My first bouquet of the season! Surprise lilies from the front yard, white and purple hydrangeas (I use coffee grounds right on top of the mulch to get the colored blossoms to go more and more blue as the season progresses), mint and zinnias. I’ve had a Japanese beetle issue on the leaves of the zinnias but the blooms seem to be ok. We don’t use pesticides on the property so I’ve been experimenting with some homemade deterrents (garlic powder mixed with olive oil worked great in some parts of the garden and was less successful in others.

Anyway! Surprised by how pretty this mix was so snapped a few photos to remind me down the road.
