There is something spectacular to be said about monochromatic schemes, and while I’m not disciplined enough to maintaining myself, I’m always enraptured when I see them done well. There’s also a sense of calm and serenity to a scene that eases the eyes by using one or two colors, rather than utilizing the full spectrum in dramatic super-saturated intensity. Bouquets that focus on a single section of the color wheel offer a charm and elegance often missing from a cacophonous mix of every color available. As I get older, I find myself drawn to such simplicity.
I’m also a great admirer of the moonlight garden – those spaces that use only white flowers for a garden that exerts its magic most powerfully at dusk or dawn, when the white flowers act like little moons floating at ground level. That’s the vibe I got from this camp of white narcissus – serenity, tranquility, calm. A quiet nod of beauty in a world that grows louder and less serene by the day.
