In A Vase On Monday – Tulips and Daffodils

Every Monday Cathy at Rambling In The Garden encourages us to share a vase with materials gathered from our gardens.

On the last day of February a friend stopped by with a pot of tulips in bud. They’ve been a marvel. I resisted cutting them until recently, spurred on by wishing for a little something else to add to this set of pink-centered daffodils.

I had tried some pink daffodils a few times but last year finally established a grouping in the garden. This one came in a mixed bag so I’m not sure of its name.

This lovely double one is a perfect accompaniment for the single.

So I selected a few tulips to include in the vase. I like the pleasing way the colors blend.

Last week I had prepared a fresh vase of white daffodils, Narcissus ‘Thalia’, but didn’t manage to get them photographed in time to join other Monday vases, so I am sneaking them in today. Thalia are a particular favorite and I’m pleased to see their numbers increasing again after a few years of poor showing.

In A Vase On Monday – Easter Bouquet

Each Monday Cathy at Rambling In The Garden invites us to share a vase of materials gathered from our gardens. Monday here was gray and cold. Great quantities of much-needed rain fell from early morning until late afternoon and I spent the day cocooned under a quilt with a book.

So here it is Tuesday, sunny yet still chilly. Although a day late I prepared a vase and filled it with Easter hues. The flowers are not at their best after being battered about yesterday, but their colors sing the season.
