Happy St David's Day. These little beauties are T

Happy St David's Day. These little beauties are Tete a tete, growing happily in a tub by the backdoor. The narcissus in the field are more exposed so yet to flower, which is ok as they need to be at their best by the end of next week.

This is larkspur, growing fast in the tunnel now t

This is larkspur, growing fast in the tunnel now that the weather is getting warmer. If you've got some growing that you planted last year you can pinch out the top and you'll get lots more flowers on each plant.

And so to Zed... #floweralphabet Showcasing Britis

Day 26 – Z

Zinnia - this little group flowers in late summer in a range of bright colours. Some have quite small flowers (about 3cm across) whereas others like this Purple Prince is big and dramatic. They love the weather as hot as possible. 🌞

Hope you enjoyed this A-Z of British cut flowers - there are probably some I've forgotten, let me know if you think of any.

Day 25 – Y

Yarrow - (or Achillea) this is Cerise Queen, flowering from July to October in a multitude of pinks and purples. Colorado flowers in oranges and bronzes and The Pearl has tiny white flowers, a perfect replacement for gypsophila.

Day 24 – X

Xeranthemum - these are pretty little everlasting flowers which grow very easily. I couldn't find a picture of one of ours growing so this is courtesy of @Chilternseeds

The only other X we grow is Cosmos Xanthos which is a very lovely pale yellow - available in the summer.

Day 23 – W

Willow - at this time of year the willow is in flower covering itself in these very tactile furry catkins - they make a lovely addition to an arrangement and last for ages in a vase. And then, as an added bonus, once the flowers are over, take the willow out of the vase, plant in the ground and most of the time it will grow.

Wood anemones - these little white flowers grow all over the ground in the wood next door and have started to creep into our fields. They are just pushing their way through the soil at the moment and in a month or so will be carpeting the ground.

Weigelia - lovely foliage and little pink or red flowers in spring.

Day 22 – V

Verbascum - These grow in lovely spikes of yellow, pink and white. They are a favourite food of the caterpillar of the Mullein moth, so it's checked regularly.

Veronica - full of blue spikes during June and July - lots of different blues from very dark to very pale.

Vibernum - this one is Vibernum Opulus 'roseum' commonly referred to as the Snownall bush. It starts off with lime green flowers about the size of a golf ball - these continue to grow and change colour to end up
white and about the size of a tennis ball.

Verbena - tall, stately plant providing little touches of purple loveliness.

Day 20 – T

Tulips - lots of tulips in lots of colours, frilly ones, stripy ones, tall tall ones. They are one of the only flowers that keeps growing after you've picked them. They can also get air bubbles stuck in their stem so they're not able to drink and may droop - make a little pinhole at the top of the stem under the flower head and that should fix it.

Day 19 – S

Sunflower - we grow these bronzy-red ones, a big yellow one and a small, dainty pale cream one. There are so many different ones to choose from it can be difficult to decide.

Sweet peas - another definite favourite with everyone that buys them, partly for the scent and partly for the memories they bring back - mainly of Grandad's garden. They flower here from the end of May to the end of October.

Statice - once considered old-fashioned these flowers add vibrant colour to bouquets and are just as good dried. They keep on flowering, in colours from deep blue, lavender, apricot, yellow and white.

Snapdragons - the teeniest, tiniest seeds - one sneeze and you've lost a whole packet!. They grow incredibly fast though and will be in flower from June to September, in lavender, white, pink, cherry red and orange. And they smell lovely...

Scabious - large pincushions in dark red, white and blue.

Day 18 – R

Ranunculus - grown from corms that are planted in the autumn, these tough plants spend all winter being blown about and frozen and then in late April they produce these beautiful flowers which look a lot like small peonies. This combination looks a bit like scoops of raspberry ripple ice cream.

Roses - we grow about 20 different varieties of rose in shades of cream, pink and red. There are tea roses and floribundas and a couple of climbers but they all have one thing in common - they smell beautiful. Ready at the end of May.

Day 17 – Q

Quaking grass - this is the common name for this little grass - or Briza Maxima. It seeds itself everywhere producing hundreds and hundreds of stems all through the summer. It's also perfect for drying.

Day 16 – P

Peony - for many of you I know this is your favourite flower. It's the most asked for of anything we grow. It flowers towards the end of May and into June, in shades of whites, pinks and reds. It also has the most lovely scent.

Day 14 – N

Nigella - this is an amazing little flower. It's lovely in all its forms, before it flowers, when it flowers and then it produces beautiful seed heads. Once you have it in your garden it will self-seed year after year as it does in our flower field. The flowers come in white and pink as well as this lovely blue

Nasturtium - great for some climbing colour and to eat.

Moluccella laevis or Bells of Ireland - a fantastic foliage plant, it also dries beautifully.

Mallow in pale and dark pink and white as well as Matthiola (stocks) in lavender and cherry red with their lovely clove fragrance.

Day 12 - L (lots of 'Ls')

Larkspur - normally in bright blue but now also in pink, white and lavender. Tall like delphiniums but not quite as big - loved by slugs so we grow lots to compensate.

Leucanthemum - big, daisy- like flowers

Linaria (Toadflax) this is Linaria maroccana, grows and flowers really quickly - about 10 weeks from seed. They look like baby snapdragons - come in a wide variety of colours.

Lupin - these stately spires are available in May/June; now in a range of colours from the darkest blue, through carmine to pale cream and white.

Also, depending on the month there is Lavender, Lilac and Lunaria (Honesty).

Have I forgotten any?

Day 11 - K

Knautia or Macedonian scabious - this little flower normally grows in shades of red/pink - it looks like a small version of the larger annual scabious (pictured here in all its lovely forms - from just flowering to seedhead).
