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. π
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. π
The big double primula was purchased recently for a pot and smells amazing! A bit like lemon fizz! π
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. π
I don’t go over the top any more with my seasonaal decorations, but do love to bring out a few favourites each year! π
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. π
Oh.. what is a heat wave there?
Well, it was 18Β°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. ππ
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. π
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. π
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. π
I love glass. Haven’t seen eggs before β€
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. π
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. βοΈ
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. π
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! π
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 ππππ₯π·πΈ
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. β€
Thank you! The rest of my daffodils will be blooming by next week hopefully too. π
