In A Vase On Monday – Celebrating Six
I am late, late joining the party this week, but wanted to acknowledge a milestone. For six years Cathy at Rambling In The Garden has been hosting In A Vase On Monday, encouraging us to share a vase highlighting what is growing in our gardens. Since she started this I have looked forward to Mondays as never before.
In celebration of the sixth anniversary this week, Cathy posed a challenge to create a miniature arrangement, no more than 6″ (15cms) in each dimension. I tucked Erysimum into a tiny white oval ceramic vase and Dianthus and Antirrhinum into a heavy glass purple dish for a simple presentation.
Happy Anniversary Cathy and thank you!

Beautiful!! 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks Bernice!
I like the color of the Wallflowers!
I like the color too. Named Red but rusty orange in there too.
You bring beauty to your vases on any scale
You’re so sweet. Thank you Ricki!
Worth waiting for, Susie!
Hey, thanks Kris!
A very stylish arrangement, Susie, I absolutely agree with Rickii! The Erysium looks rather delicious and I wonder if the dianthus is scented? Happy November days 🙂
That dianthus is disappointing in the olfactory department. Huge blooms but no fragrance I can detect. A shame now that you mention it.
The small vases are very sweet. I had to stop and think when I saw Monday in the title.
I find it hard to be tied to the calendar these days, but really wanted to participate in the anniversary celebration.
I love the color of your Wallflowers, Susie – they’re perfect for autumn. A pretty set!
Hope it isn’t too cold down where you are. It was 13 this morning when I got up and the wind is brutal. I am NOT ready for this… I want to follow the Vs of geese south!
Thanks Eliza. The wallflower is named red but has a burnt orange quality I love. We had sleet yesterday briefly, mostly rain. Then it was 23F this morning. Still better than 13! Those geese have the right idea.
Simply lovely and I wish I could catch the scent of the Dianthus. Are Wallflowers a new thing in NC? I don’t recall them in Atlanta.
Disappointingly the dianthus is not fragrant that I can detect. This one boasts the largest flowers of any dianthus. It is pretty but the scent was sacrificed.
Oh.. pretty but disappointing? The fragrance is something I love about Dianthus.
Lovely as always, Susie, and the colour of the wallflowers is really striking against the white ceramic. I am so pleased that you chose to rise to the challenge, Susie, and am sorry that your time is still not your own
I bought those two little vases several years ago for a garden club show that for some reason I didn’t participate in after all. Nice opportunity to break them in.
Simple and elegant Susie. 🙂 Your white flowers still look fresh as a daisy.
Thanks. The white dianthus continues to open fresh flowers in the vase.
Love that white Dianthus.
Supposedly the largest dianthus flower on the market. But not fragrant.
Very pretty. I love the white dianthus.
Wallflowers certainly are colorful noways. I don’t remember them like that in the 1990s.
I’ve heard of “being a wallflower” but only have seen and grown them in the last couple years, so I don’t know how different the colors all. I like the deep red.
They were a brief fad in the late 1980s, but only bloomed in mauve. I don’t know why. Other colors were popular many years prior. Yellow and gold became available prior to 1990. They did not change much until just the past few years.
