Winter green

It is wet and wild here this morning, but I ventured outside to see what greenery the garden offered for cutting.

I found ceanothus, choisya, pieris and ivy; also a few mahonia flowers and a single astrantia.

I took a sprig of viburnum x bodnantense for its almond scent, some red stems of dogwood, and 'arranged' everything in a jug:

No skill involved, little time and it's all free.

Beautiful arrangement. My Viburnum Bodantense has not flowered yet this winter. I love Pieris and have four in my garden. Love those free bouquets! We are awaiting the third windstorm this week! Must batten down the hatches!

No skill? Just the immense knowledge and ability for gardening.

Lovely!
