I used to be a foliage boy. I’ve changed (well, a bit). In the past I saw flowers as extravagant, expensive purchases that didn’t last for more than a couple of days. Now I grow my own – especially the flowers I like – my world is different. Bringing flowers into the house is fun and highlights the strength, colour and architecture of each flower – particularly the Dahlias I love. Fresh, they last for ages too. There’s something so precious about a flower in a little vase. Showing off each individual flower was my key discovery, rather than losing them in a large bunch. Focus on fewer stems is purer, bringing out the fragility and wonder. Here are some of our cut flowers from our garden and allotment this year.
Gothica
Punk
Neon tetra

Beautiful displays. Ade and I have always lamented the lack of baked beans in modern floral design – well done for rectifying this! S x 😉
It’s a missed opportunity, beans go with everything! 😀
Wonderful!
Thanks Julieanne!
Amazing!
