Every June, gardeners all over New England fill a jar exactly like this one.
A classic glass mason jar holds a loose, gathered bouquet — ruffled blue and violet cornflowers mixed with a deeper magenta bloom, and a single blush-pink ranunculus leaning out over the rim. Slender green stems crisscross inside the jar, catching the light through the glass, while feathery leaves and a few pale buds fill out the arrangement. Melissa paints it in soft, layered washes against a clean white background, with her signature, "M. Hyatt," at the lower right.
This bouquet captures a very specific New England moment — the handful of weeks in June when cornflowers, ranunculus, and the season's first garden roses are all blooming at once. Cornflowers were once so common in grain fields that farmers considered them a sign of good luck, and their papery, star-shaped petals have made them a cutting-garden favorite ever since. Gathered loosely in an old glass jar, this is the kind of bouquet that shows up on a kitchen table, not a formal one.
June Blossoms pairs naturally with "Poppies" in Melissa's Floral Minis collection, blank inside, so it works as a gift enclosure, a quick note, or a stand-alone card for anyone who loves a garden bouquet.
