Another floral edition of #FridayFollow: @jardinebotanic.
After cake, flowers and plants are the next most beautiful thing in the world.
How could they not be when they come in such infinite variety? There is a form of botanical beauty for every mood and moment: from a scrubby dried banksia that will hold on to its seeds for thousands of years only releasing them only when scorched and burnt in a raging bush fire, to the delicate tulip that will last mere hours once picked but that is so powerfully beautiful that wars were waged over its bulbs in the Dutch Golden Age.
I will often bake a cake simply because I have grown, foraged, found or been given some beautiful flora.
I feel the cake deserves the flower and the flower deserves the cake.
If you think like me pop over to Jardine’s account and take in some of the wondrous magic she creates with some of the most beautiful flowers and floral arrangements you will ever see.
