I buy and sell antiques. I sow and grow flowers. Instagram an_acre_of_flowers UK 🇬🇧 THIS IS MY ONLY ACCOUNT
These are the flowers I’ve cut for tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞 I’ll be off to the fair first thing to see if there’s any treasure to buy, then back to my garden gate sale. I hope you’ve had a good day and have a lovely weekend to look forward to ♥️💐

Good morning. Today I’ll be flower cutting and faffing, stocking up my shop unit in Henley and generally keeping busy! Hope you have a great day ☀️

I thought I’d show you yesterday’s bouquet wrapped. I’ve got orders for a bouquet, a jar and 2 mini bouquets tomorrow. This cut flower malarkey is gradually keeping me more and more busy 👍😂💐 Have a great evening. Zoe x

I’ve grown this short, perennial variety of hollyhocks this year. They’re quite nice, but as you can probably see, they, like their tall cousins, suffer from rust!

I haven’t grown a lot of cosmos this year. Well actually I think I’ve given my son more seedlings than I thought I had.. 🤔😂 This is a pretty one ☀️🌧️

Fallen beauties (from the heavy rain). Rain most welcome despite some casualties!

Good morning. This is a very unusual ‘creature’ I grew from seed, it’s a type of celosia, very odd!! Always like to try a few new ideas and things in the garden each year 🤔😂 Have a good day, Zoe ❤️💐

So this was the bouquet I made today. Well obviously, it’s still in the jug, at this point! 🙄😂 Sunny day here. Hosepipe ban starts tomorrow, so when it doesn’t rain the watering cans will come in useful! Have a lovely evening 💐

Loving these creamy coloured roses! Gift from the house clearers ♥️

Teddy bear sunflowers grown with my granddaughter Amelia in mind ❤️🌻❤️

Closeup of part of the bouquet I’m making up. My customer wanted dahlias included ❤️💐

Good morning. This is the new view this year. Nothing like perfect but so much better than grass and hopefully next year will be better. I have a bouquet to make up for midday, I’ll show you it later. Happy Monday 🌱☀️🌧️

I’ve been in the garden (between the showers 🌧️) and I’ve also started to sort out some of the many paintings I own! Come the autumn I’ll start selling some of them 🤔👍 I hope you’ve had an enjoyable weekend. 💐❤️🌧️☀️ See you tomorrow. Z x

Today’s view. The garden is passed its best but still things to enjoy 🌱☀️🌧️

Good morning. Another restful day for me as all the local fairs are cancelled 🌧️ I’m looking forward to seeing this dahlia when it’s open later today, a pretty, subtle one, mixing it up!! Have a lovely day. Zoe 🌱☀️🌧️

These were some of the other bunches I sold today. I’m gradually getting a bit more confident about it all! I hope you’ve had a wonderful day and I’ll catch up tomorrow. Thank you, as always, for your kind advice and encouragement. Zoe ♥️💐♥️
