I love fresh flowers. I have so many favourite flowers and these include Astrantia and Cosmos, Scabiosa and their beautiful architectural seedheads and this includes the intricate Papaver seedheads, Skimmia, & Sedum, Roses and Ranunculus, Nigella and Muscari, Hellebores and Eryngiums. There are so many. I love the textures, the forms and the contrasts you can get when you create designs. I love working through the seasons of flowers and appreciating the scent of the garden Roses and the herbs that can be used alongside them; the strong scent of Eucalyptus and the beautiful colour harmonies inspired by the seasons.
I also like to challenge myself by entering flower competitions and even more challenging, I get enormous pleasure in crafting my own floral stands and containers.
