One of the best locations to find a good floral display is inside a church. The beautification of churches with natural flowers and vegetation is a year-round activity. Many groups of churches hold flower festivals, often in July when they are plentiful. Nature's bounty and beauty is celebrated with leaves, fruit and flowers at the time of harvest festival. At Easter a particular effort, often including lilies, is evident. And flowers and trees make an appearance across the Christmas period. At other times flowers are usually on view, often refreshed weekly by a rota of helpers.
This particular floral arrangement, in Hope Mansell church, Herefordshire, is located in the bowl of a seven hundred year old font - in my experience an unusual place to see flowers.
