Illinois State Florists Convention

This was a student entry. Really cool. . . Nan called last night and it was so nice to hear from her. She asked me what is my favorite flower to use in arrangements. And the answer is so clear--any flower that grows in my yard. This morning I saw that Amy Stewart says the same thing. Her San Francisco Chronical article is at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/07/HOG58OEFLH1.DTL&hw=flowers&sn=003&sc=734. Of course, she lives in California and can have sweetpeas year-round. But I am going to try to have a second crop in the fall this year. That would be pretty cool too.
