An Arrangement with Dyer's Grape

The summer is almost over, and my grandchildren will go to school soon after Labor Day. The breezy wind feels like Fall is in the air! The road side weeds, like the dyer's grape, is turning into a pretty color purple and bearing fruit. Surprisingly, it's a very tough plant and can stay fresh for quite some time after you pick them--a good material for Ikebana. I tried to use it with the same color toned Zinnia that I picked from the garden. Here is my arrangement.
