My first rose of the year, Olivia Rose Austin. She hasn't been too happy the last couple of years but I've put her into a new raised bed and the plant looks so healthy. #bloomscrolling #flowerfeed #davidaustin

I love Coral Charm peonies, the colour is stunning but they blow open so quickly. We wait all year for them to bloom and they are gone in a flash. Luckily my Sarah B's will be here soon. #bloomscrolling #peonyseason #flowerfeed #gardenfeed

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

A handful of happiness.

Looking forward to getting to work on my garden. We've been travelling and had a big move just before hand. It will be a whole new garden and I'm behind. 😬

My daughter loves flowers almost as much as I do. Too bad dahlias don't really have a scent, she always wants to sniff them.

If you want something in your garden that smells absolutely amazing, then Salvia Hot Lips is the plant for you. Easy to grow and propagate, and is great in a container. #ukgardening #bloomscrolling #flowerfeed #stirchley #brum

I bought Roald Dahl before I went all in on the pinks. The apricot colour goes so well with the pinks (I believe this pink is Olivia Austin Rose Austin). I'm happy to have these beauties in my garden. #rosewednesday #ukgardening #bloomscrolling #davidaustinroses #flowerfeed

I had problems working yarrow into my bouquets and think they are a bit stinky. I told myself I was going to pull them from the garden when we moved. Instead I potted them up to move with us. 😂

I love dahlia season. Once they get going, the house is full of glorious flowers.

Kelgai Ann last year didn't give me a lot of blooms but the ones she did give me were gorgeous. I hope my tubers survived because she also didn't give me many tubers lol.

Last year was my first year growing the fluffy cosmos (I believe they were Double Click). I love how frilly they are but I won't grow again. The stems couldn't hold their weight so couldn't use many in my bouquets.

I hear it's #rosewednesday. I'm here for it! I don't know what the large white rose is, it was mislabled but I love how big and showy it is. It was a first year rose, I can't wait to see the blooms once the plant fully matures.

This year I'm moving my roses to the front garden and I'm going to have to resist the urge to cut every bloom to bring inside, like I normally do, lol. #gardening #bloomscrolling #ukgarden #englishroses #roses #ukroses #davidaustinroses

I'm going to need that ice cream and @nannerb88.bsky.social will need the bandaids. I guess we're kids at heart. 😂

Those giant pink dahlias are Otto's Thrill (so is my profile pic). If you're looking for a gorgeous dinner plate dahlia that you don't have to wait all summer to bloom (looking at you CAL) this is the one. #gardening #flowersfromlastsummer #ukgardener #dahlias #bloomscrolling

You'll be seeing lots of photos of this beauty in my feed. One of my favourite roses is David Austin's Princess Alexandra of Kent.

I ordered 6 more peonies last week. Have no clue where I'm going to plant them but I love peonies so much and there was a sale and I couldn't resist.

I finally had my Instagram feed set up how I wanted, lots of flowers, food, Broadway musicals and home renovations. I was using it more than ever. Yesterday I deleted all three of my accounts. I will miss my curated feed and the visual memories but FU to Meta and Mark Zuckerberg!

Some of my favourite Instagram pages aren't on here yet. I'm looking for fellow gardeners and flower farmers to follow. Would love recommendations. Prefer UK based ones but that's not a requirement.

Last summer's bouquet. 😍

Until the garden is ready this year, which is going to be a real project because we're moving, I'm posting some of my favourite bouquets from last year.

Hoping to have many more roses this year. I love them so. 😍
