Globe amaranths and crepe myrtle seedheads grace this Roseville Pottery wall pocket.

This cicada wall pocket holds a stem of variegated figs, a snip of variegated kudzu, and yellow flowery senna (Senna corymbosa). Add water daily to keep everything fresh.

Flower lovers, take heart. If you're looking for obvious abundance in the garden right now, you may come up short. But don't go indoors just yet. While this month may appear lean on arranging options, you'll find ample supplies if you search with a creative eye. "Gather the things your garden has to offer, and then add a few more from the grocery store," says Ryan Gainey, noted Decatur, Georgia, garden designer.

Don't think elegance translates to difficult. From the walk in the garden to completion, these are all just 30-minute arrangements.
