In a Vase on Monday: blue

blue, cornflowers, I hope you see them x, in a vase on Monday, Larkspur

There is a friend out there (and you know who you are) who loves blue cornflowers. They were in her wedding bouquet I believe. I had been hoping to share these with her as the mild spell has generated a new bunch of flowers. 

The Larkspur has also given me a bonus couple of new flowers. 

How lovely to see these in the house in mid October. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing them. See what Cathy and the numerous in a Vase on Monday participants have shared with  Cathy today. 

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.
