I’m back! After a magical two week break with my beautiful family in Bali I’m back with flowers at @foursquaretemata . Will deliver to Havelock BP later this afternoon.
Enjoy! 🩷
Textural large wreath on twisted hazel base. Starting to think about Mother’s Day so will be making a stash of these 🥰 Best to order ahead if you think your mum might like one 🌺
My happy place. Seed saving is so satisfying #seedsaving #poppyseeds #abundance
And so it begins….. first of the dried flowers for season 2021/2022 😀💜
Just me and my dog planting a few tulip bulbs 🐶🌷 Such an optimistic task. So much promise and hope in those fat little orbs! Looking forward to welcoming old friends back and there are a few new varieties too 😀🌟🌷 #tulipfever #springflowers
Thank you for braving the cold this morning ladies! The Flower Shed was a hive of activity with another Dried Flower Wreath Making Workshop. We focussed in on some design principles that really elevate the creative process and wow what amazing results! Beautifully constructed Eco wreaths using My Flower Cart dried flowers. Such a lovely chilled morning. You should all be so proud of your work 😀❤️ 🌸🌟#myflowercartworkshops #driedflowerwreaths #driedflowers #ecowreaths #wreathworkshops
I got lots of questions about why I pull my tulips when I posted this video on my stories the other day. So I’m posting again with an explanation. Tulips need a very cold period in order to produce premium blooms. They also need food to feed the bulb in order to flower the following year. I live in an area where winters are very mild so tulip bulbs don’t get that period of cold that they need resulting in stunted tulips. Also, if I cut the tulip stem I invariable cut off quite a few leaves. These leaves provide the bulb with food so if they’re cut off the bulb doesn’t get the nutrients it needs to produce fabulous blooms the following year. I also get quite a bit more stem length when I pull by the bulb which florists really appreciate. Hope that all makes sense! Having said all that you can overwinter your tulips in a mild winter area if you bury them deeply. I have some that I don’t cut and they come back beautifully every year. Tulips at Havelock BP today if you’d like a bunch of Spring on your kitchen table 😀🌷😀🌷😀🌷
Early morning bouquet making. Nice way to start the day 😊
One of today’s bouquets. The best of Spring. I like to incorporate a little drama into my bouquets if I can. The peonies are tucked down a bit so will put on a bit of a show as they slowly open. And that poppy? Well, deserves an Oscar surely 😊 💜
