Happy Thanksgiving

I love to have fresh flowers and greenery on the Thanksgiving table. The challenge is to only use what I can find in my garden. This year, mainly because of our mild fall weather, I had plenty of flowers, but also plenty of fall color.

The only flowers in the arrangement are roses and asters. The greenery consists of nandina, scented geranium, ivy, holly andsmoke tree, then a generous helping of nandina berries.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
