For 2024, the iconic Moorcroft Town of Flowers design has come into dramatic, new, design territory. Now a Gothic city from the mid-12th century emerges, a time far before the frenzied Tulipmania of the late 16th-century that found its way into Town of Flowers. Kerry utilizes the favoured colour palette of her original design, but this time the Gothic architecture is spied through the boughs of ancient apple trees which hang over the houses within a city wall. The designer’s burgundy, maroon and mauve tulips have morphed into a tapestry of flowers befitting of Arthurian legend and three different panels allow you to gaze up to towers and turrets steeped in history, complete with elaborate tracery and Lancet-style windows, whispering tales from centuries long ago.

City of Flowers is the close of a knight’s tale, where ‘In mosses mixt with violet’ you can imagine Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere’s clandestine meeting before ‘she fled fast thro' sun and shade’ up the gothic staircase that sweeps from a flying buttress in one of the vases’ three panels, upon ‘The happy winds’ that were ‘Blowing the ringlet from the braid” into the City of Flowers.
