Paper Whites were first introduced to me by my partner James. It was the first year of our relationship. We went to Columbia rd flower market in autumn. Bought the bulbs, planted them in our respective gardens and when James's bloomed in spring he sent me a photo by text. It seemed so romantic. The little things.....

I don't know what this is called but I like it.

Rosehip silluette and blue skies. Great for scenic layering and boarders.

Helibors are the hidden beauties of spring time.

These crocuses remind me of a quilt that we had growing up. It had a great vintage yellow floral print on it. I think the inspirational flowers for the print may have been crocuses like these.

I love photographing Hydrangias all year round. Here the saturated pink fades into a soft neutral.

Snowdrops, unlike the name suggests, pop up when the climate is mild.

I found a delicate leaf skeleton today. When I took this shot, the sun was shining and the wind kept blowg it away.

All the plants are coming back to life.

First crocus. Spring is definitely on it's way. Yippee!

This leaf pattern would make for a great summer cushion print for a conservatory.

I defy anyone to go into a cacti house like this one and not come out feeling great. It's an entirely different world full of curiosities. I'd say the underwater world is perhaps the only other botanical insanity quite so wonderful.

Details like this are bring me such endless joy!

I love this composition. I removed all the stray leaves within this succulent and experimented a little to achieve this image. Time well spent i'd say.

This flower looks like it's a tropical member of the Asteraceae or daisy family.

Monstera Deliciosa is a favourite for tropical print design so I couldn't leave this classic out.
