I fully intended to put a tropical mixed vase together..until the predicted tropical rainstorm started and hasn’t let up. I had just cut the Heliconias when the bottom dropped out. This weather is a harbinger of things to come this week. Hurricane Milton is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico and is headed my way or somewhere on the Florida peninsula. The weather pundits are babbling away. I rooted around in my vase stash and came up with a red vase for my downsized vision. Sigh.

I am thankful for simple pleasures this Monday. Fingers crossed for a safe week for all. Thanks to Cathy for hosting, visit RamblingintheGarden to see more vases.
