At long last, Spring has come to the rugged North, and I have a few flowers to gather and share with you as I join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for IAVOM! You can see many beautiful flower arrangements from around the world today on her blog.  The vase is just a little tea cup and saucer given to my sister and me after we gave a concert at an antique store many years ago. I've had my eye on it for several weeks now, eagerly anticipating this moment! 
The main ingredient in this arrangement is Glory-of-the-snow. I absolutely love this little flower! There are several small clumps of it in my garden, and they get more beautiful with each year.  The little bits of foliage come from my Valerian plants. They are a very pretty dark red when they first emerge in the Spring.  The crocuses are just about finished, but there are still a few nice clumps here and there. They haven't been enjoying the heavy rains and wind we've had lately.  I hope you all have a beautiful week in your gardens...it has been a hard winter, but Spring is here at last! :)

What a beautiful vase in the tea cup...delicate early spring flowers for a delicate vase.....these same flowers finally died back here last week when temps went into the 80s and low 90s...very unseasonable but welcome for a short while. Glad spring has finally bloomed for you. Yes, a few hot days like that will do them in, unfortunately! Some of my tulips faded prematurely last year because we had a high of 90 one day with 30 mph winds! Our temperatures having been bouncing back and forth between hot and cold this month, but that's nothing unusual! Leave a Reply. |
