In a Vase On Monday - Time for Some Winter Sparklers While Time Allows

Hey there, old man winter, the minutes are ticking away until spring. You've only got 50 days left.  The Northwest Flower and Garden Show Festival is only a week away and daylight hours are increasing every day causing winter blooms to burst forth.

Something old, something new.  The ornamental cabbage from fall is getting tall as it prepares to bolt as the hellebores begin to bloom.

Lonicera fragrantissima lives up to it's name as it pours forth lemony sweet fragrance.

Something borrowed- We're all living on borrowed time, right?  A metronome audibly ticks away along with a pocked watch that had belonged to my father.  The sparkly glass jewels remind us that time is precious. 

Something blue:  The vase looks a bit like an older Fenton piece.  The frilly edged top is obscured by the contents.  In reality, it's a really cheap vase I found at a discount store a few years ago. (Don't know where I was going with the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue but realized it fit today's offering.

Oh yes, the dangly star of the arrangement is Garrya that had to be cut so it didn't dangle in the faces of passersby.
