Every summer I wait impatiently for this unknown Heuchera to bloom. I have more than a ?dozen clumps of it scattered along the backside of the driveway border, where no one sees them unless they go exploring.
This is the only Heuchera I grow that is so floriferous I can pick a bouquet of just these flowers. They stems are tall and the blossoms are large and intensely colored. I added a few stems of Ninebark (Physocarpus) 'Amber Jubilee' that I'd just pruned for a little contrast.
I plunked it all in one of my many beautiful glass vases by Richard Jones of Studio Paran.
If you slowly rotate the vase, the pattern of silver rectangles change in size and relationship.
Both the front and back of the vase have a thin stripe of red running vertically through the design.
The Ninebark foliage echoes the wider orange band that circles the neck of the vase.
To see what other gardeners have put in a vase today, visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden who hosts this long running meme.
The vase is beautiful as are its contents, Linda. Heuchera blooms in spring here (if at all) so it startles me to see in mid-summer. I can't imagine getting flowers that profuse. I think I have only 2 varieties at present, H. maxima, a California native, and H. 'Marmalade', which currently looks dead but I hope will come back during our rainy season.

Now that is a mass of dainty Heuchea. Amazing number of flowers.
The vase is fabulous.
