The first day of spring was Wednesday. I don’t know how it is where you live but from a number of reports, including here in my home zone, spring is a reluctant debutante.  Even so I was able to grab a handful of spring out of the garden.

Spring beauties int his bouquet include clematis, muscari, bleeding heart, hellebore, a daffodil and avalanche lily, among others (the yellow on the right is the avalanche lily).

This diminutive blue vase contains a snowdrop, evergreen daphne, white corydalis and rosemary.

Small vases like this are wonderful at a bedside or grouped for a table display.
