QUICK SUMMER ARRANGEMENTS

Flowers are one of the simple joys of the season. If you don't haveyour owncutting garden, grab a cup of coffee and go early in the morning to your local farmers market for the best selection of bargain blooms. Summer picks include sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, gomphrenas, phlox, celosias, liatris, tithonias, and dalias. Create easy bouquets with one type of flower or the same color of several types. Echo the season casual side by using whatever's at hand for vases. Oversize glasses, vintage graniteware pitchers, colorful tin cans, and jars all work well.
