SILKY PINK FLOYD and English garden roses anchor this Valentine’s Day arrangement, mingling with unabashedly feminine peonies, moody ranunculus, and dahlias in the palest, scallop shell blush. Early blooming green hellebore and purple parrot tulips add petal shape contrast to the bouquet, while wine hued scabiosa and celadon eucalyptus branches bring variation in scale and texture—the latter’s seed pods lending visual reference and transition to the hand painted shellfish plates.

Floral arrangement, William Yeoward green-rimmed porcelain cachepot, and blush pink twist tumblers available through M on the Square, 259 Market Square, Lake Forest, 847-604-4255.
