I love love love all flowers but the jewel of all is the celosia which comes in th most vibrant jewel colours and are so beautifully textural and can be used in a hinders different ways – tall, short as a focal or an amazing low carpet of sumptuousness. X
I love the classic shape of the simple tulip with so many colours available they cheer up any occasion. Simply beautiful.
My favourite flower is the Stargazer lily. This flower is simply amazing and it’s so full of texture, beauty and fragrance. Although it is a hybrid it still is stunningly elegant and wonderful.
I am interested in the Birmingham Show. Thank you
I absolutely love the classic English rose. So beautiful and elegant in all colours, but I have chosen to have a gorgeous mix of pink and ivory for my bouquet next year! I would love to attend the London show x
I have always adored lillies. They are amazing in groups but stunning as a single stem. But it’s their fragrance that really lifts my spirits. As mother of the bride next year I would love to win tickets to the London show. Thanks. x
I absolutely love dahlias! You just cannot beat British grown dahlias – they are just stunning! (am interested in the London tickets).
Sunflowers always make me smile!

Bougainvillea I love the whites and the vibrant shocks of pink. Always reminds me of holidays!! Birmingham please

I love tulips, any colour and shape. Simple and so pretty.

I’m just starting to truly embrace flowers ahead of my wedding and keep being drawn to cherry blossom. It feels so airy and whimsical. Birmingham please.
Many thanks to everyone so far for entering the competition

I have fallen in love with Avalanche Roses, just so soft and ice cream like.
Birmingham please
I live freesias, the colours and simplicity of them really appeals to me
My favourite flower would have to be the majestic protea, and i would very ,much like to win tickets to the London show.
My favourite flower is the ROSE. They all bring smile to my face, the shape, smell and stems are totally beautiful, whether in a garden or bouquet.
London Please
I love Lillies, they are tall elegant flowers that look totally stunning and amazing.
London please.
Being a simple kinda gal I’m absolutely in love with the daisy! Its so fresh and youthful looking. On their own they seem so humble but when bunched they become so striking and affective. I particularly love the light pink daisy mixed in with traditional white. SIMPLY stunning. If I am lucky to be picked I would be so grateful for Birmingham Tickets. Thank you x
I have just started in business – vintage crockery hire business across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey – anything like this would be marvellous for us, it would be our first show…..
