Lucky me! The flowers are blooming in such abundance that is a quick study to take my clippers, and circle the yard, snipping and snapping the stems of whatever takes my fancy. Plopped into a simple hyacinth vase, with a wiry bird standing guard, and voila, an IAVOM arrangement is born. These days are the best in my New Jersey gardens. We are in a bit of a drought, but with watchful watering, everything is still in bloom. I sure wish I could water as fast as I created the bouquet. It can be very time-consuming, but it’s so worth it. Thanks for Rambling in the Garden for hosting the challenge. Wishing all a flowery, lovely week.
The backdrop is a windowsill and sheer curtains; one of the best places to get the bright diffused light I need to make the bouquet shine. The flowers I used are: Mr. Lincoln Rose, Angel-Wing Begonia, a white Echinacea, white Yarrow, a sprig of Lady in Red Salvia, maroon Cosmos, and my favorite buttercream Nasturtiums.
Bright and colorful..The wire bird is nice too

Thanks so much. I love that crazy bird, but he is so light, and catches anything that goes by his perching places, it’s good he is wire…he hits the floor a lot.

The window setting is so lovely, and the balance of the red and yellow is very pleasant. I know what you mean about the time-consuming task of watering: We had almost no rain in May, after a very wet and warm April. And now we’re back to cool and just enough rain. I hope the summer conditions you desire for yourself and your garden will occur. Happy “vase day.”
