On Sunday, after the last service at Church, the altar flowers are given away. This week, in celebration of our recent wedding, the flowers were given to us. What a lovely surprise and perfect timing for In A Vase on Monday, hosted each week by the talented Carol at Rambling in the Garden.

This golden bird vase, purchased at Molbaks at their 90% off sale for less than two dollars reminds me of the Oliver Herford poem, I heard a bird sing:
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
"We are nearer to spring
Than we were in September."
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

Of course, it's no longer December and spring draws nearer every day. There are lots of white flowers representing the cold of winter and some bright orange rays of hope that spring and summer will come once again.

Because some of the flowers are orange, this blue glass vase came to mind.
The fragrance of eucalyptus greens is as warm as the flower colors.
