A friend couldn't pick up her local farmshare today, so she gave it to me instead, and it involved pick-your-own flowers! I have no idea what those gorgeous red things are. And I had fat, happy bees bumbling over to ride around on the bouquet while I was carrying it.
A bouquet of lovely, vibrant, freshly-cut flowers, all orange and red and pink and yellow. I don't know what any of them are. They're just pretty.
