This morning I was out on a walk with WI friends, along part of Strawberry way which is a cycle and walking path built along the old Cheddar Valley railway line. We were lucky enough to walk without rain, but here as Mr S and I were having lunch in the conservatory, it got darker and darker and then the heavens opened. Still feeling happy from my walk, I braved the rain and went out to pick a few cyclamen.
I tried to cajole the cyclamen coum into some of order but they were not playing ball, almost as if they resented being picked! The leaves are from various Cyclamen hederifolium and the little twiggy bits with tricolour leaves is one of my choice shrubs is Lophomyrtus x ralphii 'Little Star'. with its little green,white and pink leaves. I could have picked more of the special snowdrops, but I thought a change would be good. The Lophomyrtus twigs were actually cut back so that I could see the snowdrops growing close by.
The three little vases are fine porcelain which Mr S bought for me on one of our date day outings to Clevedon at one of the galleries there.
I am linking this Monday's Vase as usual to Cathy's post.
I am glad you escaped the downpour on your walk, Noelle, and thank you for braving it to pick the cyclamen and foliage for your delightful little trio of vases. What a nice gift from Mr S - do you have regular date days out?
