Onions and Oranges in a Vase

arrangement 1

Ornamental Onions and Mock Oranges, that is.

We're in a transition time for blooms, but there are always options for vase arrangements. I'm linking today to Cathy's "In a Vase on Monday," over at Rambling in the Garden.

Today, I have a couple of vases--a larger one (above), and

arrangement 2

A petite posy.

Salvia x sylvestris & Philadelphus

Both include cuttings from the Mock Orange (Philadelphus), currently at peak bloom. And the smaller vase also has clippings from 'May Night' Salvia (Salvia x sylvestris).

Allium giganteum 'Ambassador'

A large 'Ambassador' Allium (A. gigantieum) is the focal point in the big vase.

H. arborescens subsp. radiata

With buds and cuttings from the Smooth Hydrangea (H. arborescens subsp. radiata).

arrangement 2b

The little bud vase is equally at home in the house or out back. We're experiencing perfect early summer weather. This gardener and garden are happy.

Visit Rambling in the Garden for more vase ideas from around the world. Thanks to Cathy for hosting!
