My Vase today, with material which could have been gathered last week, shows just how early roses in our gardens are in bloom this year. Maybe it is the bright clear sunshine: I am just accepting things just as they are for now, what else can we do?
Persicaria Red Dragon, a pass along from Cathy, forms a lovely contrast for the deep rich apricot of Rose Grace, and a few stems of 'barcode' grass: Phalaris arundinacea Picta previously known as Gardeners' Gaiters adds a bit of height.
Linking in to Cathy, the fairy Godmother of this weekly get together, where she is posting some beauties from her garden. Others too from around the globe join in.
Oh, lovely lovely, Noelle - your 'urn vase' is absolutely perfect for your three graces and the dragon, and the stripey grass sets them off perfectly. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteRoses! Lovely Grace. I love it with Phalaris, in the US it is called Gardeners Garters or Granny's Garters.
ReplyDeleteIts the same here, but I love the variations in the stripes on the leaves, just like the barcodes used for pricing items in shops. My little joke!
DeleteIt's a beautiful composition, Noelle! I love the elegant rose. My own 'Red Dragon' has been shy about making an appearance this year but I remain hopeful it will do so eventually.
ReplyDeleteThe title of your post could indeed be a fairy tale in the making 😄 What an apt name for such a gorgeous rose Noelle and the foliage of persicaria 'Red Dragon' makes a striking contrast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb rose! And beautifully complimented by the purple foliage of the persicaria. I'm finding it a bit frightening that my roses are flowering mid May - but, as you say, we just have to accept I guess.But you don't say anything about that perfect little watering can in gold?!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a little crystal watering can. It used to belong to my mother. It is tiny.
