~Korean Feather Grass ~ In A Vase On Monday ~
Every guide to growing Korean Feather Grass Calamagrostis brachytricha says to plant it in full sun. For whatever reason, my plant is thriving in almost total shade!
Today’s arrangement includes Penstemon ‘Dark Towers’ and Red Twig Dogwood Cornus sericea for color and contrast, presented in a large clear vase to show off the dark purple foliage of the Penstemon.

~ Flowers, Nature, Friends, Family and Home ~ WPC: Relax ~
I am inclined to agree with Jane Austin on the subject of relaxing:
“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.”
At home listening to the water and birds in my backyard sanctuary.
Happy hour at home with Creighton and Jello
“Flowers . . . have a mysterious and subtle influence upon the feelings, not unlike some strains of music. They relax the tenseness of the mind. They dissolve its rigor.” Henry Ward Beecher
Cheers on a lovely sunny evening with Jocelyn at Priest Lake.
Flowers by a lake or stream — anywhere in a natural setting — sharing a nice glass of wine with friends and family — that’s my favorite way to relax. Lindy Le Coq

~ Red Twigs and Roses ~ In A Vase On Monday ~
Last spring I added three red osier dogwood shrubs to my front yard border. This is the time of year their beautiful red stems begin to show.

~ Thanksgiving Cactus ~ WPC: This Time of Year ~
Yes, I know the common name for this plant is Christmas Cactus — however — clearly the plant isn’t going to wait!
Schlumbergera
Every year, as the grey skies of late autumn/early winter descend upon my little corner of the world, this lovely plant provides a bit of brightness.

~ Skywatch Friday ~
Raining hard with no let up in sight here in the southwest corner of Washington State, USA — over two inches in the past twenty-four hours. Glad to have a warm fire and inside activities to keep my busy today!
This is a shot taken on a sunny day, when the clouds were beginning to roll in.

~ Stalwart Hydrangea ~ In A Vase On Monday ~
Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) still offers a bit of color in its blossoms.
Today I feature it in a vase that belonged to a dear girlfriend who recently passed. She was a gardener, and flower arranger par excellence.
