This week, we celebrate the anniversary of In a Vase on Monday, a meme that has delighted us over many years. Cathy’s request this week is for arrangements made without flowers, perfect for my post-frost and post-snowy November garden.

Twigs of Fothergilla are joined by seed heads of Miscanthus, Pennisetum and Monarda. Beautyberry (Callicarpa) berries add bright purple, along with burgundy foliage of Oakleaf Hydrangea (H. quercifolia), evergreen Barrenwort (Epimedium) and multi-colored Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides).
