A Melbourne vase on Monday

Cheating here a bit!  I haven't been able to pick anything to arrange in a vase for this Monday, but on Thursday last week I did pop my head into the most glorious florist shop, Pollon, on Flinders Lane in Melbourne city centre.   In the midst of many beautiful buckets of flowers there were these water lilies!  So here they are, in all their voluptuousness!

    Gosh, I have never heard of water lilies in a vase, but why not? I wonder how long they will last? Do let us know, as they really are gorgeous! I shall add a link to this post to your comment on mine

    Water lilies as cut flowers! I think I'm going to swoon, Amanda.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
