It’s Monday so it must be time for In a Vase on Monday. For a change I’ve chosen mostly white flowers with a hint of pink and some beautiful scented foliage. The white flowers are:
- Cosmos,
- Sweet Peas
- Ammi majus
For me it’s not just about how the flowers look in the vase… I think all our senses should be involved. For touch and scent I’ve included some easy to grow foliage.
- Peppermint Geranium which has large velvety soft leaves.
- Variegated Applemint which has splashes of cream on the edges of it’s crinkled leaves. Both of them smell minty and delicious.
I’ve also included a few sprigs of Golden Oregano because it’s in flower now. The flowers are tiny but add a welcome touch of colour to my all white bunch. In bud they are deep magenta colour opening to pale pinky-lilac.
My ‘vase’ this week is a little wicker basket with a glass jam jar inside which fits nicely with my country garden theme I think.
In a Vase on Monday is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden every Monday. I hope you can join in with us.
Thanks for reading and I hope you are enjoying your garden this summer. Gillian 😎
