Winter
There’s a quiet beauty in the simplicity and scarcity of Winter. The intricate nets of thorny rose hips and the winding lines of branches adorned with buds, catkins and cones feel as perfectly in keeping with the gloomy weather times as beautifully contrasting with the bright blue skies of the few crisp sunny December days.
Then there are the magical textures and scent of the evergreens that speak of Christmas walks and cosy times indoors alike, with cedar, Kiefer Pine and Juniper – to mention a few – looking at their very best, ready to enjoy their moment under the spotlight adorning our doors, mantles and staircases.
Little pops of colour are found closer to the ground, with shocking pink frilly, starry and velvety cyclamens blooming happily in the shade and little violas, pansies and winter irises offering gorgeous muddled tones.
Finally, in January and February, we start seeing the first blossoms: the jurassic Magnolias and blousy Camellia blooms are some of the first to decorate the naked branches, telling us that the British flower season is about to, once again, begin.
