FERN FROND ARRANGEMENT IN A VASE

It has been raining on and off for the last two days—mostly on.  The garden plants are revelling in it and you can almost hear the grass grow.  Everything is lush and green and as long as it doesn't go on for too long, I am quite happy because not only does it save on me watering but also on feeding as the nitrogen in the rainwater seems to invigorate the plants.  For a while I have been thinking whether or not to put some kind of flower arrangement in the vase (amphora) that I bought recently for the garden room.  I fancied dried hydrangea flowers but it's not the time for them, artificial ones are astronomical in price and are mostly naff.  I don't have any hydrangeas flowering yet in my garden even though I planted a young Hydrangea paniculata 'White Lady' a couple of years ago.  The reason it hasn't flowered is because the ****ing dustbin men kept throwing bags on it and nearly killed it off!!!   I have remedied that by inserting a metal obelisk over it and now the hydrangea is growing well under metal protection but are yet to produce blooms.  Then I thought of using fern fronds in the vase in the meantime.  I have a number of ferns (see below) that I used.  As the vase (amphora) is more ornamental and not actually made to hold water, I have inserted a small glass vase within it to hold water for the ferns.
