So a marmalade combination for this Monday’s vase, photographed in Sunday afternoon’s sunshine.
The vase includes Dahlia ‘Mystery Fox’
old favourite Dahlia ‘Happy Single Date,’ with new growth of Cerinthe major purpurescens
Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty,’
and Euphorbia myrsinites together with unknown succulent. This was given as a cutting by a neighbour and I now have quite a few of them. Maybe some kind of Asphodel?
And the madness? Well, after the delight of meeting up with Sam from A Coastal Plot at the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition at the Tate Modern, how about an IaVoM lunch next year when London’s Garden Museum reopens after its £7.5m redevelopment? The website promises a ‘bigger, brighter cafe’. Anyone up for it?
With thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, who started it all off.

Lovely colour and combination of flowers. Count me in for the lunch; great idea x
Thanks Sam. Just look what you’ve started!
Perfect fall combo. I look forward to reading your take on the Garden Museum when it reopens. I’ve read a lot about it though I’ve never been there.
Yes, I am up fo it too – well of course I had to be!! Are you offereing to arrange and co-ordinate? Your marmalade blooms are lovely – and I am definitely going to have some of the Happy Single dahlias for next year, HS Juliet for a start
Great – you’ll be at the head of the table!
Oh no, we need a more equitable round table 😉 And we can all come with a buttonhole/corsage instead of a vase perhaps, particularly if we can arrange it for a Monday… Definitely excited already!
Great idea. I’d need some notice as I’d have to fly over.
That would be fabulous Christina.
Perhaps we could arrange it around a trip you’re planning to make anyway? Just let us know!
A gorgeous zingy combination, good enough to spread on toast and eat! Count me in for the lunch, that’s a wonderful idea.
Hi Joanna, that’s great news. It will be fascinating to meeting IaVoMers!
These are great colour combinations – truely marmalade-those are lovely dahlias-mine have been munched by the slugs 😦 and they’re cute milk bottles too .
I’ve got some yellow flowers in my vase this week – which isn’t like me at all – it’s usuallypinks, lilacs and purples – time for a change.
It would be lovely to meet some other IaVoMers – I hope you’ll all let me off for being rubbish with plant names 🙂
another venue for a meet up in a few years could be RHS Bridgewater in 2019 😉 2 miles from my house – I’m so excited about it 🙂 have a lovely week. love bec xx
A splendid fall-colored arrangement – it’s beautiful!
Gorgeous colours. I really like ‘Happy Single Date’, which I haven’t seen before ( I do grow ‘Happy Wink’ though).
I had never heard of the Garden Museum before, and would love to come to the IAVOM meeting… perhaps I could manage to fly over but would need to know the date a little in advance. It’s such a great idea! 🙂 I love your vase this week too!
Great idea. Lovely colours in your vase
