Welcome to my blog, today I am linking with-
In a Vase on Monday hosted by Cathy
Today's Flowers hosted by Denise
Macro Monday 2 hosted by Gemma and Mystical Magical Teacher
I Heart Macro hosted by Laura
Today I am rising to Cathy's In a Vase on Monday challenge to find plant material in my garden, so I went out in the rain to gather a few sprigs of Lonicera nitida and Vinca major variegata, and found a couple of rose hips from Dublin Bay, a beautiful climbing red rose. I combined them with a flower from one of my indoor Pelargonium geraniums in my favorite color that blooms all year. I also used my iridescent chicken dish and a vase I made.
The chicken is happy to be in the mystical spotlight-
The geranium is a delightful peach-
But the camera also likes to make it pinker-
It's hard to have flowers blooming outside all year but indoors is easier. I'm also making up for the fall/winter lull in the garden by planting little seeds under lights, I hope they will start sprouting soon. Are you planting anything or making plans for next year's garden? Hannah

Great post Hanna, I love your geranium and also the little chicken. I also enjoyed the Christmas Carol. Those young ladies have sweet voices. Thank you for sharing all, they certainly ended my day very nicely. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise, I like iridescent glass. I like that carol, my granddaughter is learning to play the song on keyboard.
DeleteWhat a nice combination of outdoor filler elements with indoor flowers! I love that color of the Geranium, too. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth, the little geranium is mavelously floriferous and stays fairly small, though the older ones do get slowly taller.
DeleteMy grandmother had a similar chicken glass dish - seeing it brought a wave of nostalgia! A nice compliment to your pretty arrangement.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eliza, I like the iridescence. At least I do have quite a few evergreen plants outside.;-)
DeletePeach and green go so well together in your vase, Hannah!Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anca, I'm jealous of those with beautiful flowers still in their gardens, but it's nice to have houseplants that bloom, regardless of weather.
DeleteHello Hannah, your geranium is a beautiful color. Lovely arrangement and post. Happy Tuesday, enjoy the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen, I love sunset colors, I painted my bathroom with them too. I'm happy I started more seeds today too!
DeleteHello Hannah, hello chicken. I love the stage setting, and the arrangement is all the richer...sorry no yolk implied! for the fact you have had to look hard and gather some house flowers to include. Watch out for my little but quite different chicken soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Noelle, your beautiful roses are similar in color to my geranium, so pretty. I found out why chicken coups have two doors- if they had four doors they would be called a chicken sedan.
DeleteLove this vase Hannah. I also have Pelargonium blooming indoors but mine is definitely pink...love to find a peachy colored one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna, aren't the pelargonium geraniums sweet for house plants!
DeleteI planted paperwhites as little gifts for my book club but my timing was off. Guess they will go into my next vase. Your whole vignette is charming.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ricki, I tried to force paperwhites much, but this little vase is actually a bulb-forcing vase.;-)
DeleteHAVEN'T tried.
DeleteDearest Hannah; Oh, GORGEOUS arrangement again, my friend. I LOVE the orange color this post has. Wonderful vase and beautiful pelargonium; your hand made iridescent chicken dish is awesome, I wonder if it is a pottery or glass work :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful week.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Thanks, dearest Miyako, the flower color is a favorite of mine. I even painted my bathroom with that color and cream color, sponged together. The chicken dish is iridescent glass, it has a bowl and a lid. I'm enjoying planting seeds, except that tonight I managed to spill the contents of the little glassine envelope on the floor when I was trying to pour the seeds out, and had to hunt for them, I found most and sowed them. I hope they do well.
Deletelovely colours and textures - I particularly like the addition of the seasonal rose hips.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, the rose hip color seems to go with the geraniums to me.
DeleteI have made a rack for my passion fruit plant.
ReplyDeleteOnce it starts to twin around, I shall expect to have passion fruits soon.
That sounds exciting, Rainfield. I grew passionfruit here but it is cold and it didn't manage to fruit. It did flower a few years.
DeleteBeautiful arrangement! I like the different shapes and colours of the leaves. The chicken dish is very pretty as well. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gunilla. Things are getting hectic preparing for my daughter to visit next week so I'm not blogging for a couple of weeks. Happy Holidays- Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and so forth!
DeleteHi Hannah, Happy New Year to you and your family.
