This is stretching the definition of a windowsill arrangement (I had to extend the windowsill by putting a cutting board on the radiator!), but I couldn't resist because I had a new vase I wanted to use. You can't really see it too well in the photo, but it has a black base holding a glass container with a bamboo platform on top.  I wanted to use just zinnias in it the way I'd seen it used in the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden shop, but I didn't have enough, so I added some pink phlox, pink celosia, and blue ageratum, too. The zinnia in the foreground is really pretty--it's a paler, more lemony yellow than it looks in photo.
