The lady wants church flowers: the lady gets church flowers.

 "I want more pictures of church flowers", she said. "Your wish is my command", I said. It's only through the internet that a Welshman in Cornwall can swiftly (sort of) accede to a request from Iceland made by a native of Wisconsin but long-time resident of North Carolina. And it's a pleasure so to do.

The theme for the event was 'Colours of the Rainbow'. Can't remember what they are? Think 'Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain'. Oh yes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Here are the welcoming swathes either side of the original 13th Century church door. Those familiar with this area will be saying "where's the notice board?". I've photoshopped it out as it detracted from the blooms.

And what's at the end of a rainbow? A pot of gold, that's what. And you can see that on the bottom right.

Given that the displays were part of the Village Fair celebrating the 175 years that our Village Post Office has been in existence, a sub-theme for the flowers was picking out the colours of old postage stamps. Here, a one penny Queen Victoria stamp sets the scene..............

..and here a green 1/2d stamp from Edward VIII's reign.

This array takes its colour from a pictorial stamp of a butterfly from the present Queen's time.

Not sure about the stamp that inspired these colours as it wasn't around at the time I was there.

An Edward VII orangey red stamp was the basis for this window.

Another with an unknown stamp association. I really should pay more attention to these details.

Here's the Queen Victoria blue stamp inspired display in its entirety. I should add that all of the flowers and greenery were grown within 5 miles of the church.

Are floral displays greater than the sum of their parts?

It depends on the flowers, I think.
