Three vases on Monday

The sweet peas are looking and smelling delicious, so with no further ado here they are, in two vases this week.  In my third vase I have a couple of modest little beauties from my raised bed.  There is the adorable field pansy, and if you have never looked closely at the flower of rocket, the salad leaf, I include it here because it is extraordinarily intricate and I think it is very beautiful.

  2. I felt I could almost smell them too, Amanda. I have taken out my 'winter flowering' sweet peas so am looking forward to crop of my later ones. It is lovely to see yours in the meantime - and it is worth having your rocket go to seed so you can have their little flowers to admire!

  3. I love sweet peas and yours are gorgeous, while mine are long gone, being late winter/early spring flowers here. The rocket in the third vase is a nice touch.

  4. Goodness!I love it, especially the Arugula. I grow it here in the winter (and Pansies as well) I will have some in February. I love the Sweet Peas and wish I could inhale their fragrance over the Internet. Sigh.

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
