White Lotus This is the first year I'm growing lotus and I'm really enjoying it.🤍 I took this picture today.

This arrangement has only scabiosa and sunflowers in it. These flowers were from my friend Sarah. I wanted to see if I could make something using only those and I wanted it to be weird. It was fun! I rather like it! #floralportrait #bloomscrolling #florals #photography #structural
