I’m attempting to have flowers on my kitchen table every day, especially in the summer months when my garden is bursting at the seams with colorful blossoms. This plan will fulfill two goals, and I will also create a vase for In A Vase on Monday. (IAVOM) This challenge is hosted by the Ramblings in the Garden Blog.
When I gazed out the window this morning, the coral petals of two roses grabbed my attention. They would perfectly match the lilies blooming in another garden bed. I added white Snapdragons and some cream-colored Echinacea to the bouquet.
The vase looked so pretty in the guest room I almost felt guilty moving it to the kitchen.
Beautiful

Yes, since I started IAVOM it would seem strange not to have a vase in the kitchen all the time! Your rose picks out the centre of the lilies and the antirrhinum softens the brightness of both – you will certainly enjoy looking at this in person!

It does mirror the colors. The lily is called Montego Bay. I meant to add that but forgot. I don’t know all the names of the lilies I grow, but I bought this one not only for the look of it, but also because we have vacationed in Montego Bay. It is lovely and smells good too.

Love those corals…

They are so pretty…sometimes hard to combine though, so I was glad for the whites and creams to add in.

The lily and the coral rose make a delightful combination. I wholly agree about the value of having flowers at the breakfast table!

It does start the day out nice, and gives a sense that not everything is wrong in our world.

Pretty flowers, I would have flowers around here if I could grow them myself which I can’t for many reasons like I am too damn lazy to garden, and I have not green thumbs but black ones as in things tend to die under my care

The lilies are very easy…no green thumb needed. I buy them in packs at the grocery store, plop them in the ground and every year they reward me for my minimal efforts. They don’t last very long, but no matter, while they do they delight me. I plant more every year.

Gorgeous colors in both the lilies and roses (that is a lovely shade of coral).
This is the time of year to fill the entire house with flowers– go for it!

It’s a pretty arrangement. The lilies are lovely but the coral rose is quite the star.

Yes, just peeking out a bit. It was what drew my eyes to the coral for the vase. It gleamed when I gazed out the back window.

Thanks, I use the vase on the table because it has a wide bottom, is shorter than average, and stays put even when knocked about a bit. A perfect kitchen table vase.

So gorgeous. I love lilies and roses – wayyy too far south for them, so I really appreciate yours from afar.
