We've been a little bit rubbish at keeping in touch lately, sorry...
Rest assured, Madame Gingerlily has been squirrelling away busily in Gingerlily HQ, making flowers for weddings galore as well as filling the local houses with the sights and scents of summer. And what a beautiful summer it's turning out to be!
At the moment in the little shop we are enjoying the company of huge fluffy peonies; pink 'Sarah Bernhardt' peonies, which fill the shop with the heady scent of vanilla, next to delicate white 'Shirley Temple' peonies, who's floral scent is reminiscent of great clouds of jasmine.
And just this week we were joined by our friends the frilly scabiosa, who despite their slightly icky name are really very charming, as well as the first of the lavender, and plenty of grand English delphiniums.
Less warmly welcomed was the huge black beetle who had burrowed into one of the bouquets in the display. A stowaway! He blew his own cover by leaving a suspect penny-sized hole in the paper, and sure enough, on investigation, there he was, having a right old nibble on me precious blooms! The cheek of it.
He has now been sent on his way don't you worry flower fans. Nothing gets past me!
Disclaimer: This isn't him, but it looks a lot like him. They could be twins.
