Bernard is 84 now and has been growing chrysanthemums for 61 years, after being introduced to both dahlias and chrysanthemums and choosing the mums. ‘Dahlias are terrible in the vase,’ he tells me with a wry smile. ‘Mums just keep going.’ 🪻👨🏾‍🌾

Spring has sprung, baby!

Not sure how many Miranda Priestly lines we’ve used, but here’s another one… ‘Florals. For spring. Groundbreaking.’ 👄

But this time, this season, we’re dropping the sarcasm and really going full BLOOM. 💐

House and Leisure Volume 22 (Flower) is filled with floral – on-the-nose scents, facades tinted in pink hues of bougainvillea and disa, gardens, budding stories, flower people, and well… flowers.

She’s our pink petal.
She’s our bloom baby.
She’s groundbreaking.
She’s Volume 22.

🌷

House and Leisure (House and Leisure) Volume 22 (Flower) will be available from tomorrow at our independent stockists and countrywide retailers, via our website for convenient home delivery, or to download on our free House and Leisure app. 📲

In our latest Journal story, we’re showing off the new(ish) Chommies travel collection – a series of souvenirs that tell a story, and that are soooo much cooler than a kitsch keychain... 😉

And, the best part, YOU have a chance to WIN two special items from the collection – a gift from LOOKBOOK. 🫶
