In A Vase On Monday – Standing Together
Each Monday Cathy at Rambling In The Garden invites us to share a vase of materials gathered from our gardens.
In A Vase On Monday – Standing Together
Blue containers, yellow flowers. I have no sunflowers to feature this morning but perhaps you will agree daffodils are appropriate.
Among the most democratic of flowers, daffodils are long-lasting, easy for everyone to grow, rewarding to pass-along. A great equalizer, this time of year nearly every house in North Carolina, large or small, shares a few bright yellow blooms with passersby.

The courageous flowers amaze us with their resilience. They are stalwarts, consoling us after a long winter, gladdening our hearts, filling us with optimism, giving notice of renewal. While they cannot bring peace they can symbolize a brighter way to lead and live.

Oh, this makes my heart sing! Lovely bouquets of sunshine. 🙂
Oh I’m glad, Eliza. Thank you.
Yellow is a magnificently joyous colour, and you are so right about daffodils. So pleased they grow well where you live in Carolina. The contrast with the blue is perfect.
Thanks Noelle. Daffodils seem to outlast the gardeners. I often see them growing along a roadside or under a tree where a home used to be.
Beautiful arrangement, lovely sentiment.
I appreciate that Tina. Thanks for reading.
You have both beautiful flowers and beautiful vases. You live in a sweet spot for gardening.
Thanks Judy. We do have a decent growing conditions here.
Your arrangement makes me heart sing, Susie, and yes, we should all stand together. Happy Monday!
I’m glad for your happy heart, Annette. Thanks.
Oh how lovely, Susie, and so many on bloom at the same time – they really do seem to mark a change in the season, don’t they? And blue is always the perfect fol for them too. What a bright start to the day – thank you!
Thanks Cathy. I shared the flowers with neighbors and kept the last few that hadn’t fit in the vases. Daffodils seem to set the stage for the spring show.
Good to be able to share them 👍
Gorgeous display….I love golden diffs in a deep blue vase.
Thank you Donna!
A beautiful testimonial, Susie. Hopefully, by the time the sunflowers bloom, the conflict in the Ukraine will have ended with peace and the retention of independence.
Let’s hope so Kris.
Well done and well said, Susie.
Thank you Amy. Have a good week.
A sentiment as beautiful as your arrangement.
Thanks Frank!
Well said, and beautiful. Praying for peace.
Thank you Beth.
That is quite a bit of yellow! I had to look at the flag of Ukraine because I could not remember that the yellow is below the blue. But of course, that would not have worked well in this situation.
No sunflowers here either. I had to improvise.
Sunflowers?
A spot on colour combination and a lovely thought … lets hope for some sunnier things, not just daffodils, in the world this week …
Yes, indeed. Thanks Cathy.
Beautiful flowers and message Susie. 😃 The world certainly needs more cheerful flowers this week.
Thanks Cathy. Flowers do help lift the spirit.
