Buds In a Vase on Monday



I've got a jar of twigs here. Not just any old twigs though, they are Magnolia 'Stellata'. It was planted here when we came and does not disappoint when it flowers for a few weeks in spring. 
I read somewhere, sorry I've forgotten where, that if you bring in a few buds they will open in the warmth. Hope so. 
The twigs are covered in lovely moss and Lichen so are very pretty to look at. I thought Lichen was a sign of clean air, I'd be very surprised as we live on a busy road but perhaps it is true as we have quite a lot. 

I managed a little weeding this morning before the drizzle started. Safe to say I am not keeping up with my January plan but this is a new month so new start. Perhaps a couple of dry days?

  1. They're not in bloom long but stunning while they are. Hope they open up soon

  3. So pretty, especially against that black background! The buds are fabulous as they are but I hope they bloom for you.

  5. The shape and flow of those stems is rather special Alison and goes so well with that exquisitely coloured vase. I hope that there is going to be a follow up to this post 😃

    1. I hope so! I think a few of the buds look a little fatter.
