Big, bold holiday flower arrangements draw special attention from young and old.  Romantic theme of Valentine’s Day blooms as branches of quince bud into full flower in Marin County.

Holiday bouquets are part of Yukiko’s weekly series of five-footers (and larger) arrangements at Smith Ranch in San Rafael – every week for twelve years and counting.

Five footer arrangement in green and white is poised on staggered pedestals with Oriental lilies, orchids, roses, and seasonal branches with harakeke, and a vase of hydrangea – traditional design for the Smith Ranch.
