Peony \u2018Bartzella\u2019, lupin, foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea), Balkan spurge (Euphorbia oblongata), columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris)<\/p><\/div>\n

The rad thing about home-grown flowers is that you just cannot go wrong with them. You can combine the most clashing colours and, somehow, they always work. Today\u2019s bouquet is a case in point. Doesn\u2019t \u2018yellow+pink+purple\u2019 sound like a bad idea? Just imagine those colours combined in interior decor \u2013 it makes me shudder. But this bouquet? I love it.<\/p>\n

\nTruthfully, when I made it, I was not thinking about colour combinations. I just went around the garden and picked everything that\u2019s flowering at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"peony<\/p>\n

The yellow peony is a variety I got from the nursery as a \u2018thank you\u2019 on top of my order years ago. It\u2019s called \u201cBartzella\u2019 and I wouldn\u2019t have chosen it myself, despite the catalogue trying to persuade me it\u2019s \u2018highly sought after\u2019. But I have since grown to love the huge yellow blossoms with red-tinted centres and their lemony fragrance. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that this hybrid variety is very easy to grow, productive and has a long vase-life.<\/p>\n

\"lupin\"
\nThis year I have not sown any annual flowers (due to being too busy writing about gardening \u2013 isn\u2019t that sad?), so I am relying on perennials and self-sown flowers for my bouquets. So far, so good.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s flowering in your garden right now?<\/p>\n
