Spring Flowers

Today marks 4 years since we lost our lovely cocker spaniel Jake, but what I love about visiting his resting place, is the daffodils and hyacinths that come out each year for his anniversary. They are so bright and fresh, just like Jake was bright eyed and bushy tailed, demanding your attention as they are so beautiful - just like he demanded our attention to throw a toy. His memorial, made by my stonemason husband, has 'Jakes song' written on it, and an etching of his favourite toy - a tennis ball! Miss you little lad, send me a rainbow.

Happy 100th Birthday!

We have received an order to deliver flowers to a lady who is 100 years old! The bouquet has been ordered from her carers and has been requested in yellows and pinks. We took great delight in preparing this bouquet, and we all tried to claim legitimate reasons why each one of us should deliver it. Along with the flowers we sent out a complimentary box of luxury chocolates - well! its not every day you deliver to a lady who's 100 years old! Congratulations!

Another lovely bouquet today was for a 28th Wedding Anniversary, and the gentleman specifically requested orchids in the bouquet, as orchids are the symbol for 28 years. It was a beautiful modern arrangement with white orchids, curly bamboo, white lilies, pink roses, molucella, trachelium and veronica wrapped in a modern black fabric collar and tied with raffia. All the girls and early customers admired it.
