While at Selby gardens this past weekend, they had an Asian Cultural Festival. One of the displays were these gorgeous flower arrangements.

The women that did these used various parts of plants, and other things, and all sorts of beautiful vases! It was really amazing! Enjoy!

What did you think??

After a long day, arguing politics with idiots, these were just the spirit pick me up I needed. Thank you for posting them.

This is beautiful art, indeed! I would never think of twisting vines and such to add to the colors and shapes the flowers offer. Creative and definitely original!

Wow! I am astounded by the elegant simplicity. I especially liked the one with the knotted leaves. I delivered flowers for a florist but I've never seen anything as beautiful as these.
Thanks. Now to go check out the pee wee trees.

These are so unique and inspiring! Thank you for sharing the tour with us! I am much appreciative!

Simple elegance.............it'll get you every time. These have so much more impact than a large multi-floral bouquet arrangement! (Gives me some great ideas, too!) Thanks, Holly.

My parents live on Siesta Key, and yet we have never been to Selby Gardens. We always think we will, and then it is too hot, or we get too busy. We had already decided that when we go down the end of this month, we were going to go this time. These pictures are really wonderful!
JoAnne D. Mar 1, 2008, 12:59pm EST
Things that make you say aaaaaahh, the vases add to the great arrangements.
Lou Anne L. Mar 11, 2008, 9:55am EDT
