Last year, each month, I gave a couple of buckets of flowers with a theme to a talented florist. Their brief to make what they liked to show off the flowers. All of them only got a couple of days notice of what they were likely to be getting.
Eucalyptus, Silvery foliage for winter movement
The British Weather, and how it affects flower growing
January at Hilltop Farm
Saracococca, Scent for a January Sunday
How to edit photos for a perfect white background
Narcissus Styling
Alstroemeria, all year round beauty
Alstroemeria, the Peruvian lily, is available from British growers all through the year, in a whole range of colours. From soft whites, creams and peaches, through to bright pinks, purples and almost brash oranges.
For that reason alone they should be part of any British flower florist's arsenal of front line flowers.
