July 31, 201---shifting hydrangeas

I should have saved the  "before" picture of this, because with both hydrangea blossoms in this container, the arrangement didn't work. Taking one out helped, and I like it laid to the side like this. Makes the photo more interesting. Also had to shift hosta leaves, holly fern leaves, and coneflower buds--sort of gathering them together in zones rather than scattering each material throughout the arrangement. This actually took more tweaking than I expected, because I thought I'd like these materials together no matter how they fell.
