In A Vase On Monday – Colors of February
Every Monday Cathy at Rambling In The Garden encourages us to share a vase with materials gathered from our gardens.
In A Vase On Monday – Colors of February
Our new year has continued to bring medical challenges with two recent hospital stays. It was nice to get my husband home last week and nice to find two Hippeastrums in bloom to greet us. What a welcome sight. A holiday gift from my sister Cindy, Hippeastrum ‘Cherry Blossom’ is just gorgeous. It has a second stalk beginning to open so it was an easy choice to cut this one for today’s vase.
Hippeastrum ‘Cherry Blossom’
My sister-in-law Melanie, visiting this week from out-of-state, arrived at our doorstep with a colorful bouquet of roses in pink, coral and lavender. With the addition of the special roses today’s arrangement feels suitable for an early Valentine’s Day celebration.

Beautiful arrangement.
Thanks Judy. The flowers have been cheerful support.
My first thought was, you have roses already! The arrangement is very cheery. I hope your husband is doing better.
Yes, I thought the same.
Thanks for your kind wishes Judy. I don’t grow many roses here so it it nice to have them for a change, even out of season.
such a happy vase to cheer you. I do hope all is on the up.
Indeed, the flowers have been sheer happiness. Things are stable this week so fingers crossed. Thanks.
Our thoughts are with you both, Susie – such tough times. The sisterly roses must have given you a boost and they make such a pretty addition to your welcome home hippeastrum. Those little lavender ones are especially cute and I hope the whole vase continues to bring you joy
Thanks so much for you good wishes Cathy. It has been hard the past few months, but we’re hopeful things are improving. Flowers as you know bring a lot of cheer.
Let’s hope for continued improvements, Susie
I am sorry to read about that; hospitalized twice within a month. That is not easy just once.
Thanks Tony. We’re hoping things are improving. Appreciate your concern.
A beautiful Valentine combination, Susie, perfect for the pending holiday. ❤️
Sending you both warm wishes and hope for better days. 🙏🏼
Thanks for your warm wishes Eliza. Really appreciate them. The flowers looked so much like Valentine’s flowers and colors I decided to indulge in a romantic arrangement.
I’m keeping you and your husband in my thoughts, Susie. The combination of the Amaryllis and the roses is beautiful.
The roses are gorgeous and go so well with the Hippeastrum – your relatives all have good taste when choosing gifts for you! I hope your husband is feeling better now he is home again. Good wishes to you both. 🤗
Thanks Cathy. It’s fun to receive floral gifts! Husband is feeling better. Thanks so much.
Good to be home after your trying times, and good that you felt strong enough to join in and show us your arrangement. Sending my best wishes.
Thanks Noelle. My husband was the patient but I was with him the entire time so it has been exhausting. Finally catching up this week. Appreciate your good wishes.
Oh, I like your February colors! And your arrangement. Thanks for the encouragement. 🙂
Beth, those colors really announce Valentine’s approach, don’t they? The flowers wouldn’t wait for the actual holiday. Hope you’re well. Always appreciate hearing from you.
