Tablescapes, Birds of Paradise
Hurricane Barry chased me off the coast for a week or so, our area didn’t experience any effects except rain, but sincere prayers go out to everyone impacted by the terrible flooding and destruction that occurred and is still occurring…
One of the first things I like to do when I get back to the “city” is to see what’s happening at Trader Joe’s
A huge display of tropical flowers was hard to miss
And even harder to resist!
I tied orange sashes on the back of the chairs
And gathered tropical bright things from here and from there
Orange napkins compliment the Birds of Paradise
Altogether I thought it looked very nice
The flowers are gorgeous, they really do sing
Welcome to the tropics and the exotic feel that they bring!
The temps this week have had quite a tropical feel
Highs near 100 and the humidity is unreal!
I hope to soon return to the coast,
That’s the place I love to be most!
I hope you’re having a wonderful summer!
Juicy Details
I used pink alstromeria to fill in the tropical flower arrangement
I’m not able to source anything on the table, all the tableware are things I’ve had for a long time

Jenna, I love your tropical tablescape in the city setting, the flowers really do sing! I need to get to Trader Joe’s for some tropical flowers! Your rhymes always make me smile😊
what a great way to “cheery” up! Glad the hurricane missed you!
Tropical setting in the city and your rhymes make me happy!
Glad all is well at your house on the coast. Prayers for all!
A wonderful way to start the day: beautiful flowers, tablescape and happy rhymes! Stay inside with high temps and humidity! I’m glad Barry stayed away from you for the most part.
Thank you Rosie, I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
What a great way to brighten your city home.
The flowers brighten up the entire room, I need to paint them 🙂
Yes, I agree Barry is quite a concern for many people. My heart and prayers for all effected…Love bird of paradise, it’s my favorite flower. Nice welcome to come home. Very lovely.
I’ve never had any before, I am really enjoying them, thanks Linda!
Love the Bird of Paradise flower!! You are so good with color, Jenna! Love the orange and green together… gives it a tropical feel indeed! 🌺🍹 Happy you are safe! ❤️
Thanks Jill, I am loving the flowers! Unfortunately dreaded hurricane season has only just begun…
Sorry you are missing the coast, but so happy you created a bird of paradise “tablescape.” It brightened up a dark, rainy afternoon here in Georgia. Hope you are back to your happy place very soon–of course with some of your “babies” dropping by.
Aw, thank you Sheila! I’ve never had a tropical flower arrangement and it really does bring a tropical feel to the whole house!
So glad you and family are safe and well. Prayers for others dealing with Barry. Beautiful flowers and table setting. How very tropical and lovely. That pineapple drink / smoothie looks awesome also. Love pineapple. Hope you are able to get back to the coast soon. Enjoy the water!
thank you Cynthia! So sweet! I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed these flowers and they have lasted a long time!
Fabulous colors! The flowers would have inspired me too-enjoy:@)
They are sooo pretty, my new summer favorites!
What a joyful table, Jenna!
I love all of those tropical colors.
I must paint them!
Thanks, Jenna! 😊🌸
Always fun, paint on my friend! 🎨💗
Those are so dramatic, Jenna! They work perfectly!
Love them, thank you!!
Jenna, since you can’t be at the beach you certainly created the tropics in the city home. Perfect for this lovely space with all the light coming in the windows, I love this space. Beautiful colors, love the orange ties on the chairs. With this heat and humidity I feel like I’m in the tropics!
thank you Emily, I have really enjoyed these bright flowers! Our power went out for 3 hours the other morning and I thought it was really going to feel like the tropics inside my house, but luckily it came back on before things got hot! Stay cool 😅
Gorgeous blooms Jenna! I would so love to have a TJ’s near me.It is so blooming hot, humid and dry I’m afraid all the garden (and me!) is going shrivel up and die. Stay cool ♥
I know, I feel badly for those who don’t have a TJs near by but you don’t need one, you grow your own beautiful blooms!
Ooh! That is strikingly pretty, Jenna! Those flowers make the tablescape!
thanks Rita, yes they really do, I have enjoyed having them so much and they still look fresh after a week!
I love those orange plates with the green! What a beautiful contrast! Glad you guys were safe from the hurricane…I hate those things. Not sure what is worse…hurricane or tornado…they both do so much damage! Hugs!
I used to live in California, I’ll take hurricanes over earthquakes and fires any day! Thanks Benita!
Love the drama the tropical flowers bring! Your plates and linens are great accompaniments. I’m glad you went bold with color! The dragonfly rings are calling my name…
The flowers are so bold they didn’t need much to compliment them! Thanks Sandra, I got the napkin rings at Pier 1 a few years ago…
