Leaf Piles

Roses for me. Also for yuletide, but mostly for me. Sometimes the roses in your life just need to be literal.

Fresh flowers for celebration! This  bouquet was so full that it has a front and a back view.

The Halloween flowers have moved to the table and become an all-chrysanthemum affair.

I feel like the specifically-halloween flowers are a good picture for today.

The October bouquet gave in kind of early, so it got replaced with one of all-alstroemeria, which held up much better.

The surviving flowers for this month are still very heart-pleasing, especially when when I feel rather dried out and ragged myself.

Appropriately ragged autumn bouquet, this month.

With bonus decorative gourds.

I felt in need of some flowers, today.

And for once the alstroemeria actually outlasted everything but the hydrangea.

This bouquet was big enough to need splitting into two vases, which is always gratifying for grocery flowers.

Chrysanthemums last longer than anything, though.
