Up early to ribbon off the bouquets. Loved this wedding, used Blue Curiosa and Ocean Song roses with lisianthus. There was a moment of confusiontrying to find my bride in her hotel (unbeknown to me she had checked in under her married name!)....flowers safely delivered then off to the marquee for the finishing touches.
Spent the afternoon wandering through Pashley Manor Gardens in Ticehurst. Absolutely stunning and thoroughly worth a vist. It is famed for its tulips which, despite their season coming to an end, were glorious and ever so tempting. My favourite was a stunning orange with a lovely pointy petal called Dordogne to mix with the deepest black varieties.
Looking forward to pottering in the garden tomorrow, might even give the shed a lick of paint.
When the first flower bulbs poke their heads toward the sun,
ReplyDeleteGolden daffodils, hyacinths, too;
When the brown grass turns green, and the wildflowers bloom,
Then sweet Spring makes its showy debut.
Once again we awake from cold winter's pale dream,
As our minds and our bodies revive;
We rejoice and delight in spring’s colorful sight;
Each new spring makes us glad we’re alive!
