We use a lot of herbs for cooking but often on the breakfast room table, I'll clip a handful of herbs and put them in this old Victorian washstand piece. The chives are blooming in abundance and I love the green and purple of the chives in the purple/blue vase. A wee bee skep to keep everyone company.I prefer a single herb for the bouquet on the breakfast table. The chives while they're blooming so profusely, lavender when it starts to bloom, and a favorite, the fennel -- those lacy fronds especially the bronze ones making each meal so much more pleasant.
The breakfast room is, after all, the garden room -- the one room that overlooks the back garden. What better centerpiece than herbs from the garden.

I think your chives are lovely in your vase. Perfect setting for them.

I have a new chive plant pop up this year. I love them.
That looks so sweet. laurie
Herbs can, indeed, be pretty. Sometimes that's all that the deer leave in our garden, so they often feature at our table (the herbs, not the deer!)
I love your centerpiece. You are so lucky that you are somehwere where you have rain. I would love to grow chives like that. Liz
Martha,
My chives are blooming as well! I just love the purple and green!
I think I will cut a few of the flowers and put them in a small vase too!!!
