After weeks of delightful warm weather, spring arrived cold, damp, and gray. My spirits, however, are buoyed by the flowers showing and growing in the garden. It’s Monday and time once again for In a Vase on Monday, hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
This is our first good look at tulips, and I couldn’t resist just one more look at the camellias.
Please visit Cathy to see what she has in a vase from her garden this week.

Yes, the pale sugary shades are stunning – I hope the tulips do well for you this season and in future years, John

Sugary. I hadn’t thought of that. How appropriate. I will have to remember that word for the future. Thanks, Cathy.

Thank you, Susie. I wish I hadn’t lost the tag on the darker one. The lighter is ‘Angelique.’

I love the combination of pinks and purples, but tulips are always lovely whatever colour! I suspect the Camellia will be going over now, so bringing in some final blooms to enjoy is a must.

Those are happy combos for me as well. You are right about the camellias; the pink one is over but the white one still has a number of buds.
