Petal & Twig

School holidays and the kids and I are down South with family. There was a good frost this morning so we got out to capture its beauty and experience the crunch of grass under foot and break ice in the puddles.
Back home the plants were all tucked away under covers before we left.

Mānawatia a Matariki from my whānau to yours. Hoping you’re taking this day to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and plan for the year. This is a special cake our daughter baked to celebrate the day. ✨

There you have it folks the last plethora of petals (what is the collective noun for bouquets?) heading out for the season to Forage Merchants of Wellington. Thank you all again for your support this season!
Now the really dirty work begins, clearing, prepping and planting for spring!

I love the curved in spirally detail of this Chrysanthemum’s petals. She is in with lots of others in tomorrow’s bouquets for .
Sadly this will be my last weekend of flowers. The last of the summer plants need to come out so the spring ones can go in.
To everyone who has supported me this season, be it buying my flowers, liking or sharing my posts, or listening to my endless plant talk, a massive thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chrysanthemums! Just as summer’s beauties the dahlias and cosmos are ending their run, the Chrysanthemums step up to keep my bouquets looking lush. Love how every season has its own star bloom. Heading to now.

Friday Forage Flowers! Mixing it up and supplying flowers to today. Between end of term activities and wanting to get ahead of the rain I thought it best to do the flowers when they were at their best. So get into Forage today for a flower fix.

A few of today’s flowers heading to Forage Merchants of Wellington now.
Have a great weekend everyone. We’ve got two birthdays here, which means way more cake than I need in my house. 😆🍰

Still time to brighten up your (hopefully long) weekend. Bouquets available until 2pm at Forage Merchants of Wellington.

02/02/2024

The Cosmos is in full bloom. Maybe I didn’t use enough in the other bouquets or maybe I planted too much. 🤔😆 Either way I made this bunch of only Cosmos. I think there’s a beautiful simplicity to a bouquet of only one variety of flower.
(But if it’s not your thing all other bunches at Forage Merchants of Wellington today are my normal mixed bouquets.)
