With so many new flowers and foliage bursting into life everyday at this time of year it's hard to tear yourself away from the garden isn't it?

Although I'm surrounded by the most beautiful flowers every day owing to the nature of my work, I always have lots of little vases (eggs cups, teacups, jam jars you name it!) dotted around my house full of little sprigs of the latest flowers and foliage freshly picked from my garden.

Today's little vases are filled with bluebells, ferns, cow parsley and clemetis.

They bring a smile to my face whenever I look at them...here's my latest little flower specimen vase!
