Nothing original in today's vase, just a few hellebore blooms floating in a punchbowl.
One of the magnolia branches I brought in for last weeks arrangement has shedded the fuzzy bud cover and the tightly packed petals are visible. There were still a lot of fallen budded branches sitting in the garden so many were cut and are now filling vases all over the house. Finally the rest of the limbs are in the yard waste bins and the garden paths are walkable again, if a bit littered with sawdust and bamboo leaves. Anyway, a few twigs made it into the center of today's vase
While we all love hellebores blooming in our gardens in the winer, many of the blooms shyly bow their heads toward the ground so we can't fully enjoy their pretty faces. Floating them is a wonderful way to enjoy them up close and to compare blooms.
It ended up on the dining room table before I got a different tablecloth on it. The reflections are sort of interesting.

Throw in a few hellebore blooms ant there you have it, one of my lazier offerings.
