The Dill is still blooming madly in the herb container so I could not resist cutting some more and dilly dallying through the garden looking for something different to accompany the Dill. I added some sprigs of Rosemary from the herb containers and the rest of the vase is composed of wildflowers from the garden, some I planted and others appeared without encouragement from me.
Joining the Dill and Rosemary are: In yellow, Beach Sunflowers (some call them Beach Daisies Helianthus debilis); in red, Tropical Red Salvia (Salvia coccinea); I planted both of these native wildflowers. In blue, the native Ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum); the white flowers are Spanish Needles (Bidens alba). The Ageratum and Spanish Needles just pop up at an alarming rate. Seemingly from thin air.
My husband’s comment about this ” a very perky arrangement” There is something cheerful and perky about wildflowers and especially daisies. There aren’t really daisies in the vase, but the resemblance is clear. The vase is a thrift store find and I like the hot colored flowers displayed in earth tone pottery. With the Rosemary, Dill and Salvia this vase is leaving a lovely herbal scent in my foyer.

Thank you, I am still missing grey foliage in my garden and the Rosemary was as close as I could get.

Oh I like the idea of a vase full of herbs and wild flowers and I agree that is indeed a ‘perky arrangement. Is it the leaves of your salvia that are fragrant? I am completely enamourexd with the fragrant leaves of Salvia ‘Neon’ which I have, and I intend to seek out some more fragrant leaved ones if I can. Thanks for sharing another dilly vase

The leaves, yes, the flowers are not really fragrant and it is an herbal scent not as strong as culinary sage.

Neon has an almost blackcurrant leaf fragrance – most appealing

Great pottery base – solid and goes with everything. I was surprised to see seeded dill already. You have it year ’round or only in fall/winter? I love the pop of red salvia!

It is a sunny arrangement, which befits your climate. I was surprised to see that Ageratum as it blooms in late summer or fall here – but then I suppose the timing is all about climate too.

The Ageratum popped up under a Desert Rose – do you have those? The Ageratum are fearfully prolific and I need to get rid of it, not sure when the normal season is. I see them and pull them out.

Perky is a good word to describe those yellow daisies. Very fresh and cheerful, and almost edible with the herbs in it! I like to grow that salvia in pots in the summer as I am not sure I could get it through a winter here. Strategically placed where you have to brush past it makes for a lovely aromatic touch in the garden.

Thank you, Cathy. I am sure you couldn’t get the Salvia through the winter there – it is not perennial too much further north of me, but it reseeds madly so there is always mountains of it.
