  1. Lora this is one of the most fun and cheeful summer flower arrangements! I am so inspired and definitely want to borrow this idea in using the colorful citrus mix. You always come up with the most unique designs!

    So happy to hop with you! I hope you enjoy the rest of summer!

      Thanks, Amber! Love enjoying all the late summer garden bouquets!

  2. Wow! This is gorgeous, Lora–pinned! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!

  3. Thamk you for revealing HOW the slices are kept in that upright position! I wondered. And yes, I have put stuff in “safe places.” My favorite is putting extra Christmas Hershey kisses in the bean pot on top of the fridge and not finding them till Easter! That’s my favorite so far! I hate it when I’ve put clothes for grands in a safe place and don’t find them till they have outgrown them! That hurts my feelings!

      Well, finding chocolate is definitely a nice surprise, Kathy! And yes…I’ve found gifts I stashed and forgotten about, too:(

  4. Lora, using the different citrus colors to pair with you different colors and varieties of flowers was a great idea. I’ve never used a florist frog. I’ll have to look for one. Thanks and Pinned.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      You definitely should get a floral frog, Carol! They’re awesome with or without water and flowers!

  5. This looks so awesome! Such a wonderful idea that really captures the summer brightness and fun! Great job!

  7. What a great idea to use three different citrus varieties! I love how it looks and the colors coordinate beautifully with the flowers that you used from your yard.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Paula!I used what was in the frig;)

  8. Lora, I wish I had an abundance of flowers growing in my garden to use in a bouquet like you do! Gorgeous and sooo colorful!! I love how you’ve used all three fruits; the orange slices really make the bouquet. Perfect for summer and into fall… <3

    Enjoy your garden blooms,
    Hugs,
    Barb 🙂

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      I loving having lots of options to cut in the summertime, Katie! I’ve been adding the flowers I love to the yard for 18 years, plus annuals every year. You can never have enough flowers, I say:)
