A Little Bit of Sunshine Inside

Yesterday I thought it would be good to bring in some of the things that are growing/blooming in the garden.   I have lots of plants that are getting their spring foliage and some of them are flowering as well.
I have multiple daffodils in my bouquet.  The large trumpet facing us I believe to be 'Glen Cova', the tiny one is 'Grand Soleil d'Or'.  The dark foliage in the front is Loropetalum 'Ever Red', blooming its head off now.  For filler I used some Acorus 'Sweet Flag Grass' think it is Ogon.
Also included was a handful of Grape Muscari armeniacum, love those little blue bell shaped blooms.

 This beauty is 'Tahiti', a wonder spicy scent!    Behind the Tahiti is a Red twigged Dogwood, Cornus sericea 'Kelseyi' and Spirea Van Houttei, just starting to leaf out.   Some of the red leaves of Nandina 'Harbor Dwarf' add a little more red.

Tucked in the middle is Viburnum tinus 'Spring Bouquet', I haven't had any fragrance from it yet.....maybe it is the wrong time of day when I am trying to catch a whiff?  I know some plants put off their scent different times of the day.  

For some added height and texture I also put some dried Panicum foliage, a nice soft beige.   I like having a bouquet in the house of whatever is blooming in my garden.  Do you bring in any of your blooms?
