In a Vase on Monday: blue is the colour

Ammi majus, blue, blue enamel jug, Bupleurum rotundifolium, calendula officinalis Neon, cornflower black ball, in a vase on Monday, Larkspur

On Saturday I spotted a blue enamel jug for sale in Wendover. I did not need another vessel for flowers but the colour grabbed me and I gave it a home. 

To set off such a strong colour I have picked blue Cornflowers of course, and a dark purple/blue Larkspur to match. Then, so that it is not too  ‘matchy matchy’ I have added lime green Bupleurum rotundifolium and Calendula officinalis Neon. 

I could not leave out the pretty Ammi majus although to be honest it was not really fair to put her amongst the show off colours today. 

Cornflower Black Ball has done really well but it has been bashed to the ground by the heavy rain so I had to pick some of them too.

Cathy hosts the Monday vases and it is always wonderful to see what other contributors have found to display. Stop for a minute and take a look. 

In a Vase on Monday: cheers

Today’s Vase is actually a beer glass and the flowers are a pleasing selection, well pleasing to my eye, apologies if not to your taste. They are from my homegrown patch,  which was a large patch of bare soil just a few months ago, onto which I planted a few seeds.

There are Dahlia mignon and Arabian Night, Ammi majus, Verbena bonariensis and the lime green of Bupleurum rotundifolium. 


White perennial sweet pea, pretty but alas with no scent. Cornflowers Black Ball, Polka Dot Mix and just your regular, good old delightful cornflower. Jo, if you are reading, I hope you like them. 

Now pop over to Cathy and take a look at the other Monday vases. They will not disappoint.
