In a vase on Monday: yellow and pink
This weekend, I made two arrangements with roses, spirea, and hydrangea — all from our yard.
I like red and pink together, but I find dark red so difficult to photograph. It just swallows all the light.

I put the yellow arrangement on the coffee table.
That orange rose is the only one that’s fragrant.

Vintage landscape: the glads
“Flower bed (blomsterrabatt) with gladiolus at Trädgårdsföreningen, The Garden Society of Gothenburg, founded in 1842,” Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden, 1944, a color slide by Fredrik Bruno, via Swedish National Heritage Board Commons on flickr.
The glads offer no solution:
being—falling—
you mustn’t count the days—
fulfillment
livid, tattered, or beautiful.— Gottfried Benn, from “Gladioli“
