In a vase on Monday - Part One

The last of the little sweeties.  There are one or two buds left, which I am hoping will make it into November, but just in case they don't, these pretty girls can outshine autumn colour this week!
My IAVOM post is in two parts this week.  I hope you will visit my second post which follows close on the heels of this one!

    I can't get over the fact that you still have sweet peas, Amanda! As it's been very dry here, I've held off on sowing my sweet pea seeds for winter/early spring blooms but I hope to do that soon.

      Only just! There are one or two buds left today, after our most significant frost of the autumn last night. They have been a joy and I am already looking for and choosing which colours I am going to sow next year!

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.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
