Thank you.. It is branches of a flowering cherry I think it is Sargento or something like that. Also included are a few spirea branches. Simple is all I can do. I just fill up a container until I get it looking like I want.

That is what we all do Veronica, I am no professional believe me- I just put them together in a vase until I see what I likel I thought that was spirea - you did a great job!

I do a few through the summer for my church. I will try to post them when I get more flowers. The first one I did it was in a pitcher just a medium sized one and it didn't show up much. Now I use a great big old jar and fill it full. Last year I had lots of iris and they showed up real pretty but I got mad at the sorry way they looked in late summer and pulled them out. They were in way too much sun. Now i only have a few Iris. The other day I got one of them back (a start) and silly me I put it behind my only large rock thinking it would shield it. Guess what a SW wind came along and it is leaning over . I'll probably move it a little when it warms back up. Chilly here today.

I really like the Siberian iris, not too many bearded iris here, but love to use the leaves in arrangements. Looking forward to what you come up with this year.
The roses croaked except one so this day I picked a few tulips and some forget me nots.

Pretty, you ladies know how to put stems in vases!
Candee, what is that pinkee/purple thing hanging down?

Bleeding heart dicentra. It is tulips, dicentra, and forget me nots!

Oh yeah, remember seeing pictures of them now, too hot for them here, i tried growing them once, they lasted a nano second.

Oh really, didn't know you can't have them there? They are really pretty.

God, that is so neat! My yard looks like a pig sty, I kid you not!
Glad somebody has a pretty one!

Really like that scene Candee. I planted the forget me not seed the first of this month. I hope I get some plants and seeds so they will reseed. I'm not sure what they look like but looks like they are small. Do you have any more garden pictures you should put them on the garden tour thread on the clematis cubit.

Thanks, weeds I doubt that a pigsty is a correct term! I like things organized part of my OCB!!!
Veronica thanks as well, I really wanted something different. I got the lobster pot at the bay and the shells in OC and on other travels and the coral on other travels as well. The treasure chest was an Ebay find as were the junk jewels. Then I spray painted some coins gold and tossed around! We made the parrots on the fence and Steve has since made me a beautiful adirondack chair for out there! http://cubits.org/handmade/thr...
I grow pineapples and vigna caracalla, passiflora and several other exotics out on that island!
This is one of the beautiful vigna blooms

B-utiful! Off to water but will be back later.

This is the whole plant!

Is that this year already? Mine are just getting going, some of them anyway.

That was last year, right now it is shooting out while sitting in my bedroom. Mine took a few years to really get going, but now, wow! It needs repotted but not sure if I will get to it this year now.

Do you grow lots of things in pots? Ever want any gingers etc, let me know, will send you some if mine ever come up. We had a cold winter and they are not peeking up yet.

Not much in pots here, just some things to decorate the deck tables and a few pots along the back of house within the lilacs, quince and such. I put the dahlia tubers in pots and bury halfway in the garden as that makes it easier to find and dig in the fall.

Do you mean like a quince tree that has fruit? i love quince!

Yes quince with the beautiful red flowers and quince fruit for jams!

Pretty!!!! Wish I had that!
