I love nasturtiums, roses and michealmas daisies, and popped down to the bottom of the garden to pick a few for a vase on Monday.
These flowers are late summer stars for the lazy gardener, they’re all fairly easy to grow and produce a generous quantity of flowers.
The pink roses are from the bottom of the garden, and are very pretty despite a little blackspot on the leaves. Nobody’s perfect.
The yellow nasturtiums are a delight – I love them and so do the bees.
The laurel foliage is from our neighbours hugely overgrown hedge, which may actually be pruned this weekend… Updates may follow. 🙂
The michelmas daisy will hopefully keep flowering until the first frosts. It has a pretty yellow centre, that the yellow nasturtium complements in the vase.
The vase itself was made in Japan, and purchased for £1.50 from a local charity shop. Bargain!
I’m happy with this little collection, and I’ll share with Cathy’s gang of floral fans, ‘In A vase on Monday.’ To see what else has been gathered to start the week, visit Cathy’s blog.
Doing The Plan 
The colours are so vibrant and seem to say…it is still Summer! I have started to use my Nasturtium leaves and flowers in mixed salads…pretty and delicious!

Gosh, your vase was indeed a bargain and a great shape for these favourites of yours – it looks so bright and summery despite it being mid September (really? still hard to believe it is!)

I love the nasturtiums with the variegated foliage.

Nasturtiums are SO rad! I know many of us would not admit to liking them. I have been growing them since I was a kid. My colleague down south refers to them as ‘dago pansies’.
