Ooops, a whole week has passed since my last post in Project 365… I knew it was going to be a challenge, but it was all going so well! I guess that this happens to a lot of people towards th...
Leucospermum are evergreen shrubs native to South Africa, with these fascinating ‘pin cushion’ flowers that gradually unfurl like spindly spider legs. They always create a stir when I hav...
Ok, so I had a busy weekend in and out of the shop, including a rather windswept wedding consultation in Maughold, so my Project 365 posts were neglected. Today though, I am treating you to not just ...
One of my favourite little plants (I say favourite a lot I know, but it’s true!) Ceropegia woodii, or commonly known as ‘String of Hearts’ which describes it perfectly! This plant ...
Today started of with some fairly mundane tasks… filing, pricing new stock, washing vases… then the postlady dropped off a parcel. I love receiving parcels, even if I know what is in them...
Hamamelis mollis, or ‘Witchhazel’ to give it its more well known name, smells DIVINE! I always remember the first time I smelt this plant, and it was on my first visit to the wonder that ...

I have to admit it has been a lazy day in our household today… up late, cooked brunch, snoozy cuddles with the cats on the sofa (only disturbed by the squeals from my OH watching a rather tense...
Yesterday was super busy in the shop trying to catch up with orders now our flowers and plants finally made it to the Island, and that is my excuse for not sticking to the Project 365 schedule! So to...
Today’s post has been a bit tricky… the reason being that the windy weather has once again played havoc with the ferry sailings and my boxes of flowers are still sat in Heysham instead of...
Spring isn’t here yet (as the gales and downright awful weather keep reminding us!) but these pretty flowers always get me a little excited about its arrival! Narcissi are bulb plants and the n...
So, Project 365 should technically be Project 363 as we were closed for the first 2 days of the New Year, and to be honest, there were not many flowers to photograph! Also, accept my apologies for th...
