Florists pottery

Pre market Friday and the pottery room is transformed

into a florists.

I pick many buckets of flowers during the week,

and store in the cool room.

Then I get them all out and start to make my bunches.

I get to look at all the colours and consider what will work. 

I love parsley flowers and choose to add the in mix

They have a fresh green look with delicate fireworks feel to them

Featured here with yellow correopsis and asparagus fern.

Real asparagus fern that would be edible asparagus if I kept 

it trimmed to ground level.

Just like the weeds, it gets away from me.

The blue larkspur has started to self seed in the flower garden.

I will encourage this.

Foxgloves are a new thing I am growing. 

Unsure if they will cope with our climate.

Alstromerias do very well at this time of year.

Shame that yellow is not a popular flower colour.

Here is a new alstromeria that I could not resist 

at the nursery this week.

It is called Indian summer.

Prefers part shade which is good as I have a spot like that.

Ready and waiting.

The  view from the pottery door

Not the vibrant colour of early spring...

I will have to find something for summer.
