Florets - Floral Quote by Shane Connolly

"Watching nature and being aware of the seasons also makes flower choice so much simpler. 
After many years in the business, I am still amazed how a few stems of flowers can bring life to even the most unprepossessing space. A breath of fresh air in every sense of the word. And often it IS just a few stems that are needed.
Just a single flower can remind me of a whole garden or a few papery leaves, an autumn wood."
