Sunny Hues

If you live in Marin Country like me, then chances are you are as sick of this rain as I am! Luckily you can beat cabin fever (yes, it is real!) with colorful florals. When deciding what flower recipe to teach at my floral workshop at Hotel Majestic tonight I could not help but think of sunny yellow hues. Sunflowers and roses mixed with textures like Bells of Ireland and solidago are the perfect way to bring a hint of the sun to any space.

Recipe

• 1/2 Ruscus

• 3 Sunflowers
