For this weeks Bouquet of the Week our Mid Summer Posy is a wonderful mixture of Scented Pinks, Snapdragons and Scabious all grown at Cornish Blooms.
The Scented Pinks are grown in polytunnels right next to the flower barn where we prepare our orders and you simply cannot get fresher than that! These wonderful flowers are in season from May – October and we grow a range of colours including pale pink, white, lilac, purple and red. Although they are called ‘Pinks’ their name actually comes from the ‘pinked’ edges of their petals. ‘Pinks’ have a lovely clove-like fragrance and a good vase life.
Our Snapdragons are grown in polytunnels here on the farm and are available throughout the summer. They are grown from (tiny) seed and planted throughout the summer to give us a succession of flowers. In the summer months we pick early every morning before the polytunnels get too warm and the Snapdragons are placed straight in water and are kept in our cold store before being arranged into our bouquets.
The Scabious are also grown right here at Cornish Blooms and are planted fresh each year. We grow 2 varieties in Purple and deep Pink and the bouquet may contain a mix of the two colours where possible.
The Mid Summer Posy bunch will contain 40 stems of flowers for £27.00.
