One of the advantages to not having time this last Fall to do much garden clean up, is that now that Winter has arrived, there is a little texture and interest left behind in the spent flowers and seed heads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such is definitely the case with this skeletonized (well almost)<\/em> Hydrangea Blossom, that Willow shot in our Winter garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is just something about this photo that brings a calm to my soul. The soft muted colors. The grayish light in the background and the lacelike veining in pale browns on a creamy base.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the kinds of colors that not only look lovely and dreamlike on their own, but are also wonderful neutrals that would happily support any vibrant color that chose to be in their presence. Much like a gorgeous linen suit or a cozy pair of Uggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is for all these reasons, I chose this fading hydrangea blossom as inspiration for our next B-Series Recipe Palette.<\/span><\/p>\n
