Bouquets with Personality
 In Bouquets with Personality, Lucinda divulges
her secrets:
The materials and tools she’s most
fond of using, her design influences, her theory
of color, and, most important, her insightful “psychology”
of the botanical realm. It’s that in-depth understanding
of how flowers and plants convey emotion that makes
this book such an informative and inspirational
resource for beginning flower-arrangers, seasoned
professionals, and anyone who just loves flowers.
Just as the roses and peonies in her garden are
fluffing out, Lucinda Rooney has to leave them.
She's off to teach workshops at Longwood Gardens
in Pennsylvania.
But to the delight of her bassett hound, Daisy,
she's soon home again, out in the garden
planting more beans or trellising the clematis.
It was 15 years ago that Lucinda not only
designed, but also helped build, her log house
in central Vermont. "My sanctuary," she calls
it, looking out over acres of surrounding
farmland and distant views of the Adirondack
Mountains to the west and the Green Mountains to
the east, where she grew up.
The pages are graced, throughout, by Mick Hales’
lovely photos of both individual flowers and completed
bouquets.

tells you the colors that it likes to be
with," says Lucinda Rooney, teacher of
gardening workshops in Pennsylvania and
keeper of her garden "sanctuary" in central
Vermont. Here, three clematis twine
compatibly with David Austin roses in a
small vintage vase.

containers collected on travels hold an
ever-changing display of cut, potted, and
dried arrangements.
