May Musings
May in our flower shop!
Hello flowery friends!
Somehow May always appears much quicker than i’d like it to. I dream of my favourite month of the year and as it speeds towards me; I feel a little daunted by the prospect of all my favourite flowers, appearing and disappearing all too quickly. But alas, we are here and it is always so much better than you remember. The smell of peonies, they’re indescribable magic; I don’t think they’re is a single reason as to why these flowers are so special. Being surrounded by them in May is my floral highlight of the year. Since getting married in May two years ago, the magic of the peony holds me spellbound more than ever. Salmon saucer peonies have been the best so far this year, with moonlight a close second. Soaking up every day with them, like stocking up at Easter with mini eggs.
The shop has a new light to it too, with these bright sunny days casting a little magic through the windows! We are loving being in the season of lupins, delphiniums, alliums and foxgloves. With lupins being the number most popular flowers behind peonies in the flower shop. They are a very unique flower, not sure I prefer them to foxgloves though!
I am loving being a new writer here on Substack and plan to send out a little newsletter every 2 weeks with everything we have been up to at our little shop as well as tutorials, floristry tips and general flowery info! We are open to suggestions too!!
Here are a few bts snaps of this week! Barbs and I are off to Chelsea Flower Show next week and I cannot wait! We are very proud of our friend Matt from @butlerandparker who has a garden at the show! We will bring you along with us!
Love, Lauren xxxx
