In a Vase on Monday: Quirky


Determined not to miss out on this week’s ‘In a Vase on Monday’, a meme hosted by Rambling in the Garden, I gathered plants in torrential rain. If you guys are not impressed by the arrangement (I’m not), I hope you are impressed by my tenacity, and I am awarded at least an E for effort. Mr Piglet thought I was mad wandering around the garden with secateurs as I searched for props, and he just shook his head when I appeared back indoors soaked through.

The Bromeliad stems were all floppy and refused to cooperate and stay where I placed them, but at least the nettles seemed enthusiastic, albeit vicious and rewarded my efforts with several stings.

I chose a rustic terracotta vase, which I thought was more consistent with the quirky plant selection.

  5. You are really taking IAVOM to heart and tackling it from all sorts of angles – I am very impressed (and would certainly give you more than an E for effort!! 😉)! I particularly like the way you have included nettles, as they seem to sum up the disheveled overall appearance of the vase. What will it be next week, I wonder…?

      1. I’m sorry about that! I’m afraid that WordPress and Blogspot don’t always get along. I had to open a WordPress account in order to comment on that platform after it stopped allowing me access without that. Blogspot is supposed to accept anonymous commentators but you’re not the first to experience a problem.
