Congratulations to Katherine and Jackson!
There’s a new garden rose in town and her name is Pink Expression. Excited to make her the star of the Ruby Awards this weekend!
And then there are the gardens…Impossible to capture on film. You just have to see it for yourself.
Repetition is one of the principles of floral design. Love these repeating paveed orange rose designs.
My moment of Zen at Bear Lake.
The “grand canyon” of Texas: Palo Duro Canyon just south of Amarillo is magnificent! It is the second largest canyon in the US after the Grand Canyon and you can drive to the canyon floor for hikes. If you are driving to Colorado via the Panhandle it is well worth a stop! But start early as it is 100 degrees by noon!
Portrait bouquet for October wedding. Love this delicate apricot and peach palette!
Celebrating Tequila Day with my friend for her birthday with El Caldero. How did they make that smoky bubble?! The surefire cure for 103 degree temps!
On a summer social media break for family time with this little rosebud 🌸
Hooray for the red, white and blue! I got an early fireworks show on the ground…Happy 4th of July!
If you are a hiker and a summer wildflower lover, you have known the frustration of not knowing if your favorite hike is in bloom yet for the season. The free app I discovered called inaturalist tracks where the flowers are blooming wherever you are and identifies them. You can explore your local area if your smart phone’s location setting is engaged, find flora and fauna observed by other naturalists in the area and upload images you take to share with others. My Tahoe wildflower hikes are documented under Wildflowerwhisperer so come on a high Sierra walk with me!
The Wildflower Whisperer has spotted 40 Sierra wildflower varieties in the past 2 weeks, thanks to a late snowfall and cool Spring. These are California Poppies, Spreading Phlox and Elephant Heads.
Catch of the day.! I can’t take any credit because I didn’t get up at 5:00 am to go out in 40 degree weather on the water 🙄….
Let them eat cake.

The details in this dreamy Garden District style rehearsal dinner at Brennan’s were to die for. From the custom made oyster shell linens, antique gold chargers, calligraphied oyster shell place tags, elegant menu cards and New Orleans style lanterns and garden district flowers, every detail worked together for a beautiful event! Kudos to Courtney for the table designs. Loved collaborating with you for a special client.

With a high temperature forecast of 86 for Houston today, it might as well be Spring. So here’s a 3 ft long tabletop garden designed for a bridal shower this weekend. Take the Pollinator Tour and see if you can find the bees 🐝
It’s time for a coffee break…a Cafe Latte to be exact. That is the name of the large mauve rose in this neutral to blush design. I am part of a focus group of designers asked to experiment with it and give our feedback to @mayeshwholesale on this rose variety. I think she plays well with her blush and wine colored friends. Let me know what you think about her! @mayeshhouston
