Hello Everyone,
Happy Monday to you all. Wandering round the garden deciding what to cut and bring indoors is becoming much more difficult. Wherever I looked today there were so many roses and clematis in bloom I felt spoiled for choice. So being a contrary Mary, and because of their fleeting beauty, I picked a bunch of wildflowers - a complete contrast to
last week's vase.
Can they still be called wildflowers when they are all grown in a garden. The red campion (
Silene dioica), and oxeye daisies (
Leucanthemum vulgare), come from the tiny wildflower patch and the lupins 'Gallery Blue', foxgloves (
Digitalis purpurea) and cranesbill (
Geranium × cantabrigiense 'Biokovo') are growing here and there in the borders. The whippy tendrils are from the Golden Hop
(Humulus Lupulus 'Aureus
').

As I do quite often, I put the vase on the brick wall before taking the photos. I find the light is better there. It didn't take long for this bee to discover the flowers ...
... well, he wasn't to know they weren't growing there.

In A Vase On Monday on Rambling in the Garden and joining with many others who share whatever they have found to put in a vase this week. If you have filled a vase today I'm sure you would be very welcome to join in too.

Hello Elizabeth, your display is just beautiful, I love wild flowers and these ones are so pretty. Your lovely vase does them justice. Hope you are well and had a good weekend, Kate x
Oh that cream foxglove is gorgeous, Elizabeth, and I always enjoy seeing the more delicate arrangements that usually come about from the wilder flowers - especially in your lovely vase, which we haven't seen for a while
What a variety of wildflowers you have! I have to plant plugs of foxgloves to get them to grow in my own garden - regrettably, they don't seed themselves here.
These are such gorgeous wildflowers! Beautiful colours, an absolute delight! xxx
Oh this is one lovely bunch Elizabeth, and I love it, esp the visiting bee 😊 how marvellous was that? .. and camera at the ready too.
Hugs Shaz.x
