It's the first day of (meteorological) Spring today - hurray! 🎉

Rather confusingly...
..meteorological seasons are divided up according to weather rhythms and the Gregorian calendar (which we started using here in Britain in 1752)...
..but astronomical seasons are based on the position of the earth in relation to the sun

Astronomical spring will start on 20th March this year

No doubt thats why there's always some debate about when the seasons 'officially' start 😊

It's also Saint David's Day today - the patron saint of Wales. So here's some dandy daffodils to celebrate!

I love growing the more unusual varieties of daffodil - like this 'Peaches and Cream', which has a beautiful delicate apricot coloured centre - or the frilly double varieties.

Happy Saint David's Day to you, if you're celebrating today! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Some joyful event flowers all tucked up in tissue and ready to go 🌼

These mini vase arrangements include; beautifully scented ‘paperwhite’ and ‘Soleil d’Or’ narcissi, dainty pittosporum, box, sweet bay, viburnum tinus foliage, and stems of honeysuckle.

We’ve grown and loved these sweet Narcissi flowers for a very long time here in the UK…

…They were first introduced by the Romans and by the 18th century were incredibly popular (think romantic poetry, cottage gardens and untamed landscapes!)

By the 19th century we’d started farming daffodils as cut flowers. Now the UK is the world’s largest grower of daffodils.

Over the centuries, daffodils have been given many different common names, including ‘daffodowndillys’, ‘yellow maidens’, ‘Peter’s Leeks’, and - a Yorkshire name - ‘Lenten lilies’. Have you heard of any others? ☺️

They’re so uplifting! It’s no wonder they are considered a symbol of hope and joy ♥️

Happy Friday!

Feeling all the love today …

But when did this tradition of giving and receiving flowers on the 14th February start?

Quite simply, flowers symbolise the beauty and fragility of love ❤️

Flowers have been given on Valentine’s Day for centuries - since at least the 1700s…

…Lovers would purchase posies or nosegays from ‘Flowergirls’, who sold their wares in the street, or would simply pick something beautiful from the hedgerow or an obliging garden ☺️

My garden- gathered style bouquets are a homage to those early pledges of love and devotion

What a transformation!

It’s time for me to pre sprout some more of these little alien-like creatures…

They start off looking very peculiar indeed- but end up oh so delicate and beautiful, with amazingly intricate centres ☺️

Anemones- one of my favourite springtime flowers ♥️. What do you think?

These dry, spider-like creatures may look fairly uninteresting but...
..come springtime they will have produced gorgeously ruffly ranunculus!

While my October started ranunculus grow away in the tunnel, I'm pre-sprouting some more ranunculus corms today

So hopefully I'll have a succession of these stunning blooms to use in my spring weddings and gift bouquets - hurray to that! ❤️

And just like that, it’s 2025 …

As the twinkly Christmas decorations come down and the cold, hard graft commences in the cutting patch, I’m really appreciating the little frosted details ♥️

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️

It’s the shortest day of the year and the beginning of astronomical winter (according to the meteorological calendar, winter began on 1st December ☺️)

I managed to get my garland up just in time to celebrate and enjoy the longest night - and the promise of those longer, lighter days to come …

With dried daucus seed heads and teasels for some detail and texture

Wreathing in the power cut 😄

My lovely mum taught floristry for many years and is a absolute seasoned pro at wreathing…

… not sure she’s ever wreathed with a head torch on before though 🤔

Hope everyone is managing to stay safe and warm during storm darragh

If you’re out and about today in the Wolds, we’re at North Frodingham Summer Fayre… Enjoying the sunshine, cakes and ice cream (maybe the bouncy castle later…) Selling my freshly cut flowers, organic lavender and natural, chemical free dried flowers 💐 Esther x 📷 Birdy C #yorkshirewolds #northfrodingham #summer #villagelife #freshflowers #locallygrown #locallygrownflowers #chemicalfree

I’m a little bit in love with these China Asters that have just started flowering… This variety of China Aster (or Callistephus chinensis) is called ‘Tower Chamois’ - in a stunning Apricot blush shade 😍 The seed for this sumptuous bloom was brought over to Europe from China by French missionaries in 1728. We’ve been swooning over them ever since… These beauties will be going in my garden-gathered bouquets and DIY wedding buckets this week ☺️ 👉 DM or message to order yours Esther x #freshflowers #cottagegarden #locallygrown #locallygrownflowers #chinaaster #britishflowers #seasonalflowers #organicallygrown #nochemicals #beautiful #blooms #flowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerlovers #buylocal #local #localbusiness #microflowerfarm #cutflowers #inmygarden #inmygardentoday #igrewthis #driffield #huttoncranswick #beverley #eastyorkshire #eastridingofyorkshire
