It's easy to become addicted to throwing something from the garden or found nearby in a vase each Monday thanks to the talented and dedicated Cathy of Rambling in the Garden who hosts this habit-forming meme. Click on the link to see what she's found to put in a vase this week and to find links to the vases of other participating bloggers.

Euonymus europaeus 'Red Ace' is showing off it's vibrant berries in the parking strip. This was the last plant I purchased from Steamboat Island Nursery run by Duane and Laine who both now live only in our memories. The autumn glory of this plant brings sweet thoughts of these kind people and their wonderful nursery.

Also now in berry is Phytolacca americana (Pokeweed,) which some consider a weed. I let a few grow for these berries borne on vibrant fuschia stems.

Many years ago, at the Glass Eye Studio sidewalk sale, this vase made it's way into my bag. It's colors are perfect for this time of year although the back usually gets covered up unless it's just holding a single bloom.

This bird flew down to check out the snacks.
Joining the arrangement is this unidentified rock found on a sale table.
And a couple of aperitif glasses, another gift from neighbor, Sandy.
Also in the vase are Cupressus arizonica and a bird-planted Cotoneaster franchetii.
