Phloral Arrangment – IAVOM/Snowfall Bouquet

On By TimelessladyIn Phloral Arrangements

Seven hundred days…that is how long the weather forecasters told us our area had not seen accumulating snowfall. This week, when the skies greyed and beautiful snowflakes began to descend, it created a swell of joy in many, especially children with new sleds and toboggans. It was a superb snowstorm, not so much as to cause a complete standstill, but enough to have a bit of fun in. Even the most winter-weary could not feel hostility toward it when they gazed at a landscape frosted with white.

There is little left in my yard to vase. I took advantage of an amaryllis that had grown so top-heavy it had to spend its last days in the garage. I found a basket instead of a vase. Anything glass or porcelain might have cracked in the freezing temperatures. I plucked a few stems of sedum that still had some dried flowers and placed them in the spring-green basket. The amaryllis mirrored the brilliant snow. It is a fun way to celebrate IAVOM (In a Vase on Monday) and the glorious snowfall.

    1. It was a beauty. I still have the bulb and will try to keep it going next year. It had three flower spikes. The last was so huge and so tall the pot, even with support, flipped over. It finally lhad to bloom in the garage, and then the snowfall was a perfect opportunity to make it a star again.

        Oh lucky you. I had one just like this last year but sadly it hasn’t shown any sign of blooming this year. Our bout with “snow” turned out to look more like rice scattered on the ground. Maybe next year will be our snow year. Snow ,for a day or two, makes the cold more bearable.

  6. I love the description of your snowfall and the feelings it generated in those who experienced it 😊 Your white amaryllis is a perfect symbol of that joy – and I love its green centres!
