Blue for a boy




This bouquet of allium christophii, iris and paeony "Duchesse de Nemours" was to celebrate the arrival of a baby boy.
The allium open out into massive metallic blue-purple globes which will gradually dry and can be kept, the paeonies become very blousy scented flowers - the one in the bottom picture was in Drymen Royal Bank of Scotland last week - now it is on my dining room mantlepiece.
