It's well known that I absolutely love flowers! They really can be purposeful, and make statements of varying kinds. This means they can be used for so many reasons. However, I feel as though plants get slightly over looked in comparison.
I visited my local theatre with some friends back in July. "The Little Shop of Horrors" had come up in a conversation, and suddenly our local theatre was putting on the show, so for sentimental reasons, it only felt right that we went.
Apart from said show being absolutely amazing, and having a full standing ovation. It got me thinking about plants, and how they get over shadowed by fresh flowers.
Audrey ll also got me thinking about artificial plants, and flowers, and how many people are now using artificial in their celebrations and day to day lives. Many examples being grass, cheaper wedding options, hiring funeral arrangements, and taking gardens out for cars. Which then got me thinking about bees 🐝 (that's for another time).
I know the price of flowers continues to rise, and that's why I've taken a side step from it all for a little while. However, I've still had opportunities to be creative due to family requests, and those closest to me.
That being said, "The Little Shop of Horrors" has inspired me to go to my local garden centre, and have a really good look at their indoor plants. To which I was instantly charmed by the idea of having my own Audrey to remember the brilliant show that I had seen at The Grove Park Theatre, in Wrexham.
Anything can inspire you to learn something new. I highly recommend following your intuition. Thanks to such a wonderful production, I have a whole new interest, and appreciation for indoor plants 🪴........don't worry, I still love flowers 🌻.
