Spring flowers in a vase in support of the people of Ukraine
I just read that the Queen posed with Justin Trudeau in front of a massive vase of blue and yellow flowers as a gesture of support for Ukraine. Well, my blue and yellow vase for today’s In a Vase on Monday meme, regularly hosted by Cathy@ramblinginthegarden, is tiny in comparison, but is honestly meant nevertheless.
The flowers are a simple mixture of :
Iris reticulata ‘Clairette’
Pulmonaria officinalis (common lungwort)
Primroses
and an Eryngium spike, which was preserved for its dusty blue colour, from a lovely flower arrangement sent by my sister when we lost our dog, Sadie, before Christmas.

Lovely sentiment and endearing flowers.
Thanks. I hope the Ukrainian people can feel the outpouring of love and support for them.
Lovely!
🙂
Blue and yellow floral arrangements have garnered a lot of attention lately for good reason. Yours is lovely.
Thank you. A slightly more basic application of the language of flowers 😉
This really is lovely. The pastel yellows and blues fit together as nicely as sunflowers and a blue sky. To be honest, in a forced choice I might take yours!
🙂 Thanks Linda. There’s a freshness about this, but the reminiscences that come with the sunflower/sky combo make that a deserved classic.
What a lovely gesture, Allison – and I hadn’t heard about the Queen and JT’s so will go and check that out too

Thanks for that – she could at least have posted a link to IAVOM, although now you have done it for her! 😁
🤣 I have at that!
Ukraine is constantly on our minds, the people and the country is in a dreadful plight. A lovely bouquet.
Yes, there are many consequences to the current conflict that make it front and foremost in all our thoughts.
Cheers!
Flowers say it better than words can, sometimes.
Certainly true for me! 🙂
A beautiful show of support….feeling spring in your vase!
Thank you, Donna … it definitely felt spring-like today here in the sunshine.
Love the sentiment and the flowers. Reminded me of a picture of an old lady on the Moscow underground, cleverly signaling her views by wearing a blue headscarf and yellow coat.
Yes … It’s dangerous ground, sounds like.
