Sunflowers and Blackberries for Summer Decor

Sunflowers are my favorite flower.

I've tried to find a flower for summer decorating,

and I always come back to the sunflower.

I know some folks only decorate with them during the fall, but...

I think I've figured out how to summer-fy them...

add in Blackberries!

I also added in long blackish-purple flower sprigs

(that I can't remember the name of).

I LOVE berries, but buying enough of them

to put around everywhere can get pricey!

I wanted to bring out the mustard color in my

wallpaper border, and Sunflowers fit the bill.

Besides roosters, I have a new love for little white sheep.  

Although my main color scheme is jewel tone,

my border has a variety of lighter colors that I

can choose to bring out, like the pear / green apple color.

What flowers do you decorate with during the summer?

I'd love to hear your comments.
