Eryngium, most commonly known as Sea Holly, is a stunning combination of delicate and rough. It comes in beautiful hues of blue, violet, green and white. It’s robust, easy to grow, drought resistant & a floristry favourite!⠀
Their flowers are aromatic which attract birds, bees and insects.⠀
Sea Holly is a symbol of independence, severity and attraction.⠀

According to study completed by the Rutgers university Human Emotions Lab, it was found that flowers create instant delight and happiness, and increase enjoyment and life satisfaction. Specifically, upon receiving a gift of flowers, the female study participants responded with true smiles and reported positive moods that lasted for days.
The presence of flowers also led to increased contact with family and friends. The research reveals that those who send flowers, in comparison to other gifts, are viewed as successful, caring and emotionally intelligent people.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching and we can’t think of a better gift to show your love!

I love having flowers and plants around me not only because they are beautiful but because they remind me to be present and take a moment to breathe.
The year is racing by and self care activities like meditation can help to slow things down and help you regroup.
What an amazing plant is the cotton plant?!
Planted in summer to bloom around early autumn, it is not actually the flower of this plant that we most covet, but the fluffy white fibres that burst out of what is called the cotton boll.
The flower initially grows on top of the boll and only lasts about 3-4 days before withering and dropping off. The boll then begins to ripen in the sun and the fibres inside begin to expand, bursting out of the boll to create a most fascinating and beautiful natural resource.
Cotton stems seem to come in and out of fashion but are particularly popular arranged alone in a beautiful vase. I am going to try and find some arrangements using this stunning flora to inspire us all!
