    I think those are gorgeous. I tried to grow them once. I wasn't very successful!

    very nice. We like to go to Williamsburg, VA and look at their Christmas decorations. Everything has to be made out of natural materials. Your arrangement would fit right in.

    What kind of flowers are those? They're beautiful. They look like cabbages and roses at the same time.

    Wow. Lots of color that must really stand out as the sky turns gray and the greenery fades. Here's My Saturday Snapshot

    What an interesting contrast of colors. If you'd told me to do it, I would have balked, but I like it!

    Are they real flowers? Silk?
    Either way-they are lovely.

    Thanks everyone for your sweet comments. These are all REAL, and the purple/pinkish centers are varieties of ornamental cabbage.

    I saw the arrangement outside of a local florist.

    Such a glorious colour. And the texture on the front one looks lovely and feathery.

    Ornamental cabbage! To me, these are magical, but I can't explain why.

    That's a clever idea for an arrangement. I like the contrast in colors. Now I'm wondering if those would survive the frost here in Chicago. Always looking for new garden ideas.
