Cuttings

Last week's garden renderings - 

Beautiful for one day, and that's about it.

Poppies don't like being cut, frail fripperies that they are.

And snowballs are just messy, dropping petals and other bits.

The iris kept their pastel heads high and saved the day, still nice long after the poppies 

and the snowballs had crowded the kitchen garbage can.
