Flowers in the House.

| Euporatium rugosa 'Chocolate' |
|
I moved this dark leaved Euporatium in the Spring. I had planted it close to the house and it did not seem happy. It has only been moved a few feet but it has made a huge difference as it's new home is damper. I haven't been able to pick it for a vase before as there have only been one or two flowers.

| Scented leaf Pelargoniums |
These Pelargoniums have been in the garden all summer. They are not hardy so I have moved them to the sunny warm porch. I lost the ones I had last year which I kept in the garage.
Three weeks ago I wrote about
preserving leaves in glycerine. The leaves are now a lovely chocolate colour and I am especially pleased with the berries.
I'm not sure how to display them yet although I am thinking about a terracotta pot.
A new purchase from a charity shop. I think summery alchemilla and roses will look good in it next year.
The pinks vase is gorgeous you're right roses would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe preserved leaves are really beautiful!
