I haven’t put a posy of garden flowers together for ‘in a vase on Monday’ for absolutely ages, so here is my first ‘today’s bouquet’ of the year.. With hellebore, hebe, rosemary and bay.
I faffed around for a while this morning, finding the right spot for this posy…
It’s an ice and roses Hellebore from our front garden, a Christmas gift from my mum and dad, that I planted out in January:

Doing The Plan 
Gorgeous, Jen! I so love hellebores — we have them in both front and back gardens, in various colours. They’re not fully up & out yet here, though — just buds crouching at ground level. We do have a couple of rosemary flowers, though. Gosh, i remember Prinknash pottery from the 70s! That lustrous glaze is lovely.
Brill talking to you two last evening! While finding our where to buy *Four Hedges*, i was swamped in pictures of Clare Leighton’s work — it’s really beautiful. I’ll deff buy a copy. Little Toller Press is interesting, too.
Loads of love to you both, M Xoxoxoxox

What a pristine white hellebore an the hebe and herb foliage set it off prettily, supported by the iconic Prinknash vase – such recognisable pottery! Your montage of photos is really effective
Hopefully see you again soon 👍

I love the way the Hebe foliage plays off the hellebore’s pristine petals. Do you know which Hebe it is? It reminds me of the ‘Purple Shamrock’ cultivar.

Is bay Laurus nobilis? That is what it looks like. Besides, I suspect that is what is grown as bay everywhere else. Ours is Umbellularia californica, which is a much larger tree. They grow wild here.
