A green Sideritis stem, a single Grevillea 'Moonlight' and Phylica stem, and a cluster of Leucadendron 'Blush'.
I gravitate naturally to gaudy, but a pale yellow array has an elegance worth appreciating. While I took the photos on the driveway this warm sunny morning, a Hummingbird appeared at nearby Grevillea 'Superb'. I got a few shots before the male Hummer, who considers this Grevillea his exclusive territory, arrived to fight.
Nice subdued color array here, also.

That is a beautiful, restrained, and elegant arrangement, I just love it! The shadow on the wall behind it is also pretty artsy!
ReplyDeleteYou got some fabulous shots of the hummingbird feasting on the grevillea. We are so lucky to have these entertaining cheerful birds around.
Have a wonderful start into the new week!
Warm regards,
Christina
Thanks, Christina. I hope you have a beautiful week, and are able to get out and garden before the Friday rain(!!!!) arrives.
DeleteYou may have to give me a photography tutorial one day - all your photos are exceptional but I love these! Your vase was pretty to start with but your photograph takes it to another level. My own Sideritis has yet to produce one of those sexy stems but I'm counting myself lucky that the plants finally seem to be settling in. As to 'Moonlight', I do need to find a place for one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the photos. I just take 100 and pick the one that's in focus.
DeleteVery, very, very pleased with the Sideritis. Enjoy!
I seem to recall you once claiming to have no talent for flower arranging. What a fibber you are turning out to be.
ReplyDeleteSurely you jest!
DeleteWait, did I just call you Shirley? (Airplane! reference).
Wow, your arrangement looks very dramatic with the shadow behind! Great humming bird shots!
ReplyDeleteI was enjoying the sun, for once. The shadows were quite dramatic.
DeleteWell that's just beautiful! The colors all play so nicely together and the Sideritis stems... wow! And don't even get me started about the shadows!!! Dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThat long-shadows-of-winter thing.
DeleteI discovered putting together a vase of something encourages looking for good color combinations. Kris P, you, Ricki, are so good at that. It's educational. :)
