There’s a lot of pink in my garden at the moment… this surprises me each autumn but is not at all unwelcome as it goes so nicely with the peachy rusty shades of fading foliage. So these are the colours featuring in my Monday vase this week, as I join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden again for her weekly meme.
I picked the last of these peach roses and one pink one (all no names!), some of the now deep pink Sedum, Scabiosa, the rose ‘Fairy’, Aster ‘Little Carlow’ (I think), Aster ‘Lutetia’, and a little pink Aster given to me by a friend last year, Hypericum berries, Pennisetum, Hakonechloa (now with pink tinges), a Geranium flower and various Cosmos. I chose my blue teapot as a vase – although these are actually Cornflowers on it, they remind me of little blue asters.
Do visit Cathy to see what seasonal delights are being put in vases around the world this Monday.
And have a great week!
Words and Herbs 
Definitely more summery than autumnal! Lovely Cathy
It’s funny – I always think of Cosmos as summer flowers, but they seem to flower later and later each year!
What a dear teapot! Love the use of grasses here, and the peachy rose and asters add to the autumnal feel. Let’s celebrate the season before frost ends our garden play. 🙂
I have decided we aren’t going to get any frost until December this year… the power of positive thinking???? 😉
😀 I like it!
So cute! Love that teapot. The flowers look so cosy nestled in it.
I don’t think I have ever had any cornflowers in my blue teapot, so it always comes out at aster time! 😉
The asters look sweet among all of the pastel blooms. Happy IAVOM.
Thank you Lisa. I forgot just how much I liked asters until they all started flowering again!
Great colors and style!
Thanks Marian!
So pretty!
Thanks! I love these colours. 🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks Ilze. The garden is still producing lots of flowers!
That is something that is not happening in my garden. Mainly cause I didn’t plant them 🙂 🙂 🙂
Inspiring arrangements. Thank you for posting.
Thanks EAM Harris… and thank you for visiting!
So pretty, especially in such a sweet teapot!
Thanks Peter. I think I have only ever made tea in this pot once, it is just too perfect for using as a vase! 😉
The peachy rose is such a pretty shade, Cathy, aand its pink tints work well with the pink blooms you have added. Enjoy your flying visit to the UK and the anniversary celebrations
The rose has now faded and elegantly dropped most of its petals. I am hoping the last bud will open. 🙂 I’m here for another week before I fly, so perhaps you could order us some nice weather by then? …. Oh, about 20°C and sunshine on the East coast please! 😉
I would like to oblige but sadly I can’t promise… The drop in temperature overnight is increasingly noticeable but we are still having some sunny periods in the daytime. Forecast to be wet and stormy tonight though
Just returned home from a short trip to a hotter, dryer part of California. Until I returned home I didn’t realize all the voluptuous color in my neighborhood. I guess I took it for granted. Your Monday vase speaks to that wondrous color, fabulous.
Hi Deb. It’s the same here if I am away for a while… the hillsides here are wonderful colours at the moment and I just don’t see that in other oarts of the country. 🙂
Oh my Cathy I adore that tea pot and my what a stunning arrangement filled with so much beauty from your garden.
Thank you Donna. You always say such nice things! 🙂
I adore peach-colored roses – they look good with everything!
This one smells wonderful too. 😀
Such a neat and sweet arrangement in that little teapot. I seem to have an abundance of pink too, which is not at all unwelcome. Your peachy rose is simply gorgeous.
Thanks Joanna! That rose has gracefully faded and lost almost all of its petals, but still looks pretty!
The little teapot is so beautiful!And with flowers in it it looks even better!
Thanks Anca. After all, who needs a teapot for tea? Much more suited as a vase! 😉
So very pretty, so much still to look at.
Thanks Alison! The garden is still going strong!
So nice! Love that teapot.
Thank you Laurie! 🙂
I love your teapot, I don’t think I have seen it before. Little Carlow is one of my favourites. Your peachy rose is gorgeous.
I have to admit I have never used the teapot for cornflowers, but I used it for asters last year too! 😉 (And I used it to make tea once, I think!) 😉
So very lovely. I forgot about the asters in my garden!
A couple of mine are still to open. I have had a nice long season of them this year. 🙂
Love the blue teapot, enjoy these while they last. Roses in October!
I always get roses up to our first frost, which could be at the end of October but is often much later. Keeping my fingers crossed it will be late this year! 🙂
Cathy the kettle is divine. The peach roses are really beautiful. The Aster are beautiful. The bouquet is divine and Summer. Georgus is in your teapot. Greetings from Margarita.
Thanks Margarita. 🙂
The little teapot is perfect for all those pinks! So delicate and charming!
Thank you Debra.The teapot is only used for flowers these days! 🙂
