  Please post your cut flowers in  vases or jam jars or whatever here.  I will start us off with some hellebores I float in a dish, looking like waterlilies. Then I have a small vase with some tete a tete daffs and a few snowdrops and a couple of hellebores in.  My big daffs haven't got going yet, and the big bunch I  currently have came from a supermarket so I won't show them.
  

   Most of my vases I get from Charity shops. I now have a cupboard full.

  Lovely hellebores. I always forget how good they look floating in a pan and how long they can last that way.

  @ Valleys girl.
  

  You have one like my new seedlings, with a dark ring in the middle.  (top left hand in my bowl) Is it all deep red on the back?   I find the markings on hellebores fascinating.

  So do I but they only sell white flowered ones here and they want 20€ a pot!   I'm waiting for seeds to grow into colourful versions.

  Narcissus 'Tête Bouclé'. New discovery for me. I wouldn’t have thought double daffodils could be so charming.

  Just pruned osteospernum. Too nice to put in the compost just yet and they last such a long time in a vase. Valerie
