The Lenten roses are in full bloom finally and ready to join the candytuft in our vase this Monday.
Please join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, our host for this meme. See what she and others are sharing from their gardens this week.

These two go well together. Can’t believe how far ahead we are. The buds on my dogwood are starting to swell.

I agree Rahul – Johnvic8’s photos are as thoughtful as the wonderful floral arrangements. Is ‘in a vase for monday’ a personal challenge for your blog J.vic8? It’s beautiful looking through this category 🙂

Thank you, Michelle, for your comment. It is a challenge to fill a vase every Monday, particularly during the winter months. In 2016 I made a New Year’s Resolution to post a vase every Monday of the year. i’m happy to say that it may the only resolution I’ve kept in my life. I haven’t been able to do that this year.

Our hellebores are quite nice this year, and the candytuft is almost in full bloom. We are enjoying being part of your meme.

I have never grown Lenten Roses. I’m about to go out and pick the tallest daffodil that has worked it’s way up in a sunny protected area and force it’s bud to bloom. I’m hungry for spring. Your flowers are lovely.
