FFF 453 - OFFERING

While walking in the Darebin Parklands this morning, I came across this interesting arrangement of leaves and flowers in the midst of a circle of small stones. It was by the creek, under some gum trees and it immediately struck me as some sort of propitiatory offering to Mother Nature, or some sort of apotropaic symbol averting the evils of our times.

You can see sweet violets, fumitory, wild mustard flowers, buttercups and three-cornered leek flowers, all arranged within a circle of gum leaves.

FFF7 - PEONIES AND ORCHIDS

Peonies are quite sumptuous flowers that lend themselves to quite spectacular displays in arrangements, especially if complemented by other exotic blooms like orchids. We haven't had much success in growing peonies in our garden, but bouquets are available at florist shops, so one can enjoy them when in season.
