In a Vase on Monday: This morning in my garden.

Posted on May 19, 2014 by johnvic8

Here I am with my second attempt to display what is growing in my garden by joining in with others for In a Vase on Monday.

This arrangement consists of blossoms plucked from my garden this morning: Allium christophii ‘Star of Persia,’ unidentified pink peony, Clematis ‘General Sikorski,’ Scabiosa columbaria ‘Butterfly Blue,’ Spirea ‘Anthony Waterer,’ Spirea bumalda ‘Goldmound,’ pink Knock Out roses, and Heuchera villosa ‘Circus.’

    I have enjoyed using Clematis in my vases, John, and look forward to having some of the larger ones to include later – I have GS but he is not ready to flower yet. I love the different selection of pinks, and using the heuchera flowers is such a good idea. Thanks for joining us again, John.

    Interesting that several folks have commented on including clematis in a vase. Confession: this is the first time I have done so.

    That Allium is spectacular in a vase and I’m envious of everyone who can grow peonies.
