May No.3

This springtime flower study was inspired by the soft yellow colouring of the common primrose (Primula vulgaris), picked from a happily untamed grassy bank, along with seed heads of dandelions and cowslips. I could only bring myself to cut one flower from the remarkable Peony mlokosewitschii (more easily known as Peony ‘Molly the Witch’) growing in my garden and gathered stems of the classic Tulip ‘Spring Green’, Narcissus ‘Actaea’, and the wonderfully scented white Sweet Rocket. Wild garlic carpeted the woodland floor nearby, and cow parsley was in full flower below majestic beech trees, which were pushing out their first fresh, lime-green leaves.
