Mixed Spring Bouquet
    Bright, bubbling and
    full of hope, our mixed
    spring bouquet is a happy
    handful of glorious new
    season's colours. In fact
    it looks so dewy-fresh
    that it's easy to imagine
    each delightful flower
    was picked from a country
    hedgerow only hours
    before. The bouquet
    consists of a stunning
    combination of springtime
    blooms- Yellow Trumpet
    Daffodils, Small
    Narcissus, Pink
    Ranunculus, Catkins and
    Grape Hyacinth. Placed on
    a low coffee table or as
    a centrepiece for a
    casual lunch with
    friends, this is a
    bouquet to lighten the
    room and your spirits in
    equal measure. Quite
    simply, it's a reason to
    be cheerful.

Tulip Fever Open Stem
    Orchids, roses, dahlias
    all have their fair share
    of enthusiasts - as do
    many other plants. But
    tulips are in a class of
    their own, or rather
    they were - in 17th
    century Holland. It was
    discovered that certain
    tulip bulbs produced
    striped flowers, and
    especially striking
    examples could and did
    command outrageous
    prices. In the early
    1630s speculation in such
    bulbs was rife and
    fortunes were gambled,
    won and lost as 'Tulip
    Fever' took on epidemic
    proportions One bulb of
    the tulip 'Semper
    Augustus' is said to have
    sold for the
    astonishingly large sum
    of 5, 000 florins plus a
    new coach and pair of
    horses! Happily our tulip
    stem is appreciably more
    affordable... and more
    durable. 'Tulip Fever'
    lasted less than seven
    years; our tulip stem
    will be still giving
    pleasure for a great deal
    longer.

Tulip Fever Bud Stem
    Something very strange
    happened in Holland a
    little under 400 years
    ago. Certain tulip bulbs
    started to produce
    striped flowers, a
    condition which we now
    know was caused by a
    virus. However the effect
    on Dutch flower fanciers
    was astonishing. Tulip
    bulbs were bought and
    sold for what quickly
    became astronomical
    prices. Fortunes were
    gambled, won and lost as
    the nation succumbed to
    'Tulip Fever'. Actually,
    'Tulip Madness' might
    have been a better
    description, as one bulb
    - a Tulip 'Semper
    Augustus' - is said to
    have changed hands for 5,
    000 florins, plus a new
    coach and two horses!
    What that represents in
    today's money is
    difficult to ascertain,
    but we'd probably be
    talking several hundred
    thousand pounds. Happily
    our tulip bud stem is
    appreciably more
    affordable... and more
    durable. 'Tulip Fever'
    lasted less than seven
    years; our tulip bud stem
    will be giving you
    pleasure for a great deal

Maple Leaf Bonsai
    Back in the 1960s Japan
    led the world in the
    science of
    miniaturisation. Radios,
    TV sets, cameras...all
    sorts of technical
    products were made to
    tiny dimensions hitherto
    thought impossible. What
    people didn't realise was
    that for the Japanese,
    small has always been
    beautiful. The ancient
    art of bonsai is a
    classic case in point. A
    triumph of nurture over
    nature, bonsai trees
    were living, growing
    Lilliputian versions of
    oaks, chestnuts,
    cherries and pines -
    perfect in every detail
    but looking as if they
    were viewed through the
    wrong end of a telescope.
    One of the most popular
    trees for the bonsai
    treatment was Acer
    palmatum, otherwise
    known as Japanese maple.
    And that was the model
    for the painstakingly
    reproduced replica
    featured here. Perfect -
    from the tiny delicate
    leaves to the
    micro-texturing on the
    bark - our maple leaf
    bonsai makes an
    enchanting and intriguing
    addition to any room.
    Place it on a sideboard,
    coffee table or in a bay
    window - because wherever
    it's displayed (in its
    black lacquered planter)
    our mini-maple is sure to
    be the centre of
    attention. Proof that you
    don't have to be big to
    be noticed.

Pine Tree Scent
    Of course, straight from
    the forest, pine trees
    have a wonderful fresh
    astringent smell. Nothing
    like the cloying odour
    associated with
    disinfectants, it's
    light and clean,
    redolent of cold northern
    forests. And that's just
    the fragrance we've
    bottled. A couple of
    drops added to real pine
    cones will give the
    perfect finishing touch
    to a natural decoration.

Faux Bois Vase
    Faux bois - literally
    'false wood' in French -
    is a classic example of
    art imitating nature.
    Employing enormous skill
    and patience, the
    crafters of faux bois use
    resin, concrete and cast
    iron to create artefacts
    that look for all the
    world like driftwood,
    deadwood and fallen
    branches. The
    authenticity and realism
    they achieve is simply
    amazing. The 'wooden'
    vase featured here is not
    only shaped and textured
    with remarkable accuracy,
    it's also painted and
    coloured to be
    indistinguishable from
    the real thing. And
    that's part of the charm.
    Rugged and rustic, it
    provides the perfect
    setting for delicate
    flowers, ferns and
    sprays. In addition, our
    faux bois vase
    beautifully complements
    scrubbed pine or polished
    wooden surfaces, making
    it completely at home
    whatever your style of
    home decor. Silk flowers
    and resin logs - isn't it
    fascinating the way
    things aren't always
    quite what they seem?
