary.

IMG_20150802_192543 — A bucket full of mixed sunflowers. Sorry to say that I’m not quite such which varieties these are.

IMG_20150802_193854 — These Lavender Queen and Benary’s Salmon zinnas are sporting a beautiful ombre coloring. I’m not sure what causes this, but I’m absolutely in love with it.

IMG_20150802_203619 — These Benary’s Red were bigger than some of my sunflowers. I’ve never seen zinnias this large before. Talk about glorious!

IMG_20150802_204451 — A bucket filled with zinnias, gladiolus, and celosia.

IMG_20150803_000200 — After hours of picking, my reward was buckets of flowers! Not a bad trade, if you ask me!

IMG_20150803_144736 — Another arrangement to keep to myself. Filled with zinnias, sunflowers, celosia, dianthus, echinacea, globe amaranth, bright lights cosmos, amaranth, and pokeweed foliage. I feel so lucky to be able to pick these.

IMG_20150803_193528 — My first try at drying flowers. Dried sunflowers look quite unique! Who knows if this homemade drying rack will work! I hope so!
