The weather in Seattle is supposed to get seriously rainy, after some very fine fall weather. The only thing to do is go out and cut all the open roses for bouquets, because they’ll only get destroyed. Bonus image below of the bouquets!

Cut the open roses in my garden ahead of the rain coming

And here are the bouquets they made, on my kitchen counter.

Garden roses smell so heavenly. These bouquets will go throughout the house.

The floral displays at the NWFGS might be my favorite part of the show—especially since they are in the lobby, with lots of natural light. Here’s a lovely bouquet, so subtle and Seattle in its use of green elements.

I know the left one is an orchid, and I think the other one is a kind of protea, but not sure. Anyone? At Seattle’s Northwest Flower & Garden show, on now. #NWFGS
