I have a large collection of vases of different shapes and sized picked up from various places but also use things like jam jars and a small glass olive oil bottle which makes a great vase for a single rose.
Alot of foliage comes from the garden but flowers are mainly from a cutting bed I have put in on the allotment. My garden is not huge and I like to keep the flowers from there, in situ.
Thank you star gaze lily Hope all ok at work today
I love my fence too which my poor oh had to build for me once I found design I loved It doesn't show in this pic but it steps up at the ends, I'll try and get a pic later to show you what I mean
Sford I'm with you on want to leave my flowers is situ so only pinch one at a time for indoors
Does anyone put lavender in vases? I found the water goes horrible really quickly, any tips?
Looks lovely Bizzie b. I have hydrangas, and I often have them in vases. You don't need many do you to make a nice display. Yours are a very pretty blue.
Love all your flower pics especially the hydrangea, I always think Ill pick some and then decide to leave them in the garden, I tend to spend most of my time in the conservatory in the summer and the doors open on to the back garden so can enjoy the flowers that way, I obviously pick the sweet peas and yesterday I cut back and moved a rose so I have the remaining blooms in a jug. I also have a bit of a jug fetish and have to stop myself buying them all the time as I wouldnt have anywhere to put them. This year my sweet peas have had quite short stems and I have been displaying them in wine glasses. Ill try and post some photos later.
Very jealous of your conservatory Yviestevie, I would love one but have funny back to house and it's not possible but working on ideas how I can do it all the time
Moved a rose in this heat! I have no idea where you get your energy from
The wine glass idea sounds really good, I might be a copy cat if you don't mind
I think star gaze too has jug fetish, we will have to start an jugs anonymous club
Thank you Star Gaze Lily and BeausMum, very kind of you.
I really love it in all its shades of blue. It was a bit of a shock to see the change from pink!
Had a pond extension last year and the edging stones went right up to the flower bed so it's the cement, or whatever, mixed in the soil which gave shades of soft pink, mauve and the blues.
It's been a staple plant in the garden for over sixteen years, a delight every year!
