Inspiration in "Flower" magazine




Always one of my favorite reads, the July/August 2025 issue of Flower magazine came in the mail recently, and I immediately fell in love with those beautiful metal roses on the cover.


When I turned to the feature inside, I found that this is actually on a carved metal garden gate in Scotland, and in my mind, that makes yet another reason I need to go to Scotland. (I'm also thinking of taking some of my fictional characters on a road trip, and Scotland may end up being their destination.)


As I turned the pages of the magazine, I realized that another reason I enjoy Flower so much is that it always features lovely table settings, like this one. The outdoors is always a beautiful setting because of the beauty of God's creation as well as easy access to plants and flowers, which seem particularly appropriate on this table.


Also in this issue, I enjoyed reading about an artist whose hand-painted glasses are gorgeous additions to the table. These have an Asian flair to them, and what a dreamy table it would be to have glassware and tea wares featuring those pretty blue hues.


And have you ever had Kiwi Cheesecake? I haven't, but I love the floral garnish, and the recipe sure sounds tempting. (Also: I need a wicker cake stand!)


Finally, here's an idea for accenting your lemonade (or iced tea!) with massive flower arrangements in pitchers. It may be too hot to try to grow any flowers right now here in Georgia, but I sure enjoy reading about them.
