bouquets
Local flowers lessen our footprint:
California Bells hopes to highlight the joys of native plants, and increase their usage in bouquets.
Now is the time to think regeneratively! Let’s learn to love what grows and thrives here with very little help from us. Join the #slowflower movement and use fewer resources by purchasing and cultivating local flowers.
To support our philosophy, California Bells:
- Highlights coastal sage and chaparral plants
- Embraces unique looks and color combinations
- Grows our flowers locally
- Uses fauna-supportive gardening methods
- Adds no chemicals
- Waters only as needed
- Uses upcycled and recycled materials whenever possible
Enjoy the vibrant spring colors of the spreading gum plant (Grindelia stricta var. platyphylla) and California poppy (Eschscholzia californica).
Natives providing texture! Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), red-flowered buckwheat (Eriogonum grande var. rubescens), and coyote mint (Monardella villosa)
California’s own Seaside Daisy ‘White Lights’ (Erigeron glaucus) can be just as joyful as the more commonly encountered kind.
Solid contrast with the white/pink wands of island alum root (Heuchera Maxima) and the dense green/blue of Ceanothus ‘Yankee Point”
Adorable native wildflowers (bird’s eye gilia (Gilia tricolor) and baby blue eyes (Nemophilia menziesii)) here complement favorites like Spanish lavender.
Early summer bouquet with ‘Jelly Bean Gold’ Monkeyflower, Salvia ‘Pozo Blue,’ California Goldenrod (Solidago californica), and Lemonade Berry (Rhus integrifolia). Vase by Kelly McGuigan.
