The flowers are now coming thick and fast in the garden, which has been pure joy. I thought I'd share some shots of the bridal bouquets I have created over the last few weeks.

I’m now looking forward to all the roses. Queen of Sweden has just made an appearance, so many others are in bud , it’s all very exciting.

Here are some early morning May pictures, taken before the heat and chaos of the day arrives.
I thought now is an appropriate time to celebrate the many shades of green. All of this rain has been rather challenging but looking on the bright side it certainly has turned up the green dial.
I might not have many other colours in the cutting garden right now with the cold putting everything on pause, buds are waiting to burst and me too with desperate anticipation, but at least my favourite colour is at it's spring best.
Fresh and full of promise I have been cutting plenty of Euphorbia robbiae, Sorbus whitebeam, beech, Solomon's seal, Viburnum opulus, apple mint, sweet cicely and Arum italicum to use in bouquets.
The polytunnel has a good row of Nicotiana 'Lime Green', Bupleurum and florists dill for the next wave of fresh, acid greens.
