Posies for Wigtown Market which I delivered this morning. Scott has kindly found room for them on his busy stall. His goods were much in demand this morning and I was pleased to get my weekly supply of asparagus. I don’t usually buy it once the British grown crop has finished, so it’s a real treat for me every spring.

Jam jar posies delivered to The Hive this morning and as usual they will be on sale today and tomorrow. £10 each. I still have lots of tulips and some of the later flowering narcissi. I love this colour combination of primrose yellow, cream and white and fresh green.

Another trio of jam jar posies. Spring in a jar! These went off to Wigtown Market this morning to Scott and Nickie’s fruit and vegetable stall. The asparagus last week was so delicious I bought some this week as well!

Jam jar posies for Galloway Heathers Garden Centre, on sale today and tomorrow at £10 each. I used lots of tulips, both single and double varieties. I love all tulips, but the doubles are especially stunning. When they are fully open they resemble a rose or a peony. I cut these while they were still in bud yesterday. The posy in the front has the very first of my beautifully scented garden pinks. I tried to grow these in beds outside for years but often they did not survive the wet winters. We get a lot of rain here in Glentrool! I grow them in pots now and keep them under cover.

It happens every year. My tulips are just coming into flower and as soon as the weather turns warmer they all come out at once. I was cutting flowers earlier today to go to Galloway Heathers Garden Centre tomorrow, but these were too far out. They will be gracing my kitchen table for the next few days. I still managed to cut some tulips at the right stage for tomorrow’s posies.

These three little lovelies went off to The Hive in Glentrool Village this morning where they will be on sale for the rest of today and tomorrow. £10 each. My tulips are just getting into their stride and I have used some here, both single and double varieties.

Another three jam jar posies. I used the first of my snake’s head fritillaries for these. They are so pretty and dainty. These went to Wigtown Market this morning where Scott and Nickie have kindly found room for them on their fruit and vegetable stall. What a joy it is to be able to buy British grown asparagus again. So delicious with homemade Hollandaise sauce!

More jam jar posies with flowers from my garden. These three are off to Galloway Heathers in Minnigaff, Newton Stewart this morning, where they will be on sale today and tomorrow. They would brighten up anyone’s day on a dull, rainy Friday such as we are having today.

I absolutely love daffodils. There are seven daffodils in the song, but how about a hundred? I will be delivering these on Good Friday, April 3rd. £30 for 100 gorgeous blooms, double and scented varieties and including the glass vase and local delivery to Newton Stewart, Wigtown and surrounding areas. They will be delivered in bud or just beginning to open as they last longer harvested this way and it’s lovely to watch them coming out in the vase. Please see my website www.flowersoftheforest15.co.uk for contact details. Last orders by 10pm Wednesday night. Wishing everyone a Happy Easter.
