Each year I grow as many flowers for cutting as I can in the flower patch at my plot. I don't go in for big formal arrangements, just sweet little posies of flowers that I pick as I wander round the cutting patch. The pale pinks of cosmos or the fragrant butterfly petals of sweet peas. Sometimes I go for the bold and the bright of zinnia or rudbeckia. Last year I added wild flowers for a bit of variety - feverfew and mallow and corn marigold. I place them in the kitchen where I can look at them whilst I am cooking and washing up, and in the hallway so that they are the first things I see when I walk through the front door, or on the coffee table where the sun catches on their petals and the room smells sweet with the scent of lilac or rose.
Below are a few posies that were picked during the year:-
I love to have home-grown flowers in the house, the first daffodils of the season their bright yellow cheering up the room or the tight buds of tulips that loosen and curl into wonderful shapes before the petals fall. They lift my spirits and make me smile, and I am able to say to myself - aren't they beautiful, I grew them. As simple a thing as a posy of flowers can bring such pleasure.
