August 5, 2013 -- coxcomb in begonia wrap

"Coxcomb in begonia wrap" sounds like a menu item! I wrapped a begonia leaf around the lip of this vase because I wanted to cover up the threads at the top of the bottle. But the leaf  (which actually has its stem in water) turned out to me my favorite part of the arrangement! I tucked the tip of the leaf into the top of the bottle to hold it in place. 

Later I added another little vase of coxcomb flowers to some trumpet vine foliage leftover from last week.
