Club members Judy Cathey, Marlee Price, Mary Cobb Stone and Sandy Strong, along with several other volunteers, created these stunning arrangements for a recent fundraising dinner. 90% of the blooms came from personal gardens with only chocolate Queen Ann's lace, white Asiatic lilies, white larkspur and caspia from the florist.
While our fields and roadsides are filled with the traditional white Queen Anne's lace, Chocolate Lace Flower, sometimes known as Pink Queen Anne's lace, is a cottage garden flower which produces stunning, tall umbels of lacy blooms in shades of earthy chocolate and maroon, soft dusky pinks and pale beige to off whites. Ladybugs love this plant. Delightful in the garden and superb as a cut flower, it is technically an ornamental wildflower and will bloom in 65 days from seed. To keep a constant supply, it is suggested succession sowing a new batch every two weeks or so. |
