Hello October. Just a simple appreciation of my favourite flower, the Japanese anemone in the autumn light.

Equinox - written in Sussex

Twilight season lingers in the in-between
With shimmering popcorn leaves
Dappled sunlight, filtering through trees

We float in the moment
Of no longer summer yet not quite autumn

Crisp morning sun rays
And glistening dew dropped petals
Give way to a warm and balmy day

Hello equinox
A sombre season
A transition between life and death
Beautiful decay for a reason

The days are quickening
And the darkness is coming
Yet still enough brightness for us to cling onto
With hope

How you remind me
There’s beauty in the inbetween
We need not have life sorted
But savour where we started

And where we are now
Even if
It’s not what we planned
Life has a funny way
Of taking us on a journey unmanned

So returning to our roots
And grounding ourselves in the now
May we appreciate the lessons
A season we learnt

Where there’s light there is darkness
A gloomth embraced hope

I’ve dreamt about creating an installation for Flowers at the House since the first time I visited years ago and was blown away by the incredible floral creations that continued to inspire me over the years. So when the opportunity arose this year, despite just having had a baby, I couldn’t say no, what year to have so many dreams come true ✨

The installation weaves together many personal experiences, whilst responding to the space and interiors of Strawberry Hill House, as well as the time of the year on the cusp of the equinox… A translation of my own experience of grief, and how in this darkness, there are glimmers of light. The transient, ethereal beauty of life and death, and how the seasons can teach us the cyclical nature when we meet again the equal lengths of day and night.

You can catch glimpses of a poem I wrote especially for the installation amongst the sheer fabric, and I will share the full poem on the next post if you would like to read 🤍

When your local cinema has plum trees… life is just about alright 🍇

Whilst it’s not been great weather for the flowers it’s been a bumper year for these little plummies , took all my might not to snip some and make an arrangement with… plum trees now on the growing list.

Purple has been my favourite colour since I can remember, purple bedroom, purple pencil case, anything that could be purple it would be! But I never wear purple and as an interior designer, it would never creep into any of my designs, and now, I have finally found a love of working with this colour with flowers.

The first time I have any success with amazing grey poppy, and by chance I had a few purple sweet peas flowering this year along with a rogue lilac foxglove, so I couldn’t resist a little play and to capture these gorgeous papery blooms before they fade in the blink of an eye.

What a wild year this has turned out to be so far! Very behind on my camera reel and lots of lovely things to share. Playing catch up first with the most wonderful event I was asked to be a part of flowersonthe.edge I have to say this felt like a highlight of my career in flowers. To be in a room with such talent and to be flowering alongside each one was a little dream of mine come true.
Working with the best seasonal British flowers with a touch of the wild is, to me, what truly sustainable floristry is about. Paired with Flower & Press we created this whimsical tablescape in such dark delicious berry tones. It reminded me of the English summer once the blackberries have ripened in the hedgerows, tangled amongst the wild clematis.

Much thanks to the growers who supplied these beautiful British grown blooms Water Lane .edit Danielle

Next up is Strawberry Hill House in September which I am so so excited about!

Back flowering my all time favourite fireplace at Balcombe Place, this time with sunset tones of late May British flower goodness!

This week is an exciting week where I will be creating a tablescape in collaboration with Izzi from Flower & Press at the Flowers on the Edge fringe event for British Flowers Week. We will be playing with juxtaposing the contemporary and the traditional, with some exceptional June flowering beauties!

A little border we planted in March this year filling out nicely. Foxgloves are one of my favourite flowers and they are bringing me so much joy at the moment. The new roses Desdemona are blooming and the pale pink buds turning white accidentally pair so well with the pinky white geraniums.

Some of the plants we planted are;

Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’
Sesalatis autumnalis
Rose ‘Desdemona’
Euonymus balls
Heuchera
Digitalis alba
Sweet peas
White corncockle
Thyme
Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘St Ola’
