Pink as a shy blush, soft as a baby's cheek, this gorgeous peony centrepiece seems full of the joys of spring & the warmth & comfort of summer. Yet strangely, this variety originated in Siberia where the temperature drops below zero for over half the year. What a relief it must have been for them when they were introduced to Britain. Which no doubt explains why peonies are such happy flowers. Inspired by the sort of stupendous display that would have greeted guests at an Edwardian house party, itÂ’s extravagant, exuberant & highly exclusive. In fact weÂ’ve only been able to commission 40 because h&-crafting each one takes such a long time. But every hour has been worth the wait.

An emphatic statement piece that can transform a room, itÂ’s presented in a handsome glass bowl. A huge display thatÂ’s sure to be in huge demand

Like golden thread in a tapestry, ancient Celtic legends are shot through with magic & mystery. One such story concerns the Lady Elaine. She was betrothed to a handsome young knight, but he was called away to the wars far across the sea. As they parted, the knight said that if Elaine still wanted to marry him when he returned, she should place a white flower in her window, as a secret sign.

In desperation she asked the sorceress Morganna le Fey to help. On Christmas morning Elaine awoke to see a single orchid
- petite, perfect & pure white in a vase on her windowsill. The knight rode past, saw the flower &...they lived happily ever after. Fanciful nonsense? Of course, but then again
- that spell-binding little orchid does have an air of enchantment about it, don't you think?
