I have found a new meme I want to subscribe to. It was started by Cathy at
Rambling in the Garden. I just discovered Cathy's
blog not long ago and I enjoy reading about what is going on in her garden since it is in a part of the world where I have rarely gone.
So this is what is in my vase this Monday. It just proves that despite our area being behind in precipitation right now there are a few things in bloom. This vase has more greenery than flowers though.
If you look around the edges of the picture you can see how the grass has gone dormant in the paths. I have a hose out to keep things up by the patio watered. The only other thing I have been watering are the few shrubs/trees I planted this spring and the potted plants of course.
I will show you how the vase looks sitting inside where it will reside until all is droopy and wan.
In the vase are fern fronds, Sea Oats, Hosta, Begonia and Turtlehead Blooms.
I hope you all are having a good Monday and you are able to put something In a Vase for yourself.
Lisa this is fabulous! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am sending you rain vibes. <3
You're a natural! I love to use Sea Oats in arrangements. I just planted them a couple of years ago, but they're great accent elements! I didn't realize you were droughty lately. I hope the rain we're getting now will head your way!
ReplyDeleteLovely display Lisa. I like the face you have used sea oats, very original.
ReplyDeleteThat should of course read fact, not face.....I am not awake yet and pressed the wrong key :)
ReplyDeleteLovely arrangement, Lisa! It certainly does look dry in your area; we've had a few storms lately to keep things from getting too brown. Hope some rain falls on you soon!
ReplyDeleteYour "patio vase" is gorgeous. I have never been good at arrangements; my Mom was a very talented florist. I really enjoy seeing your patio--so beautiful and green despite the lack of rain.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much blooming, although the asters and a goldenrod are beginning. I've been looking at my garden lately and thinking about what to plant in order to have more blossoms in August and September :-)
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely vase! The Turtlehead blooms are new to me, but look quite magnificent in that black vase. Enjoy your vase!
ReplyDeleteLovely vase of flowers to brighten a very grey day! Fingers crossed for some refreshing rain in your part of the world!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite memes even though I have not been contributing lately. After seeing the variegated Sea Oats in the hidden garden, I am thinking of putting them in my garden. Do you have trouble with them seeding around?
ReplyDeleteSea Oats and Turtlehead - unusual but great choices!

We've been lucky here our grass has not gone dormant so far. Yahoo! It's great that turtlehead blooms still. A super looking vase of flowers and greenery.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful..... Love what I can see of your garden, even though it is dry, it looks gorgeous
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet, Lisa! I'm popping back onto my blog today to check in on everyone! Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteSorry I missed this Lisa - I am usually quite careful to follow up every vase when it has been linked into the Monday vase meme. Thanks so much for joining in - you will enjoy the challenge,as there will always be something you can use regardless of whether it is flowers or foliage or something else :)
