Aquilegia vulgaris, columbine, Geum "Mrs Bradshaw", in a vase on Monday, Sparaxis Astrantia Roma
Finally it is raining and even though our gardens really need it, I find myself thinking ‘yuck, enough already’. Wet dog, muddy veg plot equals unruly hair and dirty clothes. ( probably not smelling too great either).
My vase is full of little flowers today. 
Geum ‘Mrs Bradshaw’ looking a particularly luminous red in this grey, damp day light. Pink and dark purple Aquilegias
, pink Astrantia Roma and peachy petals of Spraxis.
The Spraxis are a mixture of peachy petals with yellow centres edged in black, 
or vivid orange petals with the same interior. The orange ones are the colour of traffic cones and I suppose that helps bring the pollinators in.
My thanks to daughter Dorris for lending me her pink jumper as a backdrop and to Cathy for hosting the Monday vase meme.
Have a good day. D.

Great things come in small parcels, its lovely Doris
Love the color of the jumper as a backdrop. Thank you for sharing.
Isn’t it interesting how nominally disparate colours go so well together? Your blooms blend surprisingly well, making for such a pretty vase. Does the vase have a gap in the centre (if you see what I mean) ie is it a kind of ring, or just an illusion.? How long is Daughter Dorris home for?
Such a happy posy and so prettily presented! Those colours are all so wonderful, especially the orange Spraxis… new to me and definitely worth hunting down I think. 🙂
It’s a lovely little vase and coordinates so well with the sweater. What a nice way to display your creation!
Thank you Kris. It was just a bit of fun.
