Bamboo

Not exactly blooms - but quite spectacular in a garden are some of these interesting bamboo plants. Once upon a time most of the bamboos would take over the garden, but these days there are some more varieties that are clumping and do not get out of control.

A bucket of gerberas

These are just picked gerberas. We pick them - pluck them really as no cutting implement is used to pick them. We do then cut about 1/2 an inch from the bottom of each stem, and put them in buckets of fresh water. They are carried into the work room and then each flower is checked, and placed in a plastic "cup", then we make up "bunches" of five flowers of the same colour, place two rubber bands on the stems to hold them firmly, and put in a bucket with special product to preserve the flowers. When counted they are placed in the cold room, ready for delivery to the florists on delivery day.

Two orchids

These orchids have been flowering for a few weeks already. The one's I gave my sone flowered a few weeks earlier than mine.

Another blooming star.

This is one of our favourite flowers and also one that is very popular with florists and their customers. The pink and white together lends itself to use in a range of different floral arrangements. Everybody loves it. As well, it is a consistent bloomer with strong straight stems. Wonderful flower.

Cosmo

This is a lovely yellow gerbera. It blooms well with strong straight stems and seems to flower all year round - only minor issue with the flower is that sometimes the petals drop out. It is one of our consistent bloomers.

Pink Gerberas

This flower is one of our most prolific and consistent bloomers at Gough Hill Farm. Enjoy.

Another Rose

This rose is also in the front garden of my parent's home.
