Flowering in November

I don’t often join with Chloris at the Blooming Garden when she writes about her favourite 10 plants for each month; however I think it is a good exercise to understand what pleasures each month brings. 

In a Vase on Monday – Generous

As always Monday brings the opportunity to create a vase from flowers in our own gardens.  I am lucky that on this last Monday in October there is still plenty of choice for my vases and enough for bouquets to give as gifts.

Finding material from the garden to join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for her weekly challenge is becoming harder each week.  But I did find something  to add a little interest to the evergreen foliage of two weeks ago.

As is to be expected the production of cut flowers is in dramatic decline; I am beginning to look with more interest at the evergreen shrubs, fruits, berries and seed-heads to supply fresh material for my vases.

In a Vase on Monday – three years old

Happy Anniversary to In a Vase on Monday!  Cathy at Rambling in the garden started this meme as a prompt to herself to pick flowers from her garden to enjoy in the house.  Who would have imagined that this meme more than any other would change us all fundamentally.

What to put in a vase for Cathy at Rambling in the Garden‘s weekly challenge to find something in the garden to put in a vase to enjoy indoors?

In a vase on Tuesday

No, not a new meme!  But I have so many flowers that I thought I would see if it were possible to create a vase every day for a week.
