Hello everybody,
Another week and another flush of flowers.

We are getting to the end of the tulips (already!). We have the late flowering varieties coming into bloom.
You can expect to see some of these, such as the hilariously named Negligee tulip (pink and white with a frilled edge) and Katinka ( a silvery pink peony variety, and a personal favourite) stall this weekend.

Mid-spring is also when the ranunculus, trollius and the notorious buttercup (a surprisingly fantastic cut flower) come into their own. Expect lots of tissue-paper petals this week.

I look forward to seeing you all there.
