So today we celebrate Flora, the Goddess of Flowers ππππΈ She has been celebrated on this day since medieval times when it's thought that all that dancing around maypoles also began πΆππ
This month also sees some of our most beautiful yet short-lived blooms come into season such as peonies, lily of the valley and lilac, as in the picture. I'm using this in my wedding flowers workshop at Sydenham Gardens this evening. It's very precious as it only flowers for about 3 weeks in May, so enjoy it while you can. π
