We have just returned from a warm Thanksgiving week with family in California. We discovered that we had a frost while we were gone, and most of the flowers in bloom in our garden were damaged beyond use for In a Vase this Monday. There were, fortunately, a few colorful survivors that have made it into a bowl this week.
I selected several ‘Our Linda’ and ‘Debutante’ camellias, Encore azaleas, a geranium, and even a ‘Clarence’ bearded iris to float in a bowl. Most of them were found in the interior of the plants or next to the warmer house. Those on the exterior were frost damaged.
Again I send thanks to Cathy for hosting this weekly meme. Please visit her at Rambling in the Garden to see what she and others are sharing in their vases this week.

Oh what a pretty photo, John, and the pastel colours are so unusual at this time of year, generally speaking that is. Thanks for sharing – and being presentable too!

Thanks, Susie. There are still a few brave flowers out there, but most are turning gray.
