While you've added one of my favourite colours, orange to the arrangement for July 15th, so far, the strong contrast between the colour of the clematis and the white and off-white of the other flowers as well as the variety of textures.
ReplyDeleteI think my own favorite so far is the one for July 2nd. I like that the flowers are roughly all the same shape and Gibson's Scarlet has an incredible colour. This clematis is still going strong in the garden.
