Two types of peony Warm temperatures and downpours this week have brought everything on quickly in the garden. We planted a lot of seedlings at the plot over the weekend including zinnia, sweet williams, cornflowers, cosmos, carnations, sweet peas, antirrhinum, and stocks and some have put on a lot of growth already. The coral peonies in this week's posy are popping open before our eyes. There's another peony variety tucked in there too called Shirley Temple, a double rose pink bloom. These ones are a lot tighter so should take a little longer to open up. Keep a look out!I'm going to be creating another yellow and blue themed posy for delivery 10th June. All proceeds from the sales will...
How can I help Ukraine with flowers? Blue for the sky and yellow for the fields of wheat, Ukraine's flag is colourful and distinctive. With the crisis in Ukraine continuing and with your help, I have decided to dedicate another posy week to support the humanitarian crisis. I will create a blue and yellow British flower posy for delivery date June 10th 2022. As before, all proceeds will go to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

Maybe cornflowers, iris, delphiniums, sunflowers... We'll just have to see what's ready for picking that week! If you'd like to receive...
In it to win it! We are a small business in Dorset, growing flowers and sourcing flowers from other British growers. Every week we create a new composition using the best of what is available that week. We've been going for over five years and no two weeks have ever been the same!

Flowers have been exchanged as gifts ever since the Ancient Egyptian times. They are given in celebration of a special occasion, to make someone feel happier and cared for, to lift spirits in illness or after a bereavement and as a symbol of love and affection. Flower bouquets are given as a one-off gesture and to provide instant joy and impact to the recipient. A flower subscription is different as the recipient continues to receive flowers at regular intervals for a set period of time or from that point onwards. Typically it best suits someone who is a "real flower-lover". The great thing about a flower subscription is that it is a thoughtful way to show ongoing affection for the recipient from the giver. It is a...
