Jam jar flowers

would anyone like to join in this thread which is posting a photo every month (or whenever) of the flowers in your garden arranged in a jam jar? Everyone has a jam Jar!
i very rarely pick flowers from the garden for the house but I thought this season I would change that.
I will will go out to the garden soon and get mine just to start it off although i think it will be mainly foliage!

Sorry it isn't a jam jar! Choisya I broke off my plant 2 days ago (mea culpa!) now filling my living room with its scent.
Here is mine. Newly picked.
Hellebores, geum , viburnum judii brunnera polemonium euonymus elata epimedium.
Crikey hogweed, you have got a lot of plants out at the moment. I'm a bit nesh and am not going out into the cold to pick any more just yet.
Great idea. However, the tree peony is over and the wisteria has nearly all gone over and I have no inherited perennials for picking so I'll just keep ane eye for now and join in when I can.
Just had to go out and buy jam jars for mint jelly!
Lovely idea Hogweed
Forget me nots, vinca major, aquilegia, tulips, Narcissus 'Tresamble', bergenia, clematis alpina 'Willy', wallflowers cerinthe major, hellebore and allium triquetrum ... think that's all of them.
Sorry it's a bit blurry - took it on my phone.

Love the clematis Willy.
He is rather gorgeous
I'll get my camera out and try to get a better photo ...
