Sadly, there were neither blue skies nor sunshine yesterday, when I created this vase, and if I had checked the forecast when I first got up I would have searched for and picked blooms, popped them in a vase and photographed them first thing, when it was at least dry. As it was, however, with other commitments later, I found myself dashing out in the rainy late afternoon to find something I could quickly cut and display and photograph.
In the above photo, you can see Narcissus ‘Grand Soleil d’Or’ (big golden sun) peeping out from a sea of sky-blue muscari in my little tradesman’s sample Bretby Pottery jug, an even smaller vase than last week at around 5″ (13cms) tall. To screen the sun, there is a little paper parasol in the form of a cocktail umbrella; here, a real umbrella would have been more appropriate.
If your weather is conducive to finding material in your garden to pop in a container of some sort and share it with us on IAMOV, then please do so by using the usual links.
