Casual Cut Flowers

Today, I went with my mom to the farmers' market in the neighborhood where I grew up. It's a great time of year for cut dahlias. Look at all the colors on display. I came home with the orange ones in the foreground.

Although this one stand had a great selection to choose from, there weren't too many flower and plant options. We need more flowers at farmers' markets! I think once you catch the bug for cut flowers and casual do-it-yourself arrangements, it translates into an interest in bedding plants and landscaping, too.
