Garden Club of Virginia Annual Rose Show

This morning I didn't know that I would be walking through rows and rows of some of the most beautiful roses I have ever seen. When driving into the Lewis Ginter parking lot, I was thrilled to see a sign for the rose show. The Ikebana Society of Richmond was having its monthly meeting and I was invited to attend. After their wonderful program, I walked to the Educational building and as soon as I walked in, the hallway was full of the scent of roses. Exquisite bouquets of various types roses were my first clue that what I was about to see would be stunning. The Garden Club of Virginia sponsored the event and provided the designs and rose specimens. I hope you enjoy the photos. Some of them had to be seen to be believed.

Creative Designs from Oasis

Oasis brand floral foam is a mainstay in the world of floral design. It comes in bricks, caged containers, or even in small round containers with adhesive backs that can be fixed to gifts, wall decor or anywhere you want.  Floral foam needs to be soaked for a minimum of fifteen minutes to absorb water all the way through, or a little longer for the very large bricks.

I went to the Oasis Design page on their website  and found a wide range of designs made with Oasis floral foam. Hope you have time to check out the website.  Inspiration abounds!!

so I'm taking them up on it.  Enjoy!
