Yardqueen I love your baskets and your whole house. I swear I have picked out your wallpaper at some point in my life, and I like all the materials in the background: wood, brick, carpet and dog toy in that last photo corner of wall/fireplace, I think. LOL. If you had a goat and cow basket, your woven menagerie would be complete.
I just don't have time to read posts, let alone do anything but tend and cut flowers, so I apologize for not being a better contributor. I read when I can, but that's not often enough. In January, I'll be done with dahlias and more active. |

I must go now, hope to get back with this computer tomorrow.
BTW, some of those baskets would look lovely with flowers and things in! |

Speaking of baskets...I was so inspired by this forum, thought I would try my hand at my very first "real flower" arrangement! Yes, Karma, no more faux arragements for me...
Its pretty simple, but I like simple...my favorite fresh flower arrangement is as many Casablanca Lilys as I can possibly get in one vase!
But as I have a mostly tropical garden I am going to see what I can come up with on a tropical theme.
This one is of course, Pampas Grass, bambusa and some sweet potatoe...
Wanted to cut the pampas grass today, before we get the big storm thats suppose to blow through here...keep your fingers crossed for us that its only "just a storm"
Cheers
Cath

Cath, those pampas plumes look so great in your arrangement. It's a beautiful arrangement in a beautiful basket in a beautiful room with a beautiful view. Oh yeah, and cool mosaic piece.
I will keep my fingers crossed y'all in Pass Christian as well as for us in New Orleans. Who knows how the levees are going to hold up. The governor of LA has already declared a state of emergency for us...esp with all the FEMA trailers still in use here. She also has loads of buses and emergency workers and the national guard on standby. Overkill? Or a lesson learned the hard way in Katrina? Well, hope it's not too bad. |

Cath, that is a great arrangement and fits perfectly in that location! I like your basket pot, and the foliage you have chosen complements the Pampass grass really well. Thankyou for joining in. Do you have any other baskets or containers to show us?
Poochella, sorry I won't be churning out arrangements at all for the time being.
Yardqueen, I like the second one best too! I have taken some pics of mine but have lost heart
not being able to show you anyway!
Maybe I should just count them!!
The weather has got colder here now and it feels like summer has gone. Not many flowers to see in the garden either. moan moan, ...no laptop..moaning still...moan moan...moan! |

Terri, don't lose heart. It's going to be a huge flower festival when we do get to see your pictures. You are too funny with all your moaning...I completely understand. That would drive me insane. We're still pretty warm over here.
Terri wants baskets, so I found one of mine. It's not unusual, but I thought both of my Curious Georges would make it more interesting?

Terri,
Thanks for the encouraging words on the arragement, it was fun!
Where in London do you live,
Visit once a year, love London, last there for Wimbledon and Tour de France.
All the bomb scares and security are a bit much though! Not such a jolly ol England any more!
What zone would London be? I heard its getting warmer all the time...like everywhere I guess.

Hi Karma, are you sure you didn't find that baby floating down the river in that basket?!!!!joke
he looks a happy lad,there used to be a tv show called Peyton place when I was a kid, it was from America. BTW, I think it is a very unusual basket! wish my dd would still fit into something that small!!
Cath, I don't know about zones, but I live in SE25, have you been to Kew gardens or any of the flower shows over here? I love tennis too and have been to Wimbledon before, in the days of Borg and Jimmy Conners!
Yardqueen, are you ok? how about making an arrangement in one of your baskets for us?
Don't worry when I get my pc working I will show you my baskets as promised.

Karma,
Your baby is soooo cute!!! When I was a teenager my Mom surprised everyone with a baby sister... When she was about 8 or 9 mo old, I sat her in a large round basket with side handles and took a picture looking down at her. It was so cute... I wish I had that picture...
Terri,
I am fine... or as good as I can be... I will see about that arrangement... I have some roses blooming and maybe a thing or two I could add. But again, most of my flowers right now are brugs... "Peyton Place" huh??? You are telling your age... LOL close to mine I guess. Depends on how old a child you were... |

YQ, I finally saw a brug in person at a nursery...gorgeous. They were 16.95...too much for me to risk killing it. I did purchase a datura for 3.00, but when I posted it on the datura forum, they told me it was a brug!!! How cool is that? |

Thank you for posting sokme of your baskets! I really love the roses in the little pots!!! And I like your wooden baskets too.
All,
How have ya'll been? I think of ya'll each time I see a flower in my yard that would be good for an arrangement. I just never have enough at one time to do anything with. Most of my blooms now are brugs!
I just remembered I did not post all of my baskets lasat time. Do ya'll want to see more? Or have I done too much already...LOL |

About the single flowers, it's always nice to see them in a sweet vase or container, but if you don't want to cut the lonely
flowers I understand completely!

Karma,
It has been so long since I bought the baskets I really don't know. I think the shell one you are referring to was given to me by mu mother. All of the baskets have just been
puchased here and there over the years... and a few were gifts. Some were my mothers and she was wanting to get rid of stuff. I always take most of what she is tryig to get rid of...LOL |

Geez, terri, how did you generate all these posts in just one day of your return? I must be soooooooooooooooo boring to talk to. Anyway, cool baskets all around. You're neck and neck, but Yardqueen has the lead. Better use YQ's fatigue to your advantage, Terri. Good luck. The winner wins a pumpkin arrangement. |

Potting some things from trades and that I recieved at an RU. Also repotting some things that needed larger pots. I potted for several hours. It puts a lot of stress on my back. I need to take something for it. I also skipped lunch and did not stop to get a drink or anything. I have now just drank 1/2 gallon of iced tea with my supper! I know you like coffee instead of hot tea, but do you drink iced tea? It is soooo good! With some lemon or especially lime! I've got to go get another glass! If I finsh that one that will make 3 qts!!! I am so thirsty! |

Iced tea? I can't say I have ever tried it, if it smells like hot tea I won't like it!
How do you make iced tea, boiling water and then let it cool down?

Actually I use an iced tea maker! LOL They are rather new and prior to that people brewed tea as for hot tea, only more as you usually make a pitcher of it. Lots of people add sugar while it is still hot so it will dissolve. But we quit using sugar years ago and we use sweet & low. If you are making one glass only I guess you would still make it stronger, as you will be pouring it over ice. you do have to let it cool, or you wont have any ice... LOL Squeeze a bit of lime juice into the glass, add sweetner if you are not using sugar. |

Hi Yardqueen,
Yes I saw your tea maker, I didn't know they existed! Somehow (not being a tea drinker) I don't think I will be putting that on my christmas list. ha!
Isn't that nice of Karma to make an arrangement for us? It's so good aswell. Great idea of yours to start this basket case thread, and look we even have a prize!
I agree it's far to early for chrimbo stuff, jingle bells and all that.
When is thanksgiving? we don't 'do' that over here.
Karma, please would you put the pumpkin arrangement in the cafe', it would be perfect for the main entrance, thanks!
I found another wicker thingy
