Charlotte Mueller, birthday girl, with basket of birthday cards and rose vase, a present from the club.

Garden clubbers rapt with attention.

Our speaker demonstrates using foxglove in a traditional arrangement.

What is it? This plant was passed around, to much puzzlement. Clue: take a sniff! The lady in blue is Sylvia Fulk and next to her, about to take the plant, is Mollie Jo Siegal.

Dutifully sniffing. It's cilantro! Mollie Jo Siegal and Charlotte Mueller.

He points out: a rule of thumb for the height of plants inside a vase is about 1 1/2 times the height of the vase.

Adding some orange color.

The young man to the right is the manager of the store.

Finished product! Note the hens and chicks' unusual blooms.

He added a bird and some live hens and chicks to this naturalistic and Asian-inspired arrangement.

A beautiful pink and white arrangement.
