Ding dong the snow has gone and Monday started out with so much promise, mild and bright.  Alas the rain came later and my garden which was already resembling swill is now ankle-deep in water in places.  Trying not to dwell on the damage that this will be doing to some plants, I have collected a rare few flowers to show you and readers of Cathys blog today.  Do try to pop over to see her lovely blog, you will be amazed with what you see in some other vases.

Less ‘in a vase’, rather more ‘set out to dry’.

The forecast for the next few days, in my neck of the woods at least, is for rain and highs of 8 or 9 degrees, positively balmy after the last few days.  Hoping you have a good week. D.

In a vase Monday: Bank Holiday chaos

Aquilegia vulgaris, bank holiday monday, chaos, Geum Totally Tangerine, hellebore hybrid, in a vase on Monday, persicaria bistorta, scented tulips, Tulip Queen of the Night

Bank holidays always seem a bit chaotic to me: engineering works, early closing, late opening, feels like a Sunday but it’s a Monday. Today, so too, my vase is a bit chaotic. 

There are tulips and geums, hellebores and geraniums, persicarias and aquilegias. Flowers of early Spring mixed with early Summer perennials. 

The colours are a mixed up bunch, lime with purple, pinks and reds with shades of orange.


The living room is in chaos thanks to newspapers and revision folders, half done filing and stacks of garden cushions waiting to be aired. With no where suitable to photograph the vase, I resorted to a rather precarious hand held bunch of snaps.

The vase is an Irn-bru shade of glass, a bit weird but somehow in keeping with this motley crew. 

If you have a few minutes, pop over to Cathy to see her vase for today and enjoy looking at vases from around the world thanks to the immense popularity of this meme. Should you fancy joining in, do so and be sure to link back to Cathy. 

I hope you had a good weekend and enjoy the rest of your week.

On a Monday I try to find something from the garden to put in a vase.  This is in order to join Cathy and her meme at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com  Gardeners and bloggers from the UK and elsewhere share their pickings for us all to see.  As we come into Spring plants are beginning to pull away and the early Spring bulbs such as crocus and snowdrops are already over. I was to delighted to see that my geums have survived such a wet Winter and are now beginning to flower.

Enjoy your week.
