Mother’s day in the UK is fast approaching. If you have a habit of forgetting until the last minute, you can always rely on a bunch of flowers to save the day. But, rather than just a standard bunch of daffodils from the petrol station, what else would make your mother really happy and inspired to bake you more cakes?<\/p>\n

Speciality Narcissus<\/strong>
\n\"Narcissus<\/a><\/p>\n

Narcissus Tazetta. A late flowering daffodil. Warm spring has brought it out down here in Oxford. A lovely delicate flower with lovely colour contrast.<\/p>\n

\"Iris<\/a><\/p>\n

Iris Bucharica – something a little different.<\/p>\n

Tulips<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Flowers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pink and white – nice contrast – perfect colours for mother’s day.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t forget the fifth sense – smell. A hyacinth in a pot will give lovely fragrance for two weeks. After flowering it can be planted out for future years.<\/p>\n

Helleborus<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Helleborus<\/a><\/p>\n

Tends to be a little past its best towards end of March. But, still a great spring plant.<\/p>\n

Orchids<\/strong><\/p>\n

Orchids have the touch of the exotic. More expensive, but range of flower colours is exceptional. A great indoor house plant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

House Plants<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For a longer lasting display try a pot plant. Remember mothers are not just for mothers day. We like cyclamen, African Violets and potted bulbs like Hyacinths.<\/p>\n

There is a large variety of greenery amongst houseplants but clour in Coleus, Begonia and more exotic plants.<\/p>\n
