As I mentioned in my Sunday post, I went to a local flower festival at a wonderful church. Where I live is very Surburban, builtup and city-like. It does have some green parts but it is by no stretch of the imagination, is it countryside. However, there is a really lovely church not to far away that could be in a tiny village from the way it looks!
The theme of the flowerswas this year overground and underground- on
The tube line
Alight at Upton Park for West Ham united
I loved the combination of the blue and claret flowers
Angel
This heavenly vision was really beautiful up close. I do love white flowers.
Baker Street
I'm never sure what those weird alien looking flowers are with the pointy stalks coming out of the middle are, but they were SOOOO clever for evoking the pipes of Sherlock Holmes for Baker Street!
In the middle of our visit, my mother and my niece and I went to go and find a cup of tea and strawberries. The latter had sadly run out but we did find a rather gorgeous mini Barn owl called Bramble!!!!
Each of the pew ends was marked with a cute red and white display to symbolise the Central line (the nearest station to the church is on the Central line)- they all had different tube names attached.
Alight at Charing Cross for Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column.
This display was, I think put together by two men. They always do a display every year and it is always most impressive! This had a water feature and everything!
Holland Park
Holland Park apparently has a memorial or house where you can see a wonderful mosaic. This was represented in the floral display here, my personal favourite. The lady who made this actually goes to my church and her flowers are always astounding!
Kensington Gardens
You can see the Peter Pan statue here and the flowers reflected in the orange flowers!
Oval
Alight at the Oval or a cracking Cricket match!
Physic garden at...??
I've totally forgotten what the station was for this display but I adore the rustic quality of this one!
Regent's park for London zoo
I adore daisies and I loved the animals hidden amongst the display!
Covent Garden
Home of the royal Ballet, represented by the red roses!!! The Gypsophyllia representing Les Sylphides!
St Paul's
A clever representation of the shape of the dome!
Tower Hill
Are these flowers REALLY blue? What are they? I am most intrigued!
Charing Cross for Trafalgar square
And here is an extra shot of Trafalgar square. Hands up who's paddled in the fountains on a hot day apart from me!?!?!
Which one is your favourite?
Edited to add:
Oh and it is the lovely Intrinsically Florrie's 4th blogiversary! Very appropriate that I had this one scheduled givent that the title is how she often celebrated her blogiversary. Go and visit her and vote for her lovely outfit in the Swapshop competition!!!
