modern garden

I'm catching up on showing you all some past floral work - here are several arrangements that I did for Lauren Hall-Behrens. Lauren is the owner of Lily Villa Gardens, a fabulous landscape and garden design studio here in Portland. Lauren opened up her gorgeous garden for the Landscape Architects tour last spring and I was so honored to do some floral arrangements to accent this beautiful space. The garden has a modern and warm feeling even though it is attached to an Arts and Crafts home. Lauren used many chocolate, chartreuse green, and grey plantings so I wanted to pick up on that in the floral arrangements for the tables. I used Naranja roses, lamps ear, silver cone leucadendron, smoke bush, pincushion proteas, succulents, ladie's mantle, asclepias, green cockscomb, and chocolate eucalyptus.

Lauren's garden was the highlight of the show for me, and these arrangements perfectly reflect it's style! If you want to see pictures of her garden here is a post I did on the tour: http://dangergarden.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-from-anld-tour.html

Mmmmmm.....such wonderful little treasures I keep finding in your work, Pam! What I love about the West Coast is the bounty of seed pods, deep-toned branches (smoke bush!) and succulents of all things!!

Your use of material is beautiful...and your imagination ties it together so well!

Interesting use of silver cone leucadendron. Usually, an arrangement like this doesn't pull off real well. Yours are great.

I like the floral arrangements of this centerpiece. The use of different orange flowers is fantastic, it goes well with the greens around. Lovely piece of work.

This is very very appealing! I like the mix of flowers and the greens. I never heard of chocolate eucaliptus! Where can I find it? Do you know a site that sell seeds of the plant itself?

I just visited the creator of this fantastic floral mix, and I email it to my boss too as I think her creation could be perfect for our villas gardens, she really got talent !
