Anywhere I am, if an arrangement of flowers catches my eye, I will take a picture — if I can. And since I choose purses with the size of my digital camera in mind, I often do take pictures. It kind of drives my husband a little crazy.

I found this little bitty flower arrangement and a partner — more about the partner later — at work, of all places, in the bathroom. Now, trust me, my work is not a fancy schmancy type of places that has fresh orchids and roses in the bathroom all the time. But I think there were a bunch of corporate executives at my station for some sort of meetings, hence the pretty-fication of our most heavily-trafficked bathroom.

Is there a grand lesson, or some kind of tip to be learned from these flowers? Not really. I ran into these arrangements last summer, I think, and I really liked them. They’re so small, but have such pretty flowers — those chartreuse green cymbidium orchids, the full yellow (almost golden) roses, in a itty bitty rectangular vase. I think I just wanted a moment to really look at them and revel in how nicely put together they were, in the delicacy of the flowers and how so little can actually go a long way.

Here’s its partner. I would bet that this partner arrangment uses a few more roses, fewer cymbidiums, but ah, it also uses a yellow-golden mini calla lily.

I confess, I nearly tried to tuck one of these arrangments into my lunch bag. But I don’t do stuff like that. *wink* No, I just take pictures. Kudos to the florist who put together these perfect little arrangements together.
