Another simple vase from me this week showcasing the Kirengshoma palmata which is looking beautiful at the moment. This is one of few plants that I would really miss if I was to loose it and I look forward every year to the first flowers appearing. As I have said before on this blog the flowers remind me of butter curls.
I have added a bit of extra color with some stems of Callicarpa. I bought the Callicarpa a few weeks back from Hidcote Gardens and some of the stems are growing horizontally at ground level so need to be removed. I think the purple berries pick up on the purple tones of the stem and base of the Kirengshoma flowers.
To increase the balance between the yellow and purple/burgundy I have put the stems in a burgundy glass vase which I have shown on here before.
I am rather pleased with the arrangement, it is quite simple but I think elegant and interesting.
