In a Vase, Monday June 3

Published by

Well, it is still cool and damp, a contrast to the last few years but a good thing as we need the moisture. The garden is consequently slow and pickings still limited now the bulbs are mostly over.

Eclectic

Honeysuckle, Lonicera

Buckeye Chestnut bloom, Aesculus

Cushion Spurge, Euphorbia polychroma

Euphorbic

What would I do without Euphorbia at this time of year! Little thrift store painted teapot.

    What a great assortment of arrangements – I love them all. As you say, the euphorbia is so useful and we can perhaps forgive its desire to spread itself around!

      Thank you Cathy and I’m loving Mondays! I love Cushion Spurge’s bright pop of colour during this in between party time! The other perennials are only just starting.

      Thank you and Thank you for keeping a butterfly diary. I worry when I don’t see these beautiful insects which are so important to our food web! Wasps can be villains sometimes!

        Yes, for sure…in the past I kept the caterpillars in the open on my porch until chrysalis stage. Now, I know better. They are vulnerable even on a porch.
