Melissa and Tilly planted these handsome window boxes custom made by www.gardendeckor.com with Skimmia and pink and white Cyclamen, in Brondesbury Villas, on a clear November morning. We underplanted them with White Alium Nigrum, Black Parrot Tulip and Narcissi Pueblo bulbs for spring time.In May we will add Gaura Lindheimeri (whirling butterflies) and Candy Stripe Cosmos with their delicate airy flowers in keeping with the pink and white colour scheme, which will bloom until November.
For UsTwo Halloween Social we created Frankenstein’s Laboratory using Victorian flasks and bell-jars, test tubes and yards of rubber tubing to show off ghoulish flowers. Celosia suspended in a bell-jar resembles a brain in formaldehyde. Pickle jars full of eyeballs sprouting flowers like strange unearthly body parts or stem cell experiments, what a whacky job! We loved it.
