Ep 20 - Alstroemeria & Scented Geranium

You're in for a treat this week as the Fabulous Flowers tv duet gather together around Lucy's kitchen table and record this podcast all about Alstromeria. It's non stop information, tantalising tips and flowery tales from Paulie on how he uses these pretty little filler blooms in so many ways from parties to contract rounds.  They are long lasting, easy to grow, available everywhere to buy and a real must have if you want to add colour and texture to other chosen star performing flowers such as roses, peonies or sunflowers. 

 

With a fabulous contribution on all things Alstromeria from Ben Cross - aka British Flowers Rock.  Ben is a fourth generation Alstromeria grower and simply loves these everlasting perennial blooms.  Hear how and why he decided to continue this family tradition. 

 

For this weeks Floriography Fun Facts we uncover the fragrant treat that is the Scented Geranium  A wonderful plant to grow outside and indeed inside as a house plant all year round. These little beauties have such a wonderful history and very much earned their place in the castles and stately homes of England.  Hear why they were so popular for Kings, Queens and nobility alike.
