Apparently some like to show off flowers in vases…
I have an “ever-lasting” bouquet of flowers that is basically just a bunch of twigs supplemented with whatever blooms at any given time. It’s currently mainly birch twigs with bright green foliage, and then I throw in a daffodil or 10 or whatever grabs my fancy.
But I also have lots of small vases perfect for just a single specimen – like this wonderful Arum leaf. In fact I have vases for anything you could imagine; by the last count I was up to 40-something so I wouldn’t be surprised if I had passed 50 by now, having inherited more than a few from my grandmother…
The one pictured is a small stone-ware vase, and I absolutely love the simplicity of the single leaf in a vase; I often use arum leaves as “surrounds” for bouquets, but they deserve to get their own place in the spotlight every now and then. The variegated variety is absolutely stunning this time of year.
