We played with various types of ecchevaria, jasmine, carnations, hyacinths, ranunculus, kangaroo paw, poppies, eucalyptus, dogwood, astrantia, muscari, fritillaria and a few other bits.

I still have to post the photos from the Spring Flowers 101 and today's Cherry class which was crazy town also...
