This colourful floral fantasy is the winning design from Class No. 321 (Blooming Lovely) in the Floral Art Marquee of the Southport Flower Show by Ann Coulton. Sara Barrow’s highly commended display is in the background.
Each designer created a two-part design using seasonal flowers: a large flower arrangement on a pedestal plus a floor-standing interpretation.
I’ll share more of my highlights from the show soon, but couldn’t resist posting a preview in hope the flowery excess will make you smile.

This is gorgeous, I love it 🙂
I spent so much time kneeling before it, I thought people might think I was praying!
Crumbs. A bit of everything in there!
It looks that way because I’ve got a different arrangement in the background.
A visual feast indeed!
An opulent one too.
A beautiful tapestry!
I agree – a fabric design in flowers.
A feast is right! Sure did make me smile.
I’m glad to hear it.
Don’t you just love the variety of nature! Just had a sprinkling of rain and the roses are looking lush 🤗💗
I do. Not bad for mid-late August – that’s often a resting time for roses.
🤗🌹💗
So beautiful!!
Thanks, Dawn.
This is what I’d call an extreme example of positive space, the whole area crammed with colour and texture. Marvellous!
It was hard to take a bad shot of this arrangement, which I suspect is part of its success.
This takes my breath away. It would be total decadence to have all of these stems available to me if I desired an arrangement or two in my home. Can you imagine that, Susan???
I just about can! I think you could manage three or four or perhaps even more.
This is so worthy of a win!
The more I looked, the more I liked it.
That’s an awesome collection of floral goodness. Perfect title for this post!
I’m glad you liked it.
A visual treat!
It certainly brightened my day. 🙂
