I am happy to join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden with a vase this week. Yes, Spring has gone into second gear and will no doubt accelerate rapidly now and I have a few flowers to share!
My little vase contains narcissi (Jetfire I think) and primulas.
The Easter Lamb in the background has been with me for some years now, and I do have a soft spot for her. 😉
A closer look at the dear little jug that my Mum gave me a few years ago…
I forgot to photograph the inside before filling it, but there a few bird eggs on the base inside. 😃
The big double primula was purchased recently for a pot and smells amazing! A bit like lemon fizz! 😉
Wishing you all a sunny Easter week!
🌷☀️🌷
What a sweet little vignette, Cathy, so festive. I love your little birdie jug and glass eggs. I haven’t decorated for Easter since the kids have grown, but do miss the bunny/chick/lamb/egg theme. 🙂
I don’t go over the top any more with my seasonaal decorations, but do love to bring out a few favourites each year! 😉
Your cheerful arrangement is made all the more so by that jug, Cathy. I hope you enjoy a happy Easter!
Thank you Kris! The jug was perfect for today. My mum collected miniature ‘cream” jugs for years, and I may follow in her footsteps!
Wow, that is a bit primula! I really should get out more to see if primula such as these are available here. I have never seen them in nurseries, but do not get to nurseries often.
This one didn’t catch my eye at first, but my nose! It is such a lovely scent as well as being amazing to look at. I have no idea if it will perform next year once planted in the garden, but am enjoying it now.
Lovely. I would never have guessed that was a Primula and I love your Lamb. Happy Easter.
Thank you. We are having a mini heatwave here so the primula will have to be moved into the shade tomorrow I think, or it will be over in no time. 😃
Oh.. what is a heat wave there?
Well, it was 18°C yesterday, which is a ‘heatwave’ in March! Maybe up into the 20s today. But in summer it has to be upper 20s or 30s to be classed as such. 😉😎
we would be freezing at 18 here!
What a delightful little collection of flowers and personalities! Very sweet indeed – and very Eastery! I love Easter and of course chocolate, but none of it would be the same without primroses! Amanda https://therunningwave290580645.wordpress.com/2021/03/29/a-last-look-in-a-vase-on-monday/
Although I have little shade the primroses do really well here and are spreading slowly too. 😃
Yes, such a pretty tableau, and I love the little detail you mentioned of eggs on the inside of the jug! That’s an astonishing primula – and to have such a fragrance too! I am so pleased you were able to share this with us today, Cathy
Thanks Cathy. It’s good to be bringing flowers indoors again. I may have to float some more hellebores soon! Oh, and next time I use the jug I’ll take a photo of the inside. 😃
Yes, it must be a real thrill after all your snow and cold. Look forward to seeing the jug again!!
Happy Easter Cathy! Your primulas are lovely. Quite a difference between them.
Thank you Susie. This fancy primula is quite something, and the yellow ones in the garden are so pretty too. 😃
I love glass. Haven’t seen eggs before ❤
Hi Diana. I have no recollection of where I found those glass egss, but I do find them rather fascinating. They remind of the marbles I had as a child. 😃
Oh that’s a most attractive seasonal vase full of spring yellowness Cathy. Hope that you have a good Easter and that the sun shines down on you and your garden.
Thank you Anna! Wishing you a lovely sunny Easter too. ☀️
Cathy, this is a lovely vignette. Yellow is such a cheerful color and it definitely feels like Easter. I hope you enjoy your day. xo
Thanks Alys! It is lovely to see the garden become more colourful day by day. 😃
Oh, such a lovely little jug! Is it English? I’ve developed a slight addiction to English pottery ;). Gorgeous, sunny posy too and the bunnies made me smile. It’s good that there’s so much to do at this time of year. Wishing you both a sunny Easter weekend with lots of hugs and laughter xx
Wishing you the same Annette. Yes, it’s an English jug that my Mum picked up somewhere, possibly from a shop in a National Trust property! 😉
Cathy I love your jug painted with little birds: it is ideal for a vase, and with eggs inside it is a love. Daffodils and primrose, especially the double primrose I love. Your Easter Lamb is lovely, I love it. The rabbits are gorgeous and the crystal eggs are divine, I love them. It is a wonderful Easter decoration. That you continue with sun and good weather. Happy Easter. Very affectionate greetings from Margarita 😀😘🐇🥚🌷🌸
Thank you Margarita. Itbis still warm and sunny, but not as warm as it was as we had a brisk north east wind today! Have a lovely Easter!
Thanks Cathy. It has been raining here on Wednesday and Holy Thursday. I hope your wind disappears and the good weather continues. Enjoy Easter. Very affectionate greetings from Margarita.
I love the little Easter vase, and bright happy yellow flowers. ❤
Thank you! The rest of my daffodils will be blooming by next week hopefully too. 😃
