Marmalade jar to link to todays colours

Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com will be hosting a group of vases for Monday.  Today I have got my act into gear and managed to pick a few of the newly emerging flowers to join in.  I seem to have a number of shades of orange in the garden so I decided to use the old marmalade pot. The shot above includes the very strong orange from Sparaxis elegans

Tulip Queen of the Night, with Aquilegia vulgaris

The tulips are beginning to go over so to enjoy them I have picked the wonderfully dark ‘Queen of the Night’, and added the common but certainly not vulgar Aquilegias.  There is also a few dark purples from the Geranium phaeum and Astrantia.  The Astrantia ‘Rubra’ may be a smaller flowered than some of the astrantias and not as dark as ‘Hadspen Blood’ but I like it and know that it will flower pretty much until October.
