The strange pink sun this morning has similar tones to the rose in bouquet #113, which I’m calling ‘Pink Sunshine.’
You should probably listen to this song by Fuzzbox, called Pink Sunshine, as it’s an appropriate soundtrack for today, and a fun hit from the 80s.
The peculiar pink sunshine is apparently due to dust in the air, whipped up by storm Ophelia, from desert sands and forest fires. My phone camera just about captured the unusual colour. 
The bouquet is in an amphora, Greek-style vase, and includes a passion flower, some honeysuckle, dogwood, verbena, russian vine, japanese anemone, cottage pinks, and a peachy pink rose.
(The rose is from a plant which I got, about 15 years ago at Woolworths, which probably has the highest ‘blooms per buck’ of any rose I ever bought.)
I added in a few rosehips and hawthorn berries to cram in a bit more autumnal colour, and as support for the passion flower.
I’ll share this with Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, as part of the in a vase on Monday garden meme, where people share what’s looking good in their gardens right now. It’ll also appear in the FromeBlooms.com image gallery, where you can see the other 112 bouquets I’ve made from our garden this year.
As always, I hope your plans and plants are coming along well, and that Storm Ophelia blows over quickly for you.
Doing The Plan 
The sun was really strange, wasn’t it? I didn’t think to take a photo though so I am pleased to have seen yours. There will be a lot of leaves around tomorrow but hopefully not too much damage around the country. what an interesting mix you have today – and how bizarre that your best flowering rose is the ancient Woolworths’ one

Honeysuckle! How cool! Our skies are sort of orangy from the fires in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. It is getting a bit clearer today.

I love both the flowers and their container. I hope Ophelia causes you no harm. Mother Nature seems to be throwing fits of different kinds all over. It’s fires here.

The sky is such amazing colours isn’t it. I love seeing sunsets and sun rises; everything changes colour so quickly.

Our weather, worldwide, is being very erratic. Hope Ophelia is kind to you! A beautiful bevy of flowers and what an interesting vase!

Wow! What a spectacular bunch of flowers. Passionflower steals the show, but the others are pretty amazing too. Thank you also for the blast from the past.
