Flower of the Month April - White Lilies

02 April 2012White LILIES, especially “Longis”, are traditionally associated with Easter, but happily you can get them all year round now. We love them even more at this time of year though! I love white lilies because they last such a long time, and they look so dramatic with their huge star-shaped flowers. They seem to suit any style of room, whether it’s modern or classic. Almost everyone loves them so they make excellent gift flowers. Maybe it’s because of their intense perfume. By the way, you don’t have to have just white. Oriental lilies come with stripes of p ...Read More

Flower of the Month March - Daffodil

12 March 2012Happy Mother's DayHappy Mother's DayFlower of the Month March - Daffodil  DAFFODILS are the traditional symbol for the Welsh on St David’s Day March 1st. And they are often what we first think of, when we think of spring. Bunnies, lambs, green shoots, daffodils.  We’ve got the traditional yellow daffodils that everyone knows; they’re usually called “trumpet” daffs. And we also have more unusual sorts like tazettas – the mini-flowered daffodils that come in white as well as yellow. These often have a really strong perfume too, especially the Soleil d’Or variety.  There&rsq ...Read More

So how do we say thank you for all that care and attention? In the United States ...Read More

Flower of the Month February - ROSE

15 February 2012The Rose - it couldn’t be any other flower in February, could it? Red is the colour of love and passion, you know, so red roses are very popular this month. Yesterday certainly proved how loved up the men in Sunbury were feeling as the red 'Freedom' rose bouquets were selling like hotcakes!  If you don’t like red, or want to be a bit different when expressing your love to your partner, we have lots of other rose varieties too! If you want a special shade we can even order a rose to match it for you (unless it’s blue to match your lover’s eyes, then we&rsq ...Read More

A rose is a rose is a rose

20 January 2012A rose is a rose is a rose - isn't it? Choosing the right red rose for Valentine’s Day, with help from your local friendly florist You might have peeked into a florist on Valentine’s Day and seen one single rose stem for £5. Then you’ve turned on your TV and seen an advert for a dozen supermarket roses priced at £5. What’s all that about?  Let me explain. It’s like when you buy clothes. You might want something cheap; it isn’t made particularly well, but that doesn’t matter as you only want to wear it a couple of times. Or you mig ...Read More

Customer Service – not a dying art

06 January 2012  Customer Service – not a dying art Automated machines, pre-recorded messages, self-service counters – wouldn’t it be nice to talk to a real living person the next time you go out shopping?  We think so too. One of the nicest parts of running a local florist business is getting to know all the customers. It might be a loyal regular who pops in every week for a little bunch of seasonal blooms, or someone we see a couple of times a year when it’s a special occasion. It doesn’t matter, every customer is a friend.  It’s one of the reasons we get ...Read More
