This weekend I decided to make a flower crown with all of the wonderful ranunculus in bloom in the garden.  All the bright colors reminded me of a fiesta.

The anemones are still hanging in there despite the heat, but its exciting to see the roses are finally starting to bloom.  I also added some aliums, veronica, love in a mist, and eucalyptus.   I like basing my floral crown on this wire lined jute.  If it shows through the flowers, it look like branch/twigs and makes a really sturdy base that is quite comfortable.

All ready for the fiesta.
