Eggs Win Prizes!


Another young mind is baffled whilst trying to count how many eggs are in our window!

Count all the eggs, submit your answer and the winning correct entry will win a BIG chocolate egg and a lovely bunch of spring flowers.

So far we've had jostling, shouting and general mischief as the 'young uns' try to psyche each other out and mess up their counts whilst crowding the window and adding up all the eggs.

These kids play hard ball, but it is a BIG egg they've all got their eyes on.

The winner will be announced at 1pm on Friday 2nd of April.

Recession? What recession?!?

Just a quick post to say a huge thank you to the many lovely customers, old and new, that ordered flowers over the weekend.

We had our busiest ever day on Saturday and had a bigger Mothers Day this year than we did the year before.

I know it's hurting a lot of people but we're gratefull that people were still happy to share some of their limited funds with us.

Hope all your Mums had a great day and will be enjoying their flowers for a long time to come.

Banksy it Aint!


We had painted a sandwich board with blackboard paint for a bit of Mothers Day marketing.

It had been out on the street drying for no more than a couple of hours when some dubious prankster christened it.






In the words of Rolf...."Can you tell what it is yet?" (the last word is _oaby)

Answers on a postcard please.

Mothers Day Flowers

It's been a while since our last update, which is bad, but we have been exceptionally busy both in and out of work!

On the horizon next is Mothers Day, the big one, the busiest single weekend of our year. And to be honest, probably my favourite of the big 3. Christmas is good but tends to involve lots of warm colours and cold weather. Valentines is great but has a huge emphasis on roses. Mothers day is fairly non specific in regard to the flowers we send out.

Some opt for fresh spring bouquets full of tulips, hyacinth, rannunculus and freesia. Others like contemporary and unusual creations with orchids, anthuriums, birds of paradise and proteas. Many prefer a more classic bouquets with lisianthus, roses, lilies and veronicas.

The picture here is our 'The one thats for Mum' bouquet from the website. It ranges in price from £30-60 and is available to order now.

Theres plenty more coming along after Sunday 14th but we'll just try to keep our minds on that date for now.

Bye.
