A late Monday afternoon after nice rain over the weekend, just in time for In a Vase on Monday. My Arranger calls this creation”A Little Bit of This and That.”
The “that” part is from Hydrangea ‘Endless Summer’ that has weathered the heavy rains well. Complementing the hydrangea blossoms are “this” Society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea), with a background of ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum sinense.
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see her lovely vase this week and that of the many followers of her meme.
All looking resplendent in the lovely blue vase, John – thank you both, for sharing

Your lovely blues, John. Congrats to the Arranger! Something struck me, though, when I was admiring her cool concoction – what kind of average rainfall do you get, chez vous? Your vases are always so lush looking.

We average from 3.5 to 4.5 inches per month. Sound nice, but I’ve had that much in a few hours, and gone weeks with nothing. I will take all I can.

The Hydrangea are such a wonderful blue I’m not sure they need any additions; but what you’ve (the arranger has) chosen work very well.

It is a “new” plant here. I learned about it at a garden show only two or three years ago.
