I've been wanting to pick two pale pink things blooming in the yard: New Dawn roses and a Jean May fall-blooming camellia. Thought I'd combine them with just a few leaves, but I just couldn't make the flowers work together.  This is what I wound up with (no pun intended!).  The New Dawn roses are wrapped with a climbing spinach vine, which has pretty pink buds and blackish seed pods on it right now.

The camellia wound up in another vase with an old okra stem, but they don't seem too comfortable together. I tried putting some of the spinach leaves under the vase to jazz this up, but think what I wound up with (that expression again!)  is a mess.
