Flower of the Week: Inspired Combo

This week when I was standing in line at Trader Joe's the women in line ahead of me turned aroudn and asked where I got the white hydrangeas I had in my cart, so pointed her in their direction. When she returned she showed me how she planned to pair them with some lilacs, the combination was just lovely. Naturally, I asked her where the lilacs were, and went to check them out, when I saw the $9 price tag I was reminded that I have my own Lilac tree with blooms on it that I could use instead. Unfortunatly most of my lilac blooms were gone, but I plan to remember this lovely combination for next year. Hopefully I run into that women in the future, so she can inspire me again.
The white and liliac combonation is so pretty and the fragrance is amazing.
The vase is from one of the table arrangements at my wedding.
And some irises from my yard.
What are your flowers for the week? Post link for me if you took pictures.

  3. Ohhhh, I'm so jealous that you have a lilac tree. We don't have those in Florida. I miss their lovely fragrance!

  6. I love your flowers! I will have to try that combination myself when my lilac tree blooms, which should be soon enough. I adore flowers too, and here's a link to a post I did a couple of days ago:
