An ode to dahlia season.
I made this arrangement several years ago. It still speaks to me but I filter it through critical eyes that pick apart technique and ex*****on.
How I would make it again, would be completely different but I'm still posting it, and that's how I know I have grown.
Nature isn't perfect, and neither am I. A reminder to myself and perhaps you, that the journey is often more important than the destination.
We often tend to forget how far we have come when we are busy using bu****it metrics for measurement.
A garden is never truly finished, an arrangement can always be improved. It is in the messy learning and growing where true beauty and magick live. And that is far more interesting than perfection.
We are ever evolving.
