• A new series of Great British Bake Off begins tonight so we couldn’t help harvest just a few of our edibles today. We ran out of flours but never flowers. So much you can do with edible blooms, fresh embellishments for a salad or dessert, dried for winter colour, crystallised with egg white and caster sugar, frozen in ice, pressed, flavouring sugars ... some are wonderfully tasty, some taste of nothing but look divine on dishes ... beautiful #edibleflowers

  • September is turning out to be a cracker of a month. The flower garden has been bathed in soft autumn sunlight and it’s a joy to see more intricate shadows whip quickly through the garden. This softer light is extremely soothing and welcome for flower photography in contrast with the intensity of the high summer sun that can have a tendency to make everything look a little over exposed. So at the moment, as well as harvesting and prepping beds for autumn, I’m trying to take a little time to stop and soak in that delicious light. #inthemoment

  • Ah, sigh, she’s back 💜. Just as I’m starting to miss the tight texture of spring muscari and I can already see muscari ‘Valerie Finnis’ foliage appearing for overwintering, it’s a joy to see these purple beauties of liriope muscari or lily turf stretching up above their mound of grassy foliage. At a height of 30cm she is perfect to cut for this week’s preordered posies. #britishflowers

  • Autumn tones in the studio in spite of this unautumnal (is that a word 🤔) heat. Dahlias, celosia, amaranthus, helianthus, Physalis alkekengi, ammi, antirhirrnum and zinnia. #britishflowers#grownnotflown
