A Profusion of Purple...

The morning light tip toes across the shop's concrete floor and gently nudges awake each bloom.

French Lilac, Helleborus, Anemones, Freesia, Kangaroo Paw and Gloriosa Lilies.

Even their names hint at the promise of things to come.

Such is the beauty of flowers...

I first saw Kangaroo Paw in Boston more than a decade ago. It was the deepest crimson brown in colour; 

I had never seen anything so fanciful. The soft buds were both delicate and furry to the touch and I couldn't help but wonder why nature created something so whimsical. Do you know?

Seeing the branches arrive, with drops of sunshine at their tips, makes me grin and reminds me of a childhood rhyme; I love that we have it in the shop this week. Of course in limited quantities just for you.

“I think I’m losing control of the whole world.” – Charlie Brown

Whenever I see Charlie Brown Cymbidium Orchids I am assailed by the Peanuts quotes that made up my life: Growing up, I lived in a world coloured in by my imagination, struggling to be restrained. Flowers do that to me. What do flowers do to you?
