Pretty in Pink

For variety, I included one peony in a bud vase, three garden roses in a hot-pink vase that looks like a tote bag, and a more elaborate nosegay consisting of the palest pink hyacinths surrounded by fluffy ranunculus. I put the nosegay in a lacquered vase for a mixture of textures and colors. An alternative to this simple grouping would be to combine all different varieties and shades of pink flowers into one arrangement. Don't be afraid to use a combination of the pinks from your garden. They will always work together.
