We have had two days of rain, so I bought some bright & cheerful sunflowers to cure my spring fever.

I really like the way you've arranged your beautiful sunflowers with the twigs Gail.

What a lovely sight!  Thank you for sharing. I have to confess any colour but white looks good now.

Thanks for the compliments on my flowers. When I walk I collect twigs & branches to use in my arrangements. First I tried to use gypsophilia but it didn't look good, so I took it out.
