Pack of 2 Oasis Foam Wreath Rings 12" (31cm)

Product Information

This reliable fuchsia grows in a large blue glazed pot alongside a clematis sent to me from Raymond Evison’s Guernsey nursery.

I might grow some on purpose, as they make large 4” diameter flowers, later in the season than most ornamental alliums.We like his eco-friendly techniques and his determination to support local independent floristry growers and suppliers.

And to add to my joy, I was invited to take part in a zoom lesson by flower farmer Georgie Newbery -just in time to make my first flower posy for mum.In another arrangement, he used branches of Ballerina roses which looked like bouquets in themselves without any other flowers needed. I leave my dahlias in the ground over winter, covered with a foot of dry leaves, some compost bags and finally, cloches. The red stems you can see in the first photo are dogwood, Cornus Westonbirt, which also help support heavy flower heads.

As a valued member of the OASIS Floral Products mailing list you'll be the first to hear about our exciting new products and innovations.I’ve added this lovely highly-scented rose, Timeless Cream, from Wharton’s nursery cut flower range. They are doing an unimaginably difficult job keeping everyone safe, and we are enormously grateful for everything.

The carers said the couple were their favourites, and I’m sure it was because Joan and Keith tried to be as little trouble as possible -and there was always chocolates, biscuits and cake for them.

There’s blue Campanula poscharskyana, Phlox Blue Paradise, Nigella love-in-a-mist, and yellow Verbascum in my posy. These are more reliable in difficult conditions because you need much smaller corms to obtain flowers. Staking also helps to train the stems, and I use twiggy stems such as dogwood in my posies to prop up the flower heads. It’s a very late flowering type with short pedicels, making the flowers fling out and look up at you. All bereavements are difficult to recover from, but I’ve been surprised just how much I’ve been affected by Joan’s death.I’ve planted Tete-tete in these and placed them on the potting shed window where I can look at them while I’m working. I don’t grow in traditional rows, everything is mingled together and much is grown in window boxes and containers, with many different varieties ripening early, mid-season and late. This blog records my gardening life, growing fruit and vegetables for the family, and flowers for friends and relatives.
