Neither @helenstickland nor I could resist posting these glowing beasties! Cooling nicely in the big barn. #BlackShed #tulips #blackshedapril #red #springflowers #cutflowers
Spring Green So tall, so fleeting. It's odd growing tulips for cut flowers. A glimmer of colour and they're gone. #BlackShed #tulips #blackshedapril #greenflowers #viridiflora #tulipa #underthefloralspell #seasonalflowers #sherborne #dorset

First pick this morning. Difficult to keep on top of them, they're all opening at once. Early, middle, late? No, now! #BlackShed #dorset #tulips #blackshedapril #springflowers #flowersfromthefarm #purpleflowers #purplelover #underthefloralspell #tulipfever #tulipomania #sherborne #florist
Morning! What a lovely weekend on the farm, we planted thousands of seedlings, all the foxgloves, larkspur, godetia, salvias, antirrhinums, helichrysum, statice, rudbeckias, eryngium and so many more. The tulips are looking fantastic and our first customers have been lovely. One kind friend brought us boxes of dahlias and one delightful old chap, having read my article in the @sherborne_times, drove all the way across the county to deliver enough alstroemerias to fill an 8 metre bed. Definitely getting the #BlackShed buzz! This tulip is Apricot Dream. #dorset #flowerfarming #tulips #flowersfromthefarm #cutflowers #weddingflowers #freshflowers #flatlay #underthefloralspell #sherborne #inspiremyinstagram #colourmyworld #dsfloral #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram

Special #Sherborne delivery. Surprise flowers for Adrian the Greengrocer who recycles all his very useful plastic crates by giving them to us. Currently brim full of exotic ranunculus in the polytunnel. #sherborneindependents #BlackShed #blackshedapril #localflowers #underthefloralspell #flowerstagram #tulip #tulips #apricotdream

Gorgeous Green Spring. Had a lot of misnamed varieties this year but this one's right. One of my favourites. Amongst many! #BlackShed #blackshedapril #tulips #dorset #flowersfromthefarm #viridiflora #sherborne #weddingflowers #blackmarshfarm #tulipfever #tulipomania #tulip
Happy Birthday to this crazy, brilliant queen of the tulips. Nine years old and a fine gardener. Amongst rather a lot of other things. Of course having @helenstickland as your Mum must have some bearing on all this xx
