In a Vase on Monday is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Do click here to see her vase this week and to find links to other participating bloggers' vases.
While there are still blooms in my garden, what's catching my eye these days are colorful berries and fruits. Today's vase contains Callicarpa (Beauty Berry) a few oak leaves gathered during a walk in the park, dried lunaria annua and Paulownia tomentosa seed pods and a couple trusses of the weedy Phytolacca americana.

Emptying my pockets from a recent walk also produced a few horse chestnuts (conkers) and a couple of bitter oranges from the Poncirus trifoliata 'Flying Dragon' in my parking strip. Perhaps I'll pick up some bright orange Physalis alkekengi from the store to add to the arrangement.

Joining the vase are a couple of pumpkins from one of the boxes of autumn decorations.
