Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing my latest wildflower arrangement of the white lilacs I found when we took Lily, our chihuahua princess for a walk yesterday. We went to an empty lot beside the golf area. The wild bushes and grasses are now becoming tall and green. I found a white wild lilac bush that has so many clusters of those lovely and aromatic white lilac flowerettes. Since there were purple lilacs too, I also cut some to give contrast to my bouquet.
The pure white color is so amazing and if you look in the middle of each flowerette, there is a yellowish part called stigma ...must be that the lilac horticulturists were working so hard to get a white hybrid of the purple-colored types. But at any rate, the lovely scent are both the same for the white and purple ones.

Oh! lovely lilacs of purple and white,
You are dipping down through a mist of green;
For the morning sun's delight.
And the velvet bee, all belted with black,
Drinks deep of the wine which your flagons hold,
Clings close to your plumes while he fills his pack
With a load of burnished gold.
I used a flower vase that is a bit lower to showcase the bunch of flowerettes which was very unruly to arrange because most lilac clusters went on different directions... LOL. but I managed to hold everything with a florist´s wire so that a rounded bouquet was made.
I hope that this bouquet would give you a doze of inspiration for a new day!
