In a vase on Monday


A combination of slim pickings and gale force winds has resulted in today's meagre offering of Eucalyptus, Senecio and foliage from a shrub "borrowed" from a neighbour, perhaps begins with P?

    Even if it were just one single sprig or twig, it would be beautiful to look at. The variety in shapes, sizes and colours of foliage never ceases to amaze me.

    Foliage is as worthwhile as blooms so well done for making the most of your slim pickings. Enlarging your phot I think your neighbour's leaves may be Pittosporum, probably 'Tom Thumb'

    Well your storm pickings are most elegant and pleasing to the eye Linda. Foliage can be just as pleasing as flowers. I hope that your garden didn't suffer any serious damage from storm Dennis. Cathy has just taken the words out of my mouth regarding the identity of the shrub foliage 😄

    The Senecio leaves are rather classy...and then I thought the P was for 'pinched' rather than borrowed then I realised you were using P as a shorthand for Pittosporum. The textured background is just right for this arrangement too.

      I used P as the name escaped me. Thank you for reminding me!

    You've proven that a lovely arrangement is possible without a single flower.

    I hope the storm was kind to you. I've seen photos on Monty's Instagram account of lots of flooding, and it looks horrible. Do you have named storms like this every spring? We have named storms here that are in the fall and are usually hurricanes. Is this similar?
    I didn't know you could grow Eucalyptus there. It's something that we have to buy at the grocery store here in the states.
