Flowers from my favourite place

I have been a very lucky Semi Expat and yesterday received a beautiful bouquet from my favourite flower delivery place in England. The Real Flower Company. For more information about them click HERE.

This one is called the 'Antique posy...' The roses are a mixture of dusky mauvey-pink ones called 'Julia Baby' and other creamy ones along with scented herbs, lavender sprigs and foliage.




A close up showing the bronze fennel, purple sage and mint in the bouquet.


Last photograph showing the unusual colour of the roses. I think the name suits it well.
And, I am sure you have guessed who they were from ! Mr SE - such a sweetheart.

  6. Hi Sarah,

    I love roses mixed with herbs. I don't know why it isn't done more. The scent is unbelievable.

  9. They are such a gorgeous bunch of flowers, I wish we had a florist that made such lovely arrangements in Melbourne. Mr SE is so thoughtful - I must mention this post to my husband - which will only fall on deaf ears - it's a case of BYO these days (Buy your Own)

  10. Divine! I used to grow a rose called Julia in my old garden that looked like your Julia's baby and it was sometimes called the brown paper rose bag...but it wasn't a prolific bloomer and had lots of vicious thorns. I dream about that garden a lot. Your husband is a God with the Gifts! Haven't forgotten the ballet shoes from Chanel.
