apothecary bottle, calamagrostis Karl Foerster, coreopsis moonshine, in a vase on Monday, Miscanthus sinensis, molinia Transparent, verbena bonariensis. sanguisorba candenensis
The garden has a number of different grasses and they are looking at their best presently. Using a few Calamagrostis Karl Foerster, Molinia Transparent and Miscanthus sinensis Flamingo I have added a stem of the creamy white, gently scented, Sanguisorba candenensis. Then the rather promiscuous Verbena bonariensis, I have seedlings all over the garden and finally the delightful palest yellow of Coreopsis Moonshine.
I do not anticipate that they will last much beyond Monday but no matter. 
It is a vase for Monday, a meme hosted by Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com
Have a good week.

Your vase is so airy and elegant Doris. Really proves that less is more, I love it.
Ahh thanks Christina
Lovely. Thanks, and you too. xx
The grasses are lovely and brilliant for creating an ethereal vase – I am enjoying seeing how the flower spikes of the grasses change into fluffy seed heads for the first time. I can see why you were disappointed that I turned down your offer of verbena with their generous seeding around (like my ferns) – I am hoping mine will too but they didn’t last year so I am not especially optimistic and perhaps should have said ‘yes’ after all… That white sanguisorbia is so pretty – I think I might try and find a spot for one of those ps hopefully will be posting a Dragon to you tomorow…
Dragon?
Red Dragon… persicaria 😉
Ps can always let you have some verbena
Would it be churlish to say yes now…? Well, yes, anyway!
I will pot some up for you
Thank you, and yes, I am sure it/they could be posted, as can the Dragon which is packed up and ready to go ☺
Could you pop me an email with your address
I wonder if I could post it?
I love the delicate feel to your arrangement, Dorris, gracefully done. C. ‘Moonshine’ is one of my favorites.
Thank you Eliza. Moonshine, It is a star.
Your title is perfect – such a beautiful arrangement Dorris! The coreopsis really does live up to its name. 🙂
The grass is perfect! I love the color of the coreopsis too.
Thanks Kris, it is a gentle yellow
Yes, ethereal is the mot juste! A beautiful combination of colours.
Thanks
What a delightfully light and airy arrangement, I like the pale coreopsis with the grasses. ‘Moonshine’ is a perfect name for it. Did you grow it from seed?
Hi Kate no I purchased it as s 9 cm pot from The Plant Specialist in Great Missenden. That is a nursery I think you would really enjoy. Take a look at their website
Wow, it looks fabulous – thanks for the tip. I shall be visiting it asap – they’ve a 30% sale on too.
Yes check dates though as they shut this month sometime. Happy to meet you there
Oh, what a splendid idea. Would either Saturday 22nd or 29th October suit you? Otherwise, maybe next spring when they reopen ….
I can do 29th. Name your time I will meet you there
Great! Would 11am be okay for you?
Perfect
This is a bewitching arrangement. Marvellous!
Too kind
