For those of us residing in the State of Penury, here is an excellent idea by Sarah of Blossom and Branch, via Design*Sponge. It's a definite upgrade from our parsley-in-a-creamer. This is Sarah's second post in a twice-a-month series, Flowers A-Z. Take a look, you might be surprised by the ingredients.That is from Julie's site today. I loved this idea so much that I scooped it up & placed over here. A relief from the gray & watery rumination chez nous.
I've looked on-line but not in the shops for prices per bunch/stem. I sniffed by them in the market in years past. My bad. It's very much bricolage in the French usage sense. Scent memories of cycling & walking past fields of decaying brassica on the outskirts of Strasbourg might have something to do with my aversion. I don't think that classy Design*Sponge would have anything on their site if that were the case. We shall see.

I have a jasmin hedge which i used to love the scent of. Sadly Jasmin flowers go "off". One year I had my washing hanging onthe line and the clothes all had a rotten jasmin smell. I find the smell of jasmin a bit "much" now...
I know what you mean about 'off' - that happens to certain narcissus as well...eek.
yes, the bouquet looks so gorgeous I can almost smell it!
I took an 'environmental' floral design workshop on the weekend and took away a few ideas, but it is great to see some more.
I like the metal container. Did you know in 'Western' traditional design that is often a no-no because it is seen to detract/overpower. I disagree! In traditional Ikanobo design metal containers are seen as an element in the design.
I ramble.
Oh my! How gorgeous!
