Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

In a Vase on Monday

It started with thoughts of camellias brought on by this thrift-store find vase. 


Joining the camellias are a couple of grape hyacinths and some Kerria japonica prunings.  


 Hastily assembled between garden tasks, it's not my best effort but will make me smile this week which is the idea behind the meme, In a Vase on Monday, hosted by the fabulous Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.  Click here to see more participating bloggers' vases.

Joining the vase this week are some ceramic eggs with grape hyacinths found on the sale table of a local nursery several years ago.

  1. When you added those Kerria I was a little unsure of your choice until I saw the white Camellia. Perfect!

  3. ooh, those ceramic eggs are a wonderful addition to the arrangemenyt - I love them, Peter! And surprisingly the camellia don't look as gaudy together as I thought they might - they look bright and cheerful instead. Thanks for sharing

  6. The ceramic eggs are wonderful. I think you also did a great job with the larger arrangement. I'm already envious of other people's Camellias as mine are now only just a memory.
