Rainbow In a Vase on Monday

If you are on social media at all you might have notices rainbows everywhere as well as all the lovely pictures people are displaying in their windows. 
Here is my version of the rainbow with respect for all the NHS workers putting themselves are risk for us. 

I bought this funny little vase over a year ago but have not used it much. It seemed perfect for this idea tho does always look as though it's falling over. 
I was impressed that I was able to find all these colours, some of them are small but it is all coming on in the garden with more coming out each day. 


Included are anemone, wallflower, tulip, narcissus, euphorbia, parsley, vinca, comfrey, hyacinth, aubretia, forget me not and muscari.

 It makes me smile every time I see it which is surely the point of why we do this. 
Hoping you are all well and finding plenty to do in your gardens. 

 Join in with Cathy at Rambling in the Garden and share your Vase on Monday.

    That is definitely a good way to use this vase, Alison, as I have hankered after one like this but suspect when it comes to it it as not as easy to use as one might think! Lovely to see those reds!

      No, not very useful really. Usually it just sits on a shelf looking pretty but now I've done this I'll do it again.

    I saw this first on your Instagram post. I love it, Alison! I'm looking for rainbows out my window now, figuratively and literally - it's raining here today.

    What a lovely colourful display.... and I have exactly the same vase! A friend gave it to me a couple of years ago. I must get it down from the shelf and do something with it now the small spring flowers are coming out. �� Thanks for sharing!

    A lovely floral tribute to our NHS workers Alison. I was thinking that I would struggle to find any red flowers in the garden at the moment then remembered that I have the red and white dicentra 'Valentine'.

    How about sending a picture of this to Shepton Mallett Hospital? This really shows the array of colourful blooms..
