This piece, “Pollen Shower” by artist Flora Bowley has such an unusual and striking color palette that I knew it would be a fun opportunity to put together something other than my usual color combinations! Heading to the flower market, I bought some dark kale, purple lisianthus, pink astilbe, lavender roses, white agapanthus and ornithogalum, some bright orange ranunculus, and I added some small purple ventana blooms from my garden for the smaller scale. The vibrant purple, pale pink, and orange is such a fun contrast that I decided to send this bouquet onto someone needing an extra pep in their day, tied with some bright blue ribbon! — Liz
