A Private Garden in Edinburgh

Floral inspiration is everywhere.  Whilst travelling this summer in Edinburgh, our family stayed at a lovely mews flat in the New Town area.  Upon playing with our son in the yard of the home, I noticed this lovely bush of Japanese Anemones in the garden.  I was taken by their crisp white delicate blooms and snapped a shot so that I could recreate them upon my return to my studio.  This was the first time I had ever encountered this beautiful flower in person. 

The Japanese Anemone are a nice alternative in arrangements with paler colours as their centers are a light olive green surrounded by white and yellow stamens.

The following are photos of the flowers I recreated in Italian crepe paper.  Now available for purchase in my shop.
