,I was able to pull together sedum ('Madrona'), the last of the fall anemones (most of the petals are gone), and lady's mantle, with some greenery from "pacific daisies", Solomon's seal, and the seed heads of my vitex tree. The latter was inspired by Belinda at Wild Acres who uses all sorts of non-flowers in her arrangements. The heavy rains we got this week didn't help either, since they beat down all of the tall flowers and damaged so many things - like the lady's mantle.
I had picked one stem of a different sedum - this one is 'Neon', I think - and had a couple pieces of lady's mantle left over, so I [literally] stuck them into
this little vase to keep next to my reading chair. (It looks like we live in a dungeon, but that's just the heavy cloud cover today. It's really a bright cheery room most of the time!) Imagine a glass of wine on that coaster, and my Kindle or a real book near by and you have my favorite reading spot!Hope you've had a great weekend -well, at least a restful one! And, go see what everyone else has blooming inside today. Start at Jane's.
Good morning Webb, thanks for posting from the dungeon!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed you have any bit of lady's mantle around at all.
Is yours in the shade or the sun?
come back and look at this post in December and you'll realize your garden is full of richness.

Oh wow Webb that arrangement looks gorgeous, really lovely mixture of soft colours and textures.Thanks for the kind mention too. Bxx
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet and that reading spot looks like a winner. Sinead
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful arrangement! And I love your reading nook. I don't mind the cloud cover today, makes it cozy. Bright sunshine here, no surprise.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty arrangement, I love the colours. Your reading nook looks cosy and looks to have a lovely view too. Love Linda x
ReplyDeleteSo much more than pulled together. Really lovely.
ReplyDeleteGosh, y'all, makes a girl blush. Maybe I am finally learning how to stick them in a bowl. Belinda is really helping me to see other things besides "just" blooms.
ReplyDeletehave a great week.
Okay...you know I am all over the glass of wine and book...a perfect combination:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty arrangement :-)
ReplyDeleteWebb, thanks for the lovely comment. About a boot sharing day! Dont get me started boots and handbags are my weakness! Sinead
ReplyDeleteHello Webb, Your arrangement is perfect, my sort of colours and love the added Sedum.. a plant I never really appreciated till recentely :) x
ReplyDeletep.s. I think it looks like an ideal reading spot x

I love your arrangement, Webb! Such a cozy reading spot too!
ReplyDeleteHi Webb, that little vase of pink makes your dungeon look most welcoming!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your bouquet of seasonal picks. Your mention of solomans seal has me wondering why mine has not popped up yet. I fear the dog and 8 months of builders boots tromping over it may just have been too much. I will have to investigate, because I just love it. Thanks for visiting my blog, and apologies for not repaying the compliment until now. It is nice to find you.

I agree with Amanda, that vase really brightens up the area and the blooms are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYou know how jealous I always am of your green thumb. I did finally go out today to prune and start getting things ready for winter. (Never mind that it was 85 degrees out!) Baby steps!
