Tea Pot Flower Bouquets

I have been getting a lot of use from this old English tea pot with a cosy that my mom gave me last year.  The pot is full of hairline cracks, so cannot be used for tea. 

I removed the top (the cosy) and put a glass jar inside to fill with water so I can use it for fresh flower bouquets.  During the past month, I have had three different bouquets in it.

About a week ago, DH came home with these supermarket flowers.  When the purple flowers died out, the Gerbera daisies still looked OK, so I saved them.

I went out to  my own garden and cut down some yellow tulips to add to the pink Gerberas.

 I arranged the bouquet on my aqua potting bench, then brought it inside to enjoy.

It's a very simple bouquet that goes nicely in my living room.

It has been cold and raining here for the past three days so I have not been able to do anything outside.  On Sunday I did plant three containers.  I went out to the garden and dug up my only  heuchera  Villosa 'Tiramisu'

It has not done well in the garden. I decided to try it in a container.  I am much better with container plantings than I am planting in the ground.  I can also see and enjoy it more often in a container.

I am hoping all of this rain will kick my garden into a major growth spurt.  Maybe by the weekend I will be able to get outside again.
