Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, who hosts the weekly garden meme In A Vase On Monday (featuring flower arrangements from our gardens), celebrates her 12th anniversary of the meme this week. She suggests a theme annually for gardeners to join in celebrating with her. This year she has chosen Puns and Props, something she enjoys including in her weekly offerings all year through. (Click the link to join the fun or see what others are sharing this week.)

The pun I chose is: “Geology rocks, but geography is where it’s at!” My props are two geode crystals, amethyst and citrine, and an atlas open to the UK, where our host lives.

My arrangement was collected from my yard and trails, seeking out colorful foliage, fruit and seed heads. I happily cut invasive plants– euonymous, privet, barberry, burning bush and bittersweet, which all show beautiful autumn foliage. Also included: raspberry leaves, dried hydrangea flowers, Japanese anemone, goldenrod and coneflower seed heads.

Thank you, Cathy, for twelve years of hosting this addictive meme and connecting flower lovers and gardeners all over the globe.
