Sunday Flowers 🌸🌻🍊 ...

bringing me much joy ; filling a Vase with excess Stems and ones I like to try at Home , including this beautiful Dahlia 'April Heather' 🌸🌻🍊.

I love playing with colour , as well as texture and form . I love how so many of these Blooms pick-up on different tones of each other . Maybe not the blue/lilac of the Scabious so much , but then they add pops of contrast 🌸🌻🍊 .

I am going to try saving seed of 'April Heather' and see what absolute Beauties She produces ! How exciting , thank you to and Stuart .nut for the inspiration 🤗 .

Enjoy your Sunday .

From Field to Vase in less than 12 hours ! 🌻

My Flowers are still absolutely incredible , and in this morning's light , so magical . I took some time to admire them waking-up through the early morning mist , adorned with cobwebs and dew-drops 🌻 .

The sun quickly shone through and I gathered glorious Stems to create beautiful Bunches , that are now available for You at Rudge Heath General Stores 🌻 .

I am so grateful to my Plants , their tenacity is just amazing , whilst their beauty continues to shine bright 🌻 .

Thank you , enjoy your Weekend , love from Jacqueline 🌻 .

Hello ! I hope You are All OK after last night's biblical rain ! ☀

Here are some of my beautiful Stems and Flowers ; some from last week , some from this week ! ☀

Amazing Alstroemeria , Asters and Abelia , dancing Bidens and Daisies of Boltonia asteroides , winding Coronilla , charming Cosmos , cheeky Cynoglossum happy Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' , and , yes , Orlaya ! ☀

(Which refused to germinate in Autumn and is now popping-up where I sprinkled the compost and its seeds ! 😉 )

More Perennials coming out to play now , which is so endearing , while Annuals provide us with their seeds to shed naturally and save for successions of beauty next year , how wonderful ☀ .

Enjoy your Day 🤗 .

We're still growing strong at Haven Flowers ! 🌻 ...

Amazingly , my incredible Stems are still producing the most adorable Stems for You and Me to swoon over ! I am so grateful to my Plants , they are so tenacious ! They teach me a thing or two ! 🌻

I have some fabulous Autumn perennials coming into their own now , including Boltonia and Leucanthemella that I purchased from at last year's Malvern Autumn Show , and I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow ! 🌻

Meanwhile , my dancing Stems await You at Rudge Heath General Stores on the Bridgnorth to Wolverhampton Road . I hope You manage to treat Yourselves to a gorgeous Bunch , or simply enjoy them on here 🌻 .

Happy Autumn to You ! 🍂 My Babies are still 'dancing and singing in the rain' ! 🎶

We are at the Autumn Equinox today , so get ready to slow-down and cosy-down if You can 🤗 . I love this time of year for giving us that opportunity , and for the turning of bright summer colours to more earthly hues 🍁 .

These are excess Stems and trial Stems that I like to bring Home with me after cutting ; each one beautiful in their own right , and , by chance , rather lovely together too ! 🌈 .

Enjoy your Sunday and the cosiest , comfiest of Autumns to You ☕ . Love Jacqueline 🌻

All freshly restocked at Rudge Heath General Stores 🌸 .

I have loved creating these different , colour-themed Bouquets . Blending colour , texture and form , so lovely . I have used some of my new Daucus 'Dara' , Snaps 'Potomac Appleblossom' and the stunning stems of Acidanthera .

She is a type of Gladiolus , with slender , drooping , white Flowers with a dark inner-marking ; I have loved pairing Her with the 'black-cherry' dark Scabious ('Black Knight) and the white-and-lilac form of Catananche . The fresher , raspberry-red Scabious compliments the 'Appleblossom' Snaps nicely , as does simply fresh green , e.g. young heads of Ammi visnaga !

Happy Days at Haven Flowers 💚 , enjoy your Bank Holiday Weekend ! 💚

🌸💚🌿

22/08/2024

I so enjoyed cutting and creating this Vase Arrangement today for my dear regular Customer Tracy 🌻 .

The colours and forms came together so beautifully , starting with Sunflower 'Desert Sun' that we have grown this year at Farmcote Flowers 🌻 .

It's a gorgeous blend of maroon and deep yellow , so I added some 'Vanilla Ice' Sunflowers , my jewel-like Daucus 'Dara' and dingle-dangles of Nicotiana langsdorfii 'Lemon Tree' ! 🍋 Plus other Stems that beautifully continued the theme 🌻 .

Tracy had been to the Beyond Van Gogh Exhibition at the NEC this morning , so it all seemed rather apt and very lovely 🌻 .

Thank you Tracy 🌻

Happy Friday Folks ! ☀ ... My Flowers are now at Rudge Heath General Stores , popped inside , out of the gorgeous Sunshine ! ☀

Gosh it's been a windy day up at Haven Flowers today , but I must say that I think the Flowers fair better than I do ! 🙃 Amazing as they are 🌻 . I have put some extra supports in , in the form of branches that Jonathan had already cut from His Birch , Alder and Hazel Trees ; they work a treat ! Sustainability all the way at Havenhills ☀🌻💛 .

Enjoy your Friday evening and have a wonderful weekend 🤗 .

Hello , I've posted on Stories today , a video of the beautiful Flowers that I have cut this morning from the Field at Haven Flowers . Here are some photos of these gorgeous Stems in more detail for You 💚 .

Amazingly , we are around a year since I visited Karen & Jonathan at Havenhills Farm , and we began discussions regarding me possibly growing Flowers on an area of their Land ! Thank you , Thank you to You Both Mr & Mrs HB , you've made Dreams come True ! 💚

I think these Stems really show my kind of Style ; very natural , free-flowing , garden-gathered and very , very beautiful 💚 .

These Stems include Agastache , Ammi , Catananche , Cornflowers , Cosmos , Lucerne , Scabious and Mallow . I shall be making them into beautiful Bouquets for You tomorrow , how wonderful ! 💚

💚💚💚

07/08/2024

Alex and I are smitten with these adorable mixed Viscaria oculata that we've grown for the first time this year at Farmcote Flowers 🌸 .

They are quite mesmerising and hold themselves beautifully once cut , with their buds continuing to open ! 🌸

I have also grown Vaccaria hispanica (Saponaria) 'Pink Beauty' at Haven Flowers , which is as equally adorable and fabulous 🌸 .

Both are available from , with plenty per packet . I will definitely be growing each of these again next Season , how exciting ! 🌸

🌸🌸🌸

04/08/2024

Some of my beautiful Flowers and Foliage that I brought Home with me this week to see how they get on in the Vase ... absolutely gloriously , I'd say ! 💚

I have (re) tested the tall Stems and delicate Daisies of the Erigeron annuus , plus my wonderfully scented Agastache 'Liquorice White' and , what I spotted in the Farm Field at Havenhills , this amazing Lucerne ! 💚

Cosmos appear to continue developing their central area of Flowers once they are cut , try to catch them just as the bloom has opened , when that central disc is still flat , not domed (as with all Daisy-type Flowers) , and if they're gorgeous heads droop over the edge of the vase , give them a quick sear in just boiled water and up they pop ! 💚

Well I'm a very happy Bunny , hope You are too this Sunday 💚 .

(Florists , if You would like some of this fabulous , lacy Lucerne Foliage , do DM me .) (I've popped a video up in Stories btw.)

💚💚💚
