Free Flowers

Spent a chunk of the day arranging all these flowers into two good-sized arrangements for the gala tonight.
Marianna, my friend who is a real floral arranger, donated the flowers, but had no time to arrange them - instead she headed for the Grand Canyon. Not because of me, though.
She also gave me vases, foam blocks, a few tips, and there I was on my own. All went well until I overloaded the foam blocks, and they broke apart. So, I yanked the flowers out and stuffed them into the large vases, fussed a bit, and that was that.
Extra: here's one of the arrangements. You might not want to invite me to arrange flowers for your wedding or funeral.
