Sudden warmth and a burst of blooms has made for more busy times with so much to do in the garden.
This new, (to me) Art Deco vase provided me with a fun hour or two deciding how to best display some of the new blooms. I ended up with three frogs but next time I will use florist’s invisible tape to crisscross the top. That is what I used in the second square pot, a little gift for a volunteer event. It is always fun to make an arrangement in a new vase and this one, which I acquired off Marketplace is one I love but is a bit of a challenge!
Both arrangements use similar mixtures of Hellebores, Grape Hyacinths, Muscari, Cushion Spurge Euphorbia polychroma, Catmint, Nepeta racemosa, Tulips, Lily of the Valley, Convallaria majalis, Leopard’s Bane, Doronicum orientale, Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’, Honesty, Lunaria,Lungwort, Pulmonaria, Lamb’s Ears, Stachys, byzantina and Honeysuckle, Lonicera for structure in the yellow boat.
Cushion Spurge is such a great plant for hardiness and extended interest in this climate. It is also a wonderful filler!
