Believe It or Not - Summer is Here and so are the Summer Flowers!
Summer Begins on 1st May
I am writing this, looking up through a roof light, watching and hearing the rain fall down heavily. But do not be fooled, summer is here - well, in my world it is anyway!
Our spring products have now left the website and we have swiftly move into the delights of summer flowers. For all fans of the beautiful peony, it’s good news for you!
The five products that you will see returning to our website are shown below and you can click on their names to order them.
Interestingly, different people have different perceptions of what colour summer flowers are and it seems to be divided 50:50. Half of us think of the pastel shades shown in the Skye bouquet with flowers such as stocks, scabious, pastel peonies, phlox and antirrhinum (snapdragons) included whereas the others think more of the sunflowers, bright peonies and tanacetum used in Coral.
If you would like to order a bespoke bouquet of flowers, an arrangement or just some cut stems, feel free to contact us on 01732 450145 or click here to see the full option of gifts we have available for delivery. (We deliver flowers, plants, plus gift packages including wine, champagne, prosecco, balloons and balloon bouquets.) In addition, you can organise a flower subscription through our website.

…. And Finally
We hope that you all have a lovely late spring and summer. With our typical British approach to the weather, I suspect that we are going to want it to be dry, but not so dry that there is a hosepipe ban and sunny, but so hot that we can’t sleep. Hopefully, somebody, somewhere will be happy with the summer of 2023!
