Last of '24 roundup of seasonal British flowers! August to December.
As you can see using British flowers means shopping around, using all the glorious and ever-changing available at the time! One of my pleasures is the challenge of a mixed bucket, creating from all the wonders found in a bucket!
Of course the main feature is my daughter and her partners' wedding, I don't think I have mentioned it before!! 😅 All flowers by the fantabulous Fiona .
The next most memorable is finding chrysanthemums locally in November! Amazing and lasted almost a month! From
The dahlias were pyo from , and the gorgeous peach pink etc. mix from , also the start of my winter supply from .
Thank you all. Looking forward to '25!

More Best of British! April to July '24
These are the most abundant months, full of variety shape and colour .....I grow a few flowers in my own garden which sometimes appear in my work, love my roses but I will admit I am a little reluctant to cut them! This year I plan to try some different annuals, however I will never be able to produce the likes of the above by and !!

January to March '24: All British Flowers....it is possible to supply year round flowers; sometimes there may be a limited palette but to go all British you need to take whatever there is available! As you can see they are always beautiful.
A personal thank you to 'my farmers' who supplied last year

My very talented brother made this amazing clock for my lounge.....I might have to remove the second hand as it moves soo quickly that I am constantly reminded just how quickly time goes by.... there is the quote; (don't know who said it) the one that says we should live every minute! Blimey! I can only just form the first word of a sentence in about 15 seconds! So I won't be making the most of each second/minute exactly but I do need to appreciate and make the most of my time!
Here's to a very Happy New Year to All! 😄

Lunchtime Challenge!: ok so I was procrastinating.... avoiding wrapping, shopping and preparation!
I gave myself half an hour to use leftover pine and other bits + a few bits from my garden. Now I'm not claiming that it will last the coming wind and rain but it was an exercise with no pressure or stress!

FIVE GREEN RINGS!! It's a wrap...The last Workshop this year. A big thank you to all who came, some were year 2's! What a creative bunch, all beautiful and all very different!

I like to take photos during construction as it shows up things I wouldn't necessarily see ....it is intended to be wild btw, but one half works better than the other! Need to have a tweak....

The village garden club had their wreath making evening; they brought their own foliage and decorations. I showed them how to apply the moss on the willow base, hard work but everyone managed it! Then they were off with their foliage, I answered snagging questions on how to make the foliage base stay and achieve the look they wanted...I hope they all enjoyed their evening, I know I did!
Each wreath is completely individual and different from each other; wonderful!!

No 1 Wreath Workshop, from scratch, these girls worked very hard! Here is Sophie's beautiful wreath, how gorgeous it looks on her blue door!

It's officially Wreath Season! I delivered to the lovely Sam White of Secret Escape, Hair Stylist at Clopton Farm today, the family home and other businesses are situated in a great spot with farm and exotic animals, it's a far cry from having a hair cut in Cambridge! No trying to beat traffic and park....Sam is a very experienced and talented hair stylist so call the number on the door! (Excuse my ghostly presence in the background!)

I don't know why British flower farmers don't grow more chrysanthemums, there are so many varieties, colours and types! And they should be the mainstay at the end of the season!
They seem pretty hardy, no flowers last as long in centrally heated homes, my customer placed this vase on a table close to a window, which is a double whammy for flower longevity.....
Wreaths can last for many weeks, even through ice and frost, depending on the ingredients used...some of my customers put them in the garden for the birds once done for Christmas.
You will need to water or spritz your wreath if it gets dry, (water sparingly from the back, spritz from the front) when the weather is damp it will be fine unless strong winds dry it out!
I'm taking orders for wreaths, made to order with colours of your choice! Leave a message here or email [email protected].

More lovely chrysanthemums from
This is for my front door, mainly as an experiment to see how it holds up.....well it's had a good soak now!
How long will it last with a small porch roof but open to the elements??
I think the chrysanths will start to lose their petals in a couple of days but it will mostly be intact at the weekend.....of course it depends entirely on the great british weather!
As soon as a flower is cut from the mother plant basically it begins to die....if it is placed straight in water and allowed to condition in peace and quiet away from direct sunlight, it stands a chance of surviving.
I wonder which type of flower lasts the longest out of water?!

Different angles different looks....
Last of the chrysanthemums this year from .Love the bronzes, pinky/reds and burgundy tones with a splash of zesty lime/lemon!
I will be continuing through winter, as usual, using Cornish wholesalers. Sadly the prices have gone up, as has everything else! The scented narcissi are back, along with anemones, kafirs and tulips are just starting.Lots of wreathing and wreaths made by me with fresh and dried flowers,grasses etc.... early ordering is good for me!

A small miracle happened this week! I found some British grown flowers, local! In November?! The wonderful Peta , what a great discovery! She even met me halfway to pick up!
Love these spider chrysanthemums, ranging from acid green/yellow, through bronzish red to pinish burgundy!
Now, chrysanthemums get a bad press apparently, so let's stop the discrimination! They are incredible flowers! Variable sizes , shapes and huge colour variation. They flower into late autumn/early winter and are incredibly hardy. As a British only florist ANY flowers grown locally are an absolute wonder! I have never managed to get hold of any before, but I think they are slowly gaining popularity......👍

Ugh this is starting to feel like the trump effect. Local groups have been campaigning for years, I always hoped that this ridiculous plan would not reach fruition......but it's getting way too close for comfort. Environmentally friendly? I think not! Economically friendly to local government? I don't think so! It will cost billions for a journey improved by only 3 mins on average..... but
All those habitats will be gone forever, the animals and insects will not hang around! no lush green fields and our village peace will be shattered.....criminal....
It may make a difference to sign the petition , you gotta try! www.cotonbuswayaction.com

Had to make a starter to get my hand in ready for the imminent wreath season! I used bits from my garden, and from a friend's, with a few dried helichrysum.
It looks kinda fruity rather than autumnal!
Game changer, don't know why I didn't use a wreath hook before, so much easier to see how it hangs as you go along....,🤔🙄

06/11/2024

A throwback to '23, I made this wild one for myself but unfortunately within days it was destroyed by the gales! Big is not necessarily best! Also too many traily bits look nice but can not withstand high winds. Outdoor wreaths need to be more compact! Lesson learned.....
