In a Vase on Monday: A Walk on the Wild Side

I missed the vase on a Monday last week as it rained most of the day and was blowing a hoolie. Let’s just say it was one of those days you just wanted to snuggle up in front of the log fire with a good book and shut out the world.

As rain was forecast again today, I cheated and picked the flowers on Sunday. I confess they are not from my garden but from a deserted building plot nearby, where nature has worked its magic and carpeted the area with a fascinating array of wildflowers. Walking amongst the flowers on rough terrain, I was slightly (very) nervous that I did not disturb any sleeping snakes or other nasties.

Once home, I quickly got to work as the light was fading. I found a yellow ceramic jug that I thought would complement the colours of the wildflowers. The yellow pom pom flowers are from a Mimosa tree.

Once I was more-or-less happy with the wild informal arrangement I took photographs in various locations.

I like the idea of having a floral display on one of the outside tables. What do you think?
