Where to put the next vase? That is the question of the moment. With today's bunch of flowers I currently have three vases and with a hot conservatory and extension building in progress, there isn't actually a lot of space for another vase. Last Tuesday's posy is still standing (except the rose) and also the tulips are still very glamorous. The stems have erected themselves further like graceful ballerinas above the green helleborus(Click here for last bunch's blog)

So, this week's bunch is literally going to be a movable feast, as a feast it is. Look at the bright flamboyant colours of the ranunculus. 


It's a movable feast as the the vase will go from bar to table to coffee table and back again. I added some Euphorbia oblongata for foliage. Both varieties had to be dipped into boiling water to condition them, 15 seconds for the euphorbia's and the ranunculus just a few seconds. I then let them all soak up some water slightly warmer than tepid in the vase while outside in the shade. 

I have every hope that these posh buttercups (as that is what ranunculus are) is going to grace whichever part of the house for a good week. But as always, I'll let you know next week.
