Today is the fourth anniversary of In a Vase on Monday, an invitation from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to share something beautiful from ones garden in a vase each Monday. It has been fun and challenging to post a vase each week and to visit Cathy’s site to see what others around the world are sharing.
This week I was able to collect several blossoms from ‘Our Linda’ Camellia sasanqua before our first November frost comes. Cathy’s challenge on this anniversary was to use an unconventional container. Alas, I learned that too late, but perhaps I could claim that an African violet pot qualifies as something unconventional.

Thank you John – and I shall pass on your best wishes to the Golfer. Sorry you did not pick up on the challenge in time to ut it into effect today – but anyway, let’s just agree that an African violet pot is not a vase and never has been! 😉 Love those camellias
