As the week begins it is always fun to join Cathy for In A Vase On Monday. This is an opportunity to share an arrangement using materials collected from the garden.
I am not around to post but I prepared a quick contribution and scheduled publication for today. Will catch up reading comments and admiring vases from other participants as soon as I can.
Hellebores began blooming hesitantly around Christmas, with only one or two flowers opening at a time. This one was rescued and photographed just before last week’s ice and snow storm.
The doughnut-shaped container is actually a glass tea light holder, a lovely hostess gift last year from a dear yoga friend.
The diminutive berries, identity unknown, came as filler in a store bouquet.
Materials
Helleborus x hybridus (Lenten rose)
Berries
Glass tea light holder
Thanks to Cathy at Rambling In The Garden for hosting and giving us a chance to express our flower arranging passion. Visit her to discover what she and others found this week in their winter gardens to place In A Vase On Monday.
I hope you’re somewhere nice and warm Susie; your Hellebore is lovely, such a delicate pink.
Your hellebores are earlier than ours, how lovely to have them to pick in January. I hope you are on holiday somewhere warm and lovely.
Aaaah, lovely. I don’t have an early hellebore in a pot this winter, and mine won’t appear for another couple of months in the ground, so it does my soul good to see this delicate one today, with that gorgeous hint of pale pink. 🙂
Pretty, almost looks like an apple blossom. Stay warm!
So beautiful and fragile!
Such a perfectly sweet little arrangement.
It’s a sweet little arrangement, Susie. I have my fingers crossed that one or more of my hellebores will pay a return visit this year.
Simply perfect….less is more.
So pretty, Susie, and very feminin, like, like, like xx
Totally love the simplicity. The last photo is awesome.
Such a gently coloured Hellebore.Very unusually soft.
Love the atmosphere the berries create with the hellebore. Very delicate and fresh.
