Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Flower Magazine’s Flower of the Year, Embracing Beauty by Beth Webb, and La Veste’s pop-up in London. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Flower Magazine’s Flower of the Year: Levante Rosa Anemone

Lifestyle magazine Flower has crowned the Levante Rosa Anemone as its 2025 Flower of the Year, celebrating its frothy pink petals, striking black eye, and all-around scene-stealing charm!

Spearheaded by Flower’s founder and editor-in-chief Margot Shaw, this inaugural selection was determined by a panel of design luminaries including floral maestro Lewis Miller, interiors icon Charlotte Moss, landscape visionary Ben Page, and jewelry designer Mish Tworkowski, to name a few. Their mission was to choose a bloom that not only dazzles in arrangements but also plays well with the refined interiors gracing Flower’s pages.

More than just a title, the Flower of the Year program shines a well-deserved spotlight on standout blooms, offering fresh inspiration for designers and floral enthusiasts alike. Developed by Biancheri Creazioni in Italy’s Riviera dei Fiori, the Levante Rosa is a lesser-known gem within the beloved anemone family. It is elegant yet playful, beautifully fragrant, and surprisingly hardy. Whether stealing the show solo or mingling effortlessly in arrangements, it’s a bloom with presence.

To kick off this year’s Flower of the Year, Flower Magazine has put together their top tips for cutting and arranging the Levante Rosa Anemone. See below!

1. Anemones last up to 5 days in a cut arrangement and vase.
2. Anemones drink lots of water! Ensure your vase has plenty of water, and refresh and trim stems every other day for optimal freshness and health.
3. Use a knife when cutting anemone stems, as scissors can crush their delicate, hollow stems.
4. Oh no! Did life get in the way, and your arrangement is feeling parched and neglected? Try submerging the blooms in cool water for 30 minutes. You may be able to revive them! Anemones continue to grow after they’re cut (like tulips). They are also nyctinastic, meaning they can open and close in response to light and temperature. Do not be surprised if they close at night or on cloudy, chilly days.
5. If you need anemones to open up quickly, cut the stems and place them in warm water and in a sunny location. Alternatively, if you need to extend their vase life, keep them cool or in the refrigerator overnight.

Embracing Beauty by Beth Webb

Designer Beth Webb has a way with light. It pours into her spaces like a welcome guest, illuminating every carefully chosen surface, dancing across whisper-soft linens, and deepening the patina of a well-loved antique. In her long-awaited second book, Embracing Beauty: Serene Spaces for Living, balance is everything, and beauty is meant to be lived in.

With the eye of an art dealer and the soul of a poet, Webb creates interiors that feel like sanctuaries. Across fourteen homes, stretching from the coastal calm of Sea Island, Georgia, to the rugged romance of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, she layers like no other, composing spaces that are at once ethereal and deeply grounded.

It’s all about contrast, tension, and the quiet dialogue between light and dark, smooth and rough, old and new. But her work isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about feeling. These are rooms designed for gathering, for resting, for simply being. And in a world that rarely slows down, that is perhaps the ultimate luxury.

Her own home, nestled beneath ancient oaks in Brays Island, South Carolina, is a masterclass in restraint. A mix of stone, wood, and glass dissolves into the landscape, creating a retreat of rare beauty. Each of her projects is guided by inspiration from art, history, and travel, but most importantly, by the way her clients want to live.

This book is an invitation, not just to admire but to notice the play of light, the power of texture, and the beauty in the everyday. And in true Beth Webb fashion, it reminds us that a well-designed home isn’t just a collection of lovely things; it’s a world of its own, waiting to be lived in.
