Lovely Emma working away in amongst her flowers; she has started bringing in some more unusual flowers from the mainland which arrive most Tuesdays at around midday. Trying to do something different, with a different product is always more of a challenge, but will set you apart from other stores.

Here are some hellebore's or more commonly called Christmas Roses i picked from my garden. The double white ones in the front are called Betty Ranicar and are bred in Tassie by this well known gardener. I am now after the double pale pink variety.

Emma's lovely bouquet with hyacythins, freesias and succulents.

Trying to garden over the past weekends has proven to be more than a challenge. The weather has been so wet and on the weekend i was virtually up to my ankles in mud. I can honestly say i cannot remember in my history of living in Tassie it ever being so wet and miserable. We have a huge clean up operation ahead of us with our burst dam, and i can honestly say i am not looking forward to it. Skip is already so crabby ,he only had minimal work and it was all finished, now he is almost starting again.
