Monday vase for 19 November

As you read this I am en route to Australia!  I just had time to press 'publish' on this post before leaving for the airport at some ungodly hour this morning!  My vase today is just about the last of everything in the garden.  The geraniums are hanging on but the next hard frost will snaffle them, the rowan tree has shed all its leaves and left a lovely colourful pile on the grass below, there is one very dark Munstead Wood rose left, so dark it is almost black, and an equally intense petunia.  I found one or two other bits and pieces to pop into this vase, which was made by Devon potter, Colin Kellam.
Who knows what I might find to put in next Monday's vase!  Whatever it is, it will be a long way away from this week's offering.

  1. Oh I love Munstead Wood, one of my favourite roses - look at all those lovely ruffled petals! And complemented too by your other remaining bits and pieces - I guess there will be less of those when you come back :( Happy Travelling! Thanks for sharing

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.
