I love to be the receiving end of a bouquet of flowers anytime! And I dont mind giving a lovely one to anyone too for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to say...have a nice day! It doesn't have to be expensive, florist-bought bouquet. Just take a bunch of garden flowers and present it to someone who needs a cheering up, its so much more meaningful because it comes from your heart and your own home-grown flowers!
Today Im presenting you with a naturally created 'bouquet' of plants from my own garden...
In this urn, the lovely purple bloom of water hyacinth (Echhornia Crassipes) is grown together with the water orchids (Echinodorus Cordifolus Ovalis), and the strands of Chinese money plant (Epipremmum Aureum - variegated) stragically planted to make a cascading, trailing effect to soften the erect taller stems of the water orchids!
Thanks to Noelle of Ramblings From a Desert Garden where there's a bouquet for every month of the year to be displayed to make your day a lovely one!

How lovely! I'm just like you ... a bouquet of any sort is appreciated. Love the water hyacinth!
That's just lovely, I love the hyacinth. I try to grow some flowers in my garden for cutting and bringing inside, it really is a treat to have fresh flowers in the house.
I'm going to plant some more this year, you've inspired me!
Good idea. This is a pretty 'bouquet'. I like being on the receiving end for such a lovely planting.
Thank you for the 'bouquet' of plants, that's a fantastic idea.
I'll return you with a lot of morning light for a healthy growth of the plant.
I am always a fan of your water hyacinth.
Thank you Bernie, dont we all just love a lovely bouquet! I know I would, if I receive one bouquet of lovely flowers from your garden!
Ali, thank you. Even a lovely bouquet of beautiful foliage in the house, really brightens us and the house too!

Amboi p3chandan, very 'sui' (beautiful) leh! How come your water hyacinth is always flowering? They sure like your place so much. Mine RIP long time ago.
Beautiful bouquet. The water hyacinth is the one that really stands out in the bouquet.
Diana, Balisha, Carol thank you for the compliments.
Milka, One thank you.Milka I guess they like my garden, actually I dont fertilise them at all. They keep flowering every one or two weeks.
delightful!
Thank you Hazeltree.
Very pretty bouquet -- I don't think I've seen this done with water plants before.
Thanks Eliza, I didnt actually plan it to make a 'bouquet'. It started with the water orchids, then I threw in one bulb of water hyacinth since I have too many inside my pond,and later just stick it in a few strands of money plant.When water hyacinth blooms the purple flower looked very striking against the green foliage of the others, so I just snapped the photo! It turned out to be a lovely floral arrangement..:)
Thanks for the beautiful post from your garden. Being that it's winter here in Oregon, it made me smile thinking of the warm weather and pretty flowers! Thanks!
Thank you Holly for your compliment.Its not long before your garden will be blooming with beautiful flowers too!
