I wasn’t expecting to join in for another few weeks. There’s nothing I can actually cut in the garden yet — overnight temperatures are still hovering around zero and there are very few things that even qualify as a leaf at the moment. But I have a pelargonium on the windowsill that’s been blooming nonstop since last autumn, and when I trimmed it back for cuttings this weekend, it seemed a shame to just compost the stems.
Then I remembered these little bud vases my sister-in-law gave us. So here they are: two happy pelargonium flowers in the front hallway, keeping us company while we wait for the garden to catch up.
An early start, but a promising one.
In a Vase on Monday is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden — join us there!
