As I write this it's pouring down, and with the first quarter of the year behind us, it’s felt long and cold. We’re hopeful for the promise of warmer dryer days as we head into a new month, maybe we should try a sun-dance on mass!!
With longer and sunnier days on the way this brings new beginnings in a flower shop. May is the official month of the most beautiful Peony. Their layers upon layers of petals make them a firm favourite especially with Brides.
Lilac is also a strong May contender along with Lily of the valley. The French give this delicate but
incredibly scented flower to a loved one or family member on the 1st of May, it’s a symbol of good luck for the upcoming year.
Lily of the valley grows lovely in a garden, forming a dense mat of wandering roots, its heavenly scent makes it a wonderful cut flower and it’s great for ground cover, keeping the pesky weeds away……we’re all for that!!
