Meadowlark Dried Flower Bouquet (1 bunch)

Meadowlark

1 Bouquet - Approx. 7 in diameter × 16 in tall

A June meadow at first light.

Golden yarrow, sun-struck strawflowers and round little billy balls set the tone here — the warm, unhurried yellow of a meadow just waking up. Around them, clouds of preserved baby's breath, winged ammobium and blush wild daisies keep things soft, while arching flax and rat-tail statice let the bouquet breathe. It is composed to feel found, not arranged — the kind of handful you'd gather on a morning walk and never quite manage to gather again.

Featured Botanicals
Yarrow 'Moonglow' — Pale-gold flat umbels; field-grown and naturally dried, it holds its color for years.
Strawflower (Helichrysum) — Papery, lacquer-bright petals — the classic everlasting.
Billy Balls (Craspedia) — Perfectly imperfect yellow spheres on wiry stems.
Ammobium — The "winged everlasting" — small white stars with golden centers.
Preserved baby's breath & flax — Airy texture and seed pods that catch the light.

Where the Flowers Come From
The yarrow in this piece was field-grown on regenerative acres along the Coast Fork of Oregon's Willamette River; the ammobium and rat-tail statice were hand-harvested and hung to dry — no dyes, no chemicals — on a small family homestead; the white statice comes from a family flower farm in Columbus, Ohio. The rest is curated from trusted specialty growers of dried and preserved botanicals.

Longevity & Care
These are lasting decorative pieces — delicate, made to be admired, not tended. Kept well, they hold their beauty for one to three years and often longer, mellowing into softer, antique tones. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from moisture (never add water); dust now and then with a soft brush or a cool hair dryer on its lowest setting.

Composed by hand in Aspen, Colorado in an edition of two. No two pieces are ever identical — the second bouquet is a sibling, not a copy.
