Despite a lot of rain and cool temperatures, it is May. That means the garden is full of blooms and the house is full of bouquets; so many that I've lost count. It also means that this is a very photo-heavy post. These bouquets were all done in the last few days and most of them are still in place in the house.
It's hard to find a blank wall in our house to use as a backdrop so the flowers stand out. I took these photos in the front hall using a Chinese bench to hold the vases. I was on my knees with my feet going into the coat closet directly behind me! It was the only way I could capture the vase as well as the flowers.
The vase is Scandinavian from the local antique mall. It has dwarf Iris 'Cherry Garden,' Muscari paraadoxum, prairie Trillium and unknown Heuchera and Epimedium foliage. The Muscari are very large, almost navy blue with a bit of yellow edge showing.

This vase ended up on my bathroom vanity.

I love the look and colors of this vase’s tubes but each must be filled individually. That makes it a chore and the flowers drink up the small amount of water quickly. Epimedium 'Lilac Fairy', Fritillaria pontica and Heuchera 'Marmalade' foliage. This Frit seeds around nicely.

It went on the shelf above the kitchen sink. A great location if impossible to photograph.

Muscari 'Valerie Finis', Tulipa sylvestris and a bit of vine from Clematis alpina 'Stolwijk Gold'. This particular tulip was popularized by Jefferson at Monticello, according to Brent and Becky Heath.

The same little bouquet on the soapstone sink-surround in Mark's bathroom with an African mask. Everything is reflected in the mirror behind the sink.

The rain meant I kept cutting more flowers to enjoy rather than let them get beaten down. This is Peony 'Nosegay', a second generation cross between P. tenufolia and P. mlokosewitschii ("Molly the witch"). She's a sensuous beauty.

Since this Chinese stone statue had his hand on his hip, I couldn't resist letting him hold the Peony.

It has been a spectacular year for Trilliums in my garden. They've been so plentiful, I haven't hesitated to pick them for bouquets. Trillium grandiflorum with Convallaria 'Hardwick Hall'.

It wouldn't be spring without daffodils and Tulips.

The colors work well with this wall and the big guy!

It may be a national holiday here, but that won't stop many of us from joining Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to share our creations from our gardens. Cathy is the creator of this totally enjoyable meme.
