Today's vases and location will be nothing new to you if you've ever stopped here on a Monday meme morning. The two Heath vases on the ends and the central container are among my top favorites and spend a lot of time on this windowsill above the kitchen sink.
What's noteworthy is that the contents are leaves and cuttings from my November garden that are still going strong in January, which is not an easy thing to make happen here in Wisconsin. Interspersing the vases are a salt shaker snowman (he cries salty tears!) and a ceramic snowman with twiggy arms.
The vases at the edges of the display hold cuttings I took from an annual Hibiscus plant that was in a pot by the front door all summer long. They've sent out roots so I am probably going to try to pot them up one of these days. The vase with the face holds a variety of foliage from Hellebores, Heuchera and Tiarella with one odd Geranium cutting. The rather spiky khaki-colored leaf is a Hellebore that was bluish-green when I clipped it. It's slowly turned this very pretty tone.
Nothing too unusual here except that I can partake of Cathy's "In a Vase on Monday meme" in January without trying to come up with something I've pulled together in the absence of flowers from my own garden. Stop by Rambling in the Garden to see what other gardeners are putting in a vase today.
Lovely, as usual. I'm so glad your cuttings are rooting. That's always a happy occurance.

Your snowmen are perfect props for the miraculous foliage. Here's hoping for a mild winter for you!

I do like your window display, Linda - especially the vase with face and your cute snowmen! The choice of foliage you have used reminds just how attractive vases can be even without blooms - thanks for sharing

Barbara — Now I just have to keep them from getting some kind of houseplant bug.

Cathy — As you know, it's always a bit of a balancing act finding an attractive vase but not so pretty it overshadows the bouquet!

Fun to see that your cuttings have survived until now. You will have all sorts of hibiscus this summer.

Lisa — I would be more than happy if I can get those cuttings to make it through the winter. I have been buying a good-sized plant each Spring and it would be nice to grow my own for a change.

Hi Linda, just found your blog on Rambling in the Garden, where I showed my own vase today as well.
I love the leave cuttings in the middle vase with the face. So simple and still so beautiful.
I also love the vases to the very right and left. They would be wonderful for displaying just a single flower. I could see those in my own house, too.
Happy New Year to you!
Warm regards,
Christina
