parrot tulips, celosia, rose grand amore, viburnum &....

hairy balls - oops - that should be gomphocarpus moby dick.....

wonder what's on menu?

just off for a lovely walk in the park with the hound - enjoy x

the celebration of life

or in other words:

floral tributes, funeral flowers, however you term it, flowers can & do make a difference when we have to say good bye to the ones we love


from friends & neighbours, colleagues or acquaintances, the wording on the card & choice of flowers are a chance to send a message to say "we care" "we'll miss them" "sorry"....

for the families, loved-ones & close friends, it can be a focus for the service or ceremony - beautiful flowers adorning the coffin.

with our love

flowers & other shop talk

ranunculus and certainly one of our favourite flowers

from the pastel 'dolly mixture' varieties to these big white poppy type flowers

pots of hellebores & pansies

camelias, scented narcissus, hyacinths & herbs

are adorning the steps of the shop - enjoying the sunshine

the cellar is filled - and I mean filled

there are flowers everywhere - you'd think we had a busy weekend ahead of us

I did get a bit over excited with the peonies and solomon seal

(polygonatum multiflorum don't you know)

lets hope the sun keeps shining

of for a walk around the park with the woofs then of to the pictures

have a lovely evening
