Further to my recent post referring to sunflowers, hydrangea paniculata and rudbeckia, I just wanted to add photos of the flower arrangement I made with the above plant materials. They really turned out well and have lasted a long time. I was surprised too on how well the sedum (Autumn Joy) stood up in the arrangement. Definitely a lovely addition to the “al fresco” dining experience we had with our guests from overseas. I have added further details regarding rudbeckias on my Mid Border Perennial Plant page.
