What a mad week! Mainly because of the heat and the dry weather meaning very early starts and very late finishes … if you didn’t know, flower harvesting and watering can only happen at these times. It gets a bit exhausting! But just LOOK…
This week was such a great week of different orders that really showcase how diverse British flowers are - and all during .flowers.week !
From wholesale orders, to gift bouquets for delivery, to flower buckets for anniversary parties and for bright festival-vibe weddings.
And to top it all off, lots of lovely people voted me as best Norfolk florist in the Muddy Stilettos Muddy Stilettos | Norfolk 2026 awards. I felt a bit embarrassed about that at the time of announcement, but as I wandered around the field of flowers that I’ve grown, selecting my choice of an interesting mix of varieties, cutting them at the correct stage for longevity in the vase, prepping and hydrating them, putting them together into a hand-tied bouquet, then gently wrapping them and taking them to their recipient, I actually felt quite proud. This isn’t just a bouquet I’ve put together, but it’s one I’ve grown from seed.
But British flowers really speak for themselves. The more varieties in the mix, the better IMO, for a really naturalist, wild and super pretty vibe.
Hopefully below is a concise list of what I was cutting last week. And if you’re interested in learning more about cut flowers, there’s just one place left on next Monday’s course. Link in bio …
