In a Vase on Monday: Sheer Pinks

The jewel-like colours of the dahlias were calling me today, but having featured ‘brights’ in recent vases I decided to go for more pastel shades instead. Although I started with cosmos (not as tall as some years, not a bad thing, and certainly bushy and reasonably floriferous, which they weren’t last year), cutting a few stems of each variety, they have largely disappeared amongst the other contents. Having discovered another Double Click variety, I have grown all four this year: DC Cranberries, Snow Puff, Rose Bonbon and Bicolor Rose, the latter being the newest one.

This beautiful pink cultivar of Philo is loved for deep green, heart-shaped foliage with bubblegum pink variegation. If you want to ensure the plant keeps its best color, then read everything about Pink Princess Philodendron Care in this informative article.

When I popped blooms into the test tubes of one of the stands we had for sale today at our open garden, it made me think straight away of ‘three little maids from school’. The original picking was of three different calendula – Indian Prince, Sunset Buff and Snow Princess – but the latter two were looking a little fraught after a day in the sun, so for my IAVOM contribution I replaced them with more Indian Princes, in a move that made me think of some oriental magic show, transforming Indian princes into schoolgirls (or maybe it is the other way round?). The schoolgirls are certainly of the undisciplined sort, refusing to stand up straight and smile for the camera.

The title of this post is more of an afterthought than anything else, but if you are wondering why I refer to golden arrows when the arrows are anything but golden, all will become clear in due course!

The clients that I was at both these mornings only need me for a half day at this time of year. Give it until next month and I’ll be back to full days. But that means I have the afternoons to myself. So after popping along to our local independent garden centre to buy 6 more bags of compost and running a few other errands, I was then home in time for lunch and the entire afternoon was spent in my garden doing all sorts.
