Colours of Provence

When John and Carol brought these wonderful purple tulips when they came for lunch (I made a raclette) last week I didn't immediately think of Provence...but when the yellow daffodils came out the arrangement was absolutely perfect for the colours of Provence...purple lavender, yellow mimosa, lemons, & sunflowers. I think it looks great on my little provencale table (Oak Bay Dump treasure courtesy of Chris). The Pacific West Coast meets the Mediterranean. Tulips are a perfect choice as our little village of Carqueiranne is famous for growing tulips...the village crest even has a tulip on it.
