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 Face on Monday

Thanks as always to the fabulous and dedicated Cathy at "Rambling in the Garden" for hosting the addictive meme In a Vase on Monday.  Click here to see her vase this week and to find links to those of other participating bloggers.

Last month, my blogging pal, Linda, wrote a post about my garden titled, "Let's Face it, Peter Has More Fun" in which she found many of the faces in my garden.  You can find that post here if you're interested.  It's true, I do have fun in my garden and, for some reason, I like faces of which there  are many at my place  both inside and out.  Today's vases faces are a Carlton Ware Harrods doorman cup and a vase by an unknown maker (because I forgot to look before I put the flowers in.)



Mr. Harrod's got a couple of tuberous begonias and some bamboo leaves. 

"Madam's hat, it would seem, will not fit through the doorway.  In addition, her  chapeau simply does not go with the rest of her ensemble. May I suggest  that madam either find a more suitable bonnet or consider shopping online?"   No wonder the poor lady is embarrassed.   Her headdress includes fuchsia, hydrangea, Clerodendrum bungei, and Anemone hupehensis all of which match her blushing cheeks.

  1. I love these kind of vases as you can tell from my blog header. And nothing is more fun than giving them hats and hair. I think she is not at all embarrassed; not with that riotous dress she is wearing.

  2. "Madam's hat" is rather fabulous, nicely balanced. That fuchsia is a perfect touch.

  6. I think the saying goes: "If you're having fun in your garden, you don't have enough bamboo" or something like that. You have more fun containers and garden art than most of us have plants I think. :)
