In a Vase on Monday – Florescence

“I must have flowers, always, and always.” ~ Claude Monet

In my small garden, we are reaching that time when containers will be finishing and I will be pulling these annuals. But before I do that, I decided to look where there was an abundance of flowers in the few perennials I have. The state or period of flourishing for flowers is called florescence.

The late blooming lavenders were a definite.

As well as the late blooming hydrangea. These are still coming on with new blooms showing up as the weather warms and the rains fall. Over 5 inches last week.

I cut a bunch of smaller-sized hydrangeas and tall flowering lavender.

As well as orange nasturtiums.

I love the fall look.

With this vase, I am joining in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at  Rambling in the Garden.

All the pictures shared in this post were taken with my Nikon Coolpix or iPhone camera, and manipulated on my iPhone using the apps, Pixlr and Prisma.

  1. Rain always seems to give a garden a boost (at least so long as it doesn’t come as part of a hurricane!). I’m glad you’re enjoying your fall flowers! I’m envious of the Hydrangeas.

  2. That quote of Monet really resonates with me … not heard it before. Your containers look as if they have been really abundant and you will no doubt be reluctant to empty them – will you be able to replant them with anything for the winter? Your vase looks really fresh despite the lateness of the season

  3. The nasturtiums add a nice pop of color! I love that hydrangeas dry so well for winter arrangements. Which reminds me, I have to get some fresh pickings soon before the frost browns them!

  4. That is a unique combination fo flowers Donna. I like it! The nasturtiums make it look autumnal, although I think of them as summer flowers.
