In A Vase, Monday, February 17, 2025

Published by

Slim pickings! Actually, almost zero pickings as I am coming to the end of my forced bulbs! I don’t want to get repetitive with my Amaryllis, which are all about to bloom again or the Hyacinths which have been fantastic. The Grape Hyacinths are not quite ready and the Primula from the supermarket were never great with their production of flowers. Sooooo, a thimble full of joy it is! The thimble does not get used much anymore, so might as well add it to the flower vessels. Another enormous dump of snow over the last two days has left me desperate for warmer temperatures plus the mud and slush it will all bring!

Please head over to Cathy’s blog, ‘Rambling in the Garden’ where you will find real garden flowers and giant sized arrangements, well by comparison!

I believe Cathy just had an Open Garden Day. Here’s mine!!

    Small container with outsized impact. The thimble instantly reminded me of my grandmother. Sweet memory from your special vase.

      I am so pleased this created a good memory. I hoped it would create a smile or two. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

    Ten out of ten for trying to find something for a vase Jenny! 😃 The snow would be lovely if there is plenty of sunshine to go with it. We have had a rather grey spell for several weeks but finally the sun appeared yesterday. I hope the snow will all melt away really quickly for you this spring… mud is not good!

      I hoped the thimble would create a laugh or two! It is sunny today which is lovely, bright blue sky and lots of white but I can’t wait for the white part to go!!

    You weren’t kidding when you claimed to best Cathy with a truly teeny vase of flowers, Jenny! It’s a sweet and clever arrangement. Best wishes with the Freesias! They’re well-suited to my climate but getting them to bloom in yours is quite the achievement!

      Thanks Kris. I hoped it might create a laugh or two. The Freesia buds have not opened yet so fingers crossed!!

    I am so glad I didn’t miss this – it is just the sort of thing I have encouraged in today’s post! I am sure these little blooms have given you great pleasure. And I was thrilled to see your ‘open garden’ – proving what you have to contend with in your winters! 😂
