Calamagrostis x acutiflora Karl Foerster, coreopsis moonshine, Eupatorium Elin, ewes, frost, molinia Transparent, Stipa gigantea, Tuesday View

Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’ and Eupatorium ‘Elin’

Cold.  Minus six degrees. The ground is rock hard and the plants are showing a crust of white ice.  The sunrise cast a rather golden light.

Molinia ‘Transparent’, Stipa Gigantea and Coreopsis ‘Sunbeam’

I am enjoying the golden tones of the grasses and the backdrop form of the Horse Chestnut trees. This weather is I understand the coldest snap for six years. It looks rather beautiful but boy it is cold. My neighbours are sporting their thick woolly jumpers.

In a Vase on Monday: gatherings

coreopsis moonshine, Geranium 'Ann folkard', in a vase on Monday, lavender angustifolia Hidcote, mild Autumn, pelargonium sidoides, Verbena bonariensis, white and purple asters

I have left it late in the day to gather these flowers so photographing is under electric light. I think the colours have pictured true. 

Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com hosts our Monday vases. We collect from our gardens and bring them inside to enjoy. If you fancy sharing your pickings please remember to link back to Cathy’s blog.

So today there is, in no particular order, Coreopsis Moonshine, Geranium Ann Folkard, Pelargonium sidoides, Lavender Hidcote, Verbena bonariensis, purple and white Asters and shades of pink from Persicaria affinis.


In some ways it is an incredible selection in that there are some Summer flowers (lavender, geranium and pelargonium) mixed with the later flowering Coreopsis and asters. 

Thank you mild Autumn, long may you last.

In a Vase on Monday: ethereal

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.
