Fifi’s Flowers

Summertime roses 🌹

There she is !
Hazel - the beautiful assistant !
My is Hazel - birthday girl and my ‘go to’ person when I need a job doing fast ! Hope that she can learn a bit too and find time to arrange flowers among all that farming stuff she is lured into by James ! Thank you Hazel for all you do for me - love you loads 😘

3 bunches and a box heading out today to delight some lucky folks - Inverness & Kilmelford & Luing !
The glamorous assistant was on duty early for first delivery as I am still in jammies !!🌸

Fifi’s flower Friday fave ??
Who is the lucky person today ??

Happy birthday to the beautiful assistant Hazel xx

Sometimes small is beautiful !
I love these pale pink roses with the sage colour of the eucalyptus, little pop of pink in the wax flower and gypsophila to lift the colours 🌸

Nothing says ‘Happy Birthday’ like a beautiful box of flowers !
Delivering these today to Ardfern with my beautiful assistant - picnic and dogs in car xx

Retiring from years with Marie Curie Lynne Millar is now swinging chainsaws for her day job !
She brought so much empathy and compassion to her role with Marie Curie and I for one will miss her as a community nursing colleague - she totally deserves my Friday flowers xx

Happy Birthday to my most reliable assistant Rachel Cruickshanks. Hope you have a wonderful day # # #

Every gardener’s dream - Sir Walter Scott’s beautiful walled garden - the assault on the Senses, yes- it smelt as good as it looks !

Think that these may be a wee tad early at the ferry (no pun intended) - Harebells are so beautiful and with the purple heather and thyme - Nature does it all so well !

And number two and three ‘thank you’ flowers delivered ! - as I was wandering through the village with hands full of flowers when I met a couple who have holiday’d on Luing for over 20 years and they wanted to know if I could do a bunch for them ! Love a wee random customer ! Delighted with their bunch !

Delivering thank you flowers for a wonderful customer: number one this morning ! The wee dog loved them !!

Saying goodbye to a loved one is so hard - you just want everything that’s been planned to be perfect. Today I used oasis rings to give the base for the wreaths sticking to the colours of a certain football team ⚽️ the blue table as background for the photo was total oversight !

When words are never enough or you don’t have what you feel are the ‘right words’ - beautiful flowers can speak for you .

Happy Birthday flowers for a special
Mum - presented in oasis

When you entrust your most precious child to someone, you will want to say a BIG thank you to them. Mixed bunch of flowers going out with love x🌸

Fifi and her glamorous assistant went to the garden party today in edinburgh - nicking ideas !

So with the help of the ‘beautiful assistant’ today - these birthday flowers were delivered do a much loved Mum xx
This one is an arrangement in oasis - florists foam that holds moisture next to the flower stems.

Last delivery of the day to my dear Mother in Law Moira - she runs the best B&B in the town !!
And we love her so much - she spoils us all ridiculously.

Boxes and bunches this morning - delivery’s in Oban and Dunbeg - and happy customers
Two more to deliver on our way !

This wee bunch went to someone who has’nt been so well this week - yes it’s still about !
Flowers can fairly cheer you up when you are under the weather.

Last day of term - People in education were celebrated this week ! Lots of lovely flowers going to special people who teach or support our children. Saying thank you with flowers is such a beautiful thing and I have had such lovely feed back this week. Stay safe everyone over the summer holidays !
£10 donation goes to Easdale Primary School today from my Pots of Flowers promotion.

When you value your staff as this lady does, you thank them with flowers # # #

The glamorous assistant has his birthday today - so I gave him a bonus and the day off from deliveries !
Bet you wish you were in the hills or on a boat today ! Happy birthday Iain Cruickshanks # # and thank you

Busy wee morning - and that was before I started work!
Flowers for some hard working teachers at the end of term, flowers to a wonderful wife, flowers because ‘I can buy myself flowers’🎶, flowers to say ‘thinking of you across the miles’ xx Thanks to my beautiful assistant for his delivering skills and my dear colleague Lorna x

Flower Friday goes to my neighbour Mary - she is amazing, not only does she bake the tastiest sourdough bread and bake for the Atlantic Island Centre as part of the volunteer bakers group. She is secretary to the Luing Community Council and cornerstone of the Luing History Group committee. She is a wonderful neighbour and friend - my ‘fairy at the bottom of my garden’
Thank you Mary for all you do xx
