Since the start of summer, I've wondered every week what I can possibly come up with to include in a vase for the post linked to the "In a Vase on Monday" meme hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. For the last 2 weeks I featured bright red-orange-coral hues and I didn't want to do that again even though Grevillea 'Superb' is overachieving in the bloom department at the moment. And, while the cooler temperatures have prompted a few Camellia sasanqua to bloom, there weren't enough to make a splash. However, the Plectranthus ciliatus 'Zulu Warrior' by the back door has flowers aplenty so it was the obvious choice, even though I had no clue what to combine with it. But, strolling through the garden turned up all the elements this simple bouquet needed.
I also grow Coleonema 'Sunset Gold' mainly for the foliage but it does produce tiny pink flowers and the scent, when you run your hand along the foliage, is indeed heavenly
Pentas 'Kaleidoscope Appleblossom' has suddenly produced a healthy flush of bloom, although the flowers are somewhat smaller than they were earlier in the year
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see her creation this week. A lot of other gardeners are joining in to flaunt their flora so, if you have a vase created from materials in your garden, link up!
