My sunflower pocket vase gets its annual viewing! I missed the flowering of actual sunflowers but here are two Rudbeckias (R. hirta and R. subtomentosa), along with yellow sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), white garden phlox (P. paniculata), collarette Dahlia ‘Giggles’ and two wild asters (Symphotrichum lanceolatum and S. cordifolium).

It is an unusual vase. And glowing nicely with the choices Eliza 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you, Mark. 🙂
Splendid! It took me a minute to find the phlox. What nice Rudbeckias. What a nice dahlia.
Thanks, Tony. 🙂
It’s a very cheerful and delicate floral arrangement. I love how it combines different tones and shapes to create a small corner full of life. Each flower brings something different, and together they form a simple, natural, and very beautiful arrangement.
Gracias!
Wow Eliza! Beautiful.
Thank you, Cindy! 🙂
Gorgeous both the flowers and the vase.
Thank you, Rupali!
I love that vase Eliza, and the dahlia at the centre makes a lovely focal point among all your late summer perennials. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂
Lovely
Merci!
Eliza, your arrangement is a show-stopper with your gorgeous blooms and that amazing sunflower vase. Thanks for sharing your good cheer.
Thank you, Alys! Much appreciated. 🙂
Your vase really caught my eye, and your flowers go well with it.
Thank you!
I love the vase, and laughed at the dahlia named “Giggles.” I suppose laughter was exactly the right response to the name!
Yes, a silly one but it works!
Hi Eliza. Simply gorgeous . MJ
Thank you, MJ!
I enjoy your cheerful flower arrangements 🙂
Thanks, Anne, so glad you do! 🙂
🌻🌼💛 The pop of coral in this beautiful sunny vase arrangement is so pretty
Thank you, Susan. It was too tempting to resist. 🙂
A pleasure to behold, almost every week!
Thank you, Hein! 🙂
This one is so perfect for fall! And how I love that vase, which would make any bouquet look special.
Thank you, Laurie! It is a fun one to use, maybe I’ll give it another go before the season ends. 🙂
Yay!!!
What a beautiful show! And I just love that vase.
Thank you, Belinda. I don’t know why I don’t use that one more. Probably as it is stored high out of reach, I am lazy and grab ones closer to hand! 😀
It’s always a pleasure to see.
That is just a stunning arrangement and I LOVE the vase! I might have to paint a sunflower similar to that one on a few cards.
Thank you very much, Dawn. Sunflowers are undeniably a floral favorite!
That is really pretty, Eliza–both the floral selections and the vase, itself. 🙂
Thank you, Beth! It’s a fun one.
What a bright and cheery bouquet at the end of summer.
Thank you, Monika. I hope my garden holds out for a few more weeks, fingers crossed!
Your sunflower vase is a bright spot in my morning, Eliza! I love both the vase and its contents, especially that pretty collarette dahlia.
Thank you, Kris. It was a fun vase to work with. 🙂
Your sunflower pocket vase is such a lovely thing to have (and a good word to describe it), and I love the variety of the daisies you have been able to fill it with. Late summer colour in the garden is such a welcome thing
Thank you, Cathy. Lucky for us, Compositaceae is a big family!
The flowers are beautiful, but that vase just makes me smile. After living the majority of my adult life in Kansas, I do love sunflowers, and whoever the artist was who designed that vase, I applaud her skills. It’s gorgeous.
Thank you, Judy, glad you liked it. It was hand painted in Ecuador, an unusual design.
One of my favorite vases….and perfect mix of meadow/native flowers and cutting flowers.
Thank you, Donna!
Cool vase! 😊
Thank you, Bela. Hand painted in Ecuador. 🙂
Now see yours is spectacular 🙂
Thank you, Eunice!
The dahlia sets off the other flowers, what a great arrangement. You know I love asters, I wish I still had Rudbeckia blooming!
That vase is astonishing, as is your floral design (as usual) !
Beautiful, Eliza!
