July Flowers

    Holly-Bee in July

    It’s been a while since I posted about our garden, it’s looking wonderful; all the hard work is paying off, and rewarding us with armfuls of beautiful flowers… Here are just a few pictures of the latest goings on, both in the flower garden and studio- enjoy!

    The Rose Garden

    Roses… wonderful, wonderful Roses. My favourite flower(probably). The scent is just  intoxicating, the colours and variants in tones and textures are beautiful. The luxury they add to arrangements is second to none, and have I mentioned the scent already?!

    This year, in a very soggy February, we moved and planted lots of bare- root roses in our flower garden at Holly-Bee. I think we can now say we have a Rose ‘area’, with over 120 bushes, and after that initial hard work of planting and pruning, the payoff is here.  It’s my ‘happy place’ to go to,  with the roses all flowering away, and the scent heady in the air.

    In a moment of deadheading I made up a bouquet and tried to capture the beauty of these blooms, with a little help from Buzz (our lovely spaniel puppy/dog).

    April Flowers

    On the first of May, I’m looking back to April… It’s been a busy month for the flower garden at Holly-Bee. Lots and lots of gardening; weeding, mulching, sowing seeds, pricking out, potting on… All getting ready for the season ahead. But there’s  also a fair bit of picking and using our flowers too, which has been wonderful. The tulips are now coming thick and fast and are so beautiful, especially the parrot types- such amazing textures and colours!

    The anemones and ranunculus are still going strong and are now joined by Icelandic poppies, lots of delicate blossom and branches of hornbeam and hazel. These combined together create a perfect vision of spring!
