As winter approaches, I have to look more carefully to find beauty in my garden, and also for something to put in a vase! I wasn't sure how this one would turn out, but I think it nicely reflects the wild, rugged beauty of the landscape this time of year. The red leaves come from a Bridal Wreath spirea bush in the front yard. It has lovely fragrant white flowers in late spring, and I even found a few late blooms today! Thanks to Helen at Toronto Gardens for encouraging me to use mountain ash berries in my arrangement! Overhead view... Thanks for stopping by! You can see what others have found to put in a vase today at Rambling in the Garden. Have a great week!

What a beautiful fall garden of leaves and berries, and perfectly replicated in your vase. Lovely....

Lovely autumn in a vase - and the dark vase suits so well! I noticed my own spiraea's colour the other day, but never thought to use it in a vase! Thanks for sharing (and, like Jason, wish I had a mountain ash!)
