Up early today, so there’s time to share homegrown flowers in a vase on Monday…
There’s a little pink rose of some sort, white snapdragons and lady’s mantle.
The petals in the vase are from garden roses that flopped yesterday. In the five ish weeks since we arrived, the roses, snapdragons and lady’s mantle on the sunny bank have gone crazy with flowers. Many of my favourites are here: elderflower, lupin, geranium, honeysuckle and roses. Lots of lovely roses. The pink rose bush by the summer house is in the sunniest spot, producing beautiful blooms.
Here they were in their prime, a couple of days ago.
The little bronze jug was a gift from my mum, that she picked up in a charity shop.
I’d better crack on with the week – it looks set to be a busy one…
For more homegrown flowers in a vase on Monday, head over to Cathy’s blog, or check out the hashtag on Instagram.
And I hope that your plants and plans are coming along very nicely.

Love the snapdragons! D they survive the winter where you are?
Lovely bouquet combination and the rose is beautiful. Your bouquet looks so charming outside and makes me want to pull up a seat and relax there awhile. Very sweet and inviting!.
What a beautiful jug filled with pretty things.
It must be so exciting discovering what treasures are hidden in your new garden, and what a lovely result so far! Let’s hope there are many more
Is the elderflower that of a red elderberry? The trusses see to be more open and irregular rather than flat topped.
I guess time will tell! They remind me of the ones that grow in hedgerows, kinda shaggy looking.
I think they all look sort of shaggy in the wild. I have only seen the others in pictures though. We have only two species of blue elderberries here. There is a red elderberry higher up, but I would not know it if I saw it.
I love all your flowers! BEAUTIFUL photos, especially the snap dragons! – Diana 😀
I love the snaps. Sadly, they always succumb to rust very quickly here, no matter what precautions I take.
