A very ‘sherberty’ arrangement for the Bank Holiday (and the visit of the Mother in Law).
Like Cathy this week, I used chicken wire as the blooms were so heavy I couldn’t get them to ‘wedge’ in such an open vase, but also like Cathy, I noted that it was none too forgiving when you wanted to rearrange! However, I’ll definitely forgive it, as I don’t want to use oasis, and even if I did, I couldn’t in a glass vase!
The blooms were arranged on Friday and already by the time I took this picture the ‘St Swithun’ rose (in the centre) was looking a little droopy, and a couple of the Zinnias a little crusty.
Zinnias generally last really well in a vase, and the majority of these ‘Benary Giant Limes’ will be looking good for days, together with the gorgeous rose, ‘Jubilee Celebration’. I think perhaps the crusty one’s stem had simply missed the water – oops!
Wishing you all a fabulous Bank Holiday – with or without bon bons!
With thanks to Cathy who hosts all our Monday vases.

A luscious combination.
So beautiful, and it really does look good enough to eat! Normally I’m not that fond of green flowers, but yours are perfectly lovely combined with the pink roses!
You’ve paired up your roses with that lovely green which suits them so well…and that a lovely green from your zinnias too.
A beautiful color combination! Your arrangement looks very romantic and the roses must smell divine!
Oh definitely sherberty colours – and my goodness! those zinnias are huge! Or perhaps the roses are smaller than I think…! Thanks for sharing, Jen
The combination is yummy – and it makes me hungry. It’s past lunchtime here and I haven’t eaten yet…
A lovely colour combination
