Jasmine tea, a heavenly perfume, a beautiful garland? As I'm potting up this little Jasmine sambac I'm contemplating all of the wonderful things it could contribute to creating in the future.

Plants really are amazing!

(Jasmine sambac is the only edible jasmin and the only variety safe to use in teas)

Orris in flower. The flowers have a wonderful soft, powdery scent that I've been trying different ways to capture - but perhaps the scent of the flowers will always be elusive, allowing the rhizome to shine.

The first of the white flowered orris has burst into show. This is the classic Iris germanica var florentina.

While Iris pallida subspecies pallida produces the most prized orris in perfumery, florentina also has a long history producing orris - its also a highly confusing and variable variety historically, which is a story for another day!

Jewel like colours of botanical infusions.

It's been ages since I've been in the studio, but I'm having some fun testing botanically infused oils as the base for some ideas that are forming.

The sweetpeas are out and smell heavenly.

I love sweetpeas and grow them as cut flowers for the house but, despite seeing them decorating cakes in cafes, they aren't edible (unlike the flowers of garden peas).

So enjoy these beauties in the garden or a vase, and ensure you know your edible flowers when getting creative in the kitchen.

Baby Angelica!

So many botanicals require patience- I guess that's what make them so precious.

Angelica requires cold stratification to germinate, and after the seed being stored in the fridge and then the tray of seeds in seed raising mix spending all winter out side I was about to give up. So, imagine how excited I was this morning to find half a dozen had sprouted.

Once the patch is established they should self seed happily, but successfully germinating these seeds means I'll be able to expand my Angelica patch with plants more acclimatise to our environment and more cheaply than purchasing plants.

The orris is in various stages of preparing to flower, and already you can see a hint of different shades.
