BINGE-READY EPISODES
For our first episode of 2026, Sarah takes us into the curious world of the Camellia. We wander about gently through history, folklore, politics and fashion houses. Plus, it wouldn’t be an episode about a pretty flower with at least one reference to a noble death, right? In amongst that creepy revelation we talk about memory keeping, notebooks and perfumes that evoke vibes of ‘theatre and posh old ladies’. Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and maybe don’t pluck flowers from mysterious trees...
Step into the shadowy world of the hellebore: a flower with rich history and many contradictions - the light and the dark. To fully explore this little flower's backstory, we fall down more than one rabbit hole, but all of them bring us to the same conclusion: you'll never look at the Christmas Rose the same way again.
Sarah and Keeley spill all the recent flower goss. From fairy lights and backyard vows, to trusting your gut when plans unravel, this episode wanders through wedding flowers, winter studios, meaningful funeral work, and the power flowers hold in moments of joy and grief. Along the way, there’s talk of cake side-quests, Tolkien, creative play without pressure, and why fleeting beauty might be the whole point.
