Monday Vase: From the Pomegranate Tree

Monday Vase meme
Tonight's post is necessarily short as it is quite late here.  This tray is certainly outside my usual range, but I had only a little time this evening to make up anything for the Monday Vase meme.  So I used a couple of young pomegranates fresh off the tree and simply laid them on a low silver tray.

Daylight was nearly gone when I finished the arrangement, so please pardon the quality (or otherwise) of the photographs!

Leaves, stems, fruit, and a tray...

As you may know from yesterday's post, many of my plants have paused in blooming, leaving me carefully eyeing the overall design of the garden.  The pomegranate tree, however, is well-supplied with fruit this year - much better than last.  So I let it provide the material for this week's "vase" to join with Cathy in the Monday Vase meme.

Happy Monday (and now Tuesday)!

      Thanks so much, GH! Perhaps the need for speed inspired a little extra creativity...

      Thank you, Donna - glad you enjoyed it! Still waiting for edible fruit ;-) but they're fun even just for decorative purposes...

    A masterful still life. I like this so much! I've been thinking of adding a pomegranate tree. Are they fussy to grow?

      This one has been almost embarrassingly easy :) Given our 7.5 inch annual rainfall, I have to water it occasionally, and I should give more thought to pruning since this one is growing more as a shrub than a tree. Not a bit fussy though! And spring bloom alone is spectacular!

    Thank you so much for sharing this Amy, showing us all how attractive a simple out-of-the-box idea can be. Those 7.5 inches of rain must be very special...

      I'll have to try using fruit again sometime, I think! We're starting to see a chance of rain in the weather forecast; it has its drawbacks, but the garden will be happy, I'm sure ;-) Thanks, Cathy!
