Ardleigh Flowers

A little different to flowers, however, he deserves a space on the grid!
As I'm walking past the goat's willow, brushing my hands against the leaves, I find not only one but TWO of these adorable-looking plant-destroying beasts that turn into a puss moth, yes they are native to the UK, but i haven't seen them before. So here we are... so annoyingly cute! 🥹

Here she comes...
Truth be told, I struggle to grow sunflowers 🫠, this one is at my allotment where it's thrived, and I have a wholesome 3 there! 😂 the ones at Ardleigh are another story! They never want to grow above my knee! However this variety, I tried to grow last year, but then the slugs ate them, this year I've been rewarded with 3 good stems and plenty of bud vase stems!
There's always next year! 🥲

Darwin Golden Parade, yellow green combo 💛 with tall sturdy stems. I was a little dubious at first, but its creamy yellow with a green tinge is a winner for me. 😍

A premium order went out today, consisting of la belle epoque, silk road, and ultra long anemones... which makes a pretty special combination! And what makes this even better is that no chemicals have been involved in the making of these beautiful flowers.
I am in love with these tones! 😍

Slightly in love with this Salmon Van Eijk tulip... the soft but crisp tone is just (mwah!). Tulip availability and price list are now available! la belle epoque and silk road, to name a few!

hosted an amazing living wreath workshop on Saturday, where all products used were locally sourced and grown by herself. I had the pleasure of being an assistant and finally meeting .flowers.and.sundries base. A little hidden gem is all I can say...

I know i can't get too excited by this as I will have to debud 🥲 only for this season and next... as you can see I potted the peonies, whilst I was waiting for my beds to fill which they have now... so now to carefully put them into the ground next week into their forever bed!

Well, for those of you who know me... I'm an all or nothing kinda gal! 3 wholesome cubic square meters of enriched topsoil delivered to the allotment today! Which will fill my raised beds for the allotment! Yes, I know it's not the flower patch, but it was too good not to share! The smell, tho... 🤤
