Doing a bit of garden nipping and snipping last night, I needed to clear some airspace for a rather small plant just coming into bud. Largely overcrowded by catmint - the blue spikes you can see several of above, I certainly didn't want to just put them in the garden waste. As there were about 10 stems, I wondered what would "go with", and before I knew it I had enough for a bunch on the mantelpiece!
In there are:
Nepetia (catmint - the dark blue spikes)
Sisyrinchium (the yellow flowers on long stems - good for seeding anywhere.... they just pop up!)
Ephorbia (commonly called spurge - the lime green ones, and those are not flowers but bracts - flowers so small you can't see them)
Nigella (love-in-the-mist commonly, which is such a lovely name. Again, these seed anywhere and everywhere..... just pull out the ones you don't want!)
So I got a lovely pot full at no charge, and all my own work - together with nature, of course. Such a joy to have a garden during lock-down. I can empty my mind and just do a bit of pottering!!
Very envious of your mirror. And loving your blue wall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison. Mirror - an on-line purchase. Blue walls - just go for it! We just decided that if we didn't like it we'd paint over it...... still there!!
