Multicoloured church flowers


I've noted elsewhere in this blog that one of the best places to find interesting displays of flowers is in churches. Many hold specific flower festivals where contributors are encouraged to be creative, often having to construct an arrangement on a specific theme. Other displays can be linked to particular times of year such as Christmas, Easter or Harvest Festival. Many churches have a rota of displays in key parts of the building, often created and tended by a rota of arrangers, with colours and arrangements carefully constructed on a theme or using complementary colours. However, occasionally we come across individual displays that are simply a riot of colour, as is this example that we saw in the church of St Thomas, Monmouth.
