May 17, 2012 -- bindweed

I have been surrounded by flowers all day--buckets and buckets of florist and garden flowers--which is maybe why the thing that appealed to me most, when I went to create a windowsill arrangement tonight, was this simple little vase with bindweed dripping from it. Friends and I will create many elaborate arrangements tomorrow, but none will satisfy me more than this.

If you've neglected your garden for even a minute this spring, you probably have bindweed growing somewhere.
