Holiday

Feriatum

We’re on holiday at the moment, travelling through Europe and hoping to visit the gardens of Monet in Giverny to see some beautiful waterlilies. We will be back with new Flowerolgy episodes in October, starting with Tansy and its links to Ancient Greek myths, gods and immortality.

In the mean time, if you have missed any Flowerology episodes (we’ve been going since November last year) you can find an alphabetical listing of all the wildflowers that we researched so far, underneath the illustration.

Flowerology is NOT a field guide for flower identification. It’s often difficult to tell the difference between harmless plants and poisonous plants and some flowers are rare and protected by law, so, NEVER pick or use any plants or flowers if you’re not sure about them.
