IAVOM ~ Season's Greetings!

 

This week's little Monday vase celebrates Christmas as well as being a nod to the recent winter solstice. As we turn to the light there will be more and more flowers to pick so certainly a time to rejoice. In my vase are :

  • Cornus or dogwood 'Anny's Winter Orange' stems.
  • A couple of nameless violas.
  • A sprig or two of winter flowering jasmine whose Latin name eludes me just now.
  • A flower of the appropriately named galanthus or snowdrop 'Three Ships' - the flowers of which have certainly sailed in well on time this year.
The vase was hand painted by mum.

A big thank you as always to the lovely Cathy over at 'Rambling In The Garden', who entertains us each and every Monday, whatever the season and on special days too. Wishing Cathy and all my blogging friends a most Merry Christmas and happy gardening in the new year ❄️ ๐Ÿคถ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒฑ❤️

  3. It shows how precious winter colour is, and these little offerings made a big impact - especially in the little memory vase of yours. I bought Anny's Winter Orange after seeing yours, but it is probably too little to cut yet. Three Ships haven't sailed in here for a few years and I have been looking out for a replacement but have not seen any yet

    1. Thank you Anna. Spring still seems a long way off especially on a dull grey and wet day like today but isn't really so far away ๐Ÿ˜‚
