Today marks the winter Solstice in the southern Hemisphere.
Starting tomorrow we are technically building to summer, although as the rain and cold has really just started it might be some time before we are at the beach.

Its the Friday morning of Mothers Day week and we are almost there!
Today and tomorrow we will pick and bunch the last of the last few flowers in time for the weekend requirements.
We have been quiet on the socials of late due to the challenges with all things associated with caring for all these flowers and ensuring they flower on time for such an important event, pretty pics just were not a priority.
Back a few months ago we were planting the mothers day crops (and we didn't get to plant 100% of some due to constraints) and we had many internal conversations about not knowing how much if any of these flowers we would be able to harvest during this week.
I'm super proud of what our team has accomplished this week,
and the last few months. Many have multi tasked, been moved between departments to work on different crops and we even had the office staff bunching and packing orders.
I thank all our staff for everything they have helped achieve this week, We have some awesome people who love the challenge and reward of seeing all these flowers loaded into our trucks.
I thank all our customers for their patience and understanding during a massive week like this, its a huge challenge in a 'normal' year but i am very humbled and proud of what we have been able to achieve as a team this week with all the unknowns.
Good luck to all our customers for the next 3 days, Happy mothers Day in advance, we will all enjoy a drink and a well earned rest Sunday evening.

Today 8 years ago we almost lost everything. We have had a few fires over the years but this one was the quickest burning most intense fire we had seen in a long time!

Happy Lunar New Year!
2022 is the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture this symbolizes bravery, confidence and strength

Its still quite a while until the Tulip harvest season starts, however these little beauties have finished their prep and are frozen and waiting for autumn.

Tomorrow the sun comes up on another brand-new year. If the last two years have taught us anything it's to expect the unexpected. Happy new year to everyone, we hope you have a safe evening, an enjoyable festive season and a prosperous 2022.
Thank you to all our customers and suppliers for working with us through 2021, we look forward to the challenges and rewards next year will undoubtedly give us all.

And that's Christmas eve, time for some festivities! A challenging few months with supplies coming almost too late, planting bulbs uncharacteristically late but we've managed to get everything done on time.
We will be open again Monday and we will be picking again too.
Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy the festivities.
Please look after your pets too, 44 and 43 degrees is not a great for flowers nor for pets

Exactly a week later than the last Gerbera pic and we have flowers! Even more surprising, Picobello, which is normally by far the slowest to start flowering, is now one of the first. 2021, still dishing up the unexpected 😁
Numbers will only improve in the next few weeks.
22/11/2021
Our new Gerbera's are growing up quick, the first flowers are not too far away!
18/10/2021
Lisianthus are back! We are very happy to see our first locally grown lisianthus being harvested. A welcome addition to the assortment, especially as the Iris and Tulips are finished, and we wait for the new Gerbera's to kick in
15/10/2021
Our winter Iris have all but finished for 2021. That means its spring and were close to getting our first Gladiolus!....and Christmas is not too far away either 😲
Spring
02/10/2021

As anyone spotted our colourful new truck signage? Big thanks to ExBo Visual for the awesome new look!
06/09/2021
Our locally grown Snapdragons will be all gone for the winter but the end of this week. They have proven popular and a welcome addition to out assortment.
27/07/2021
Its the middle of winter, cold and wet but that also means Snappies. We are as full as possible with Chrysanthemums but we still found some space for these beauties!
21/06/2021
Today marks the winter solstice, its the shortest day of 2021.....
Tomorrow we officially turn the corner to summer ☺️
18/06/2021
First Lisianthus are in the ground! Its the start of winter, but were working towards spring crops, and these little beauties need a fair bit of extra time to grow over this cooler climate.

Were Almost there, Its Sunday morning, Happy Mothers Day!
As every year, ill take this opportunity to thank our staff for all the extra hours you have all done this last week or more. To every one of our loyal customers, thank you for your orders, for coming back for top ups and most of all thank you for your understanding. This is an insanely busy week for everyone, I am proud to stand behind our product, but its impossible to fill every order 100%. Especially when imported alternatives are more expensive than locally grown. Mothers day production still amazes us every year, we have filled every last square at the nursery to try to get good supply, yet every year there is more demand for good quality flowers. 🥰
For that we both thank you for supporting us, and also your understanding and patience in this amazingly hectic week.
Good luck to all our customers open today, enjoy your rest tonight and remember were still picking.... see you tomorrow......after a good sleep 😊😁
05/05/2021
4:30am and we called in reinforcements. 🙂😊🥰

Today's big task, DISBUD chrysanthemums, the traditional pom pom style chrysanthemums flowers.
Its as busy as it gets in our industry, a few very very long days coming up packing orders.
02/05/2021
This weekend we pick through to keep up. Lots of lovely locally grown flowers picked and packed here by our staff who don't want a Sunday sleep in anyway 😊..7 days to Mothers day 😍
29/04/2021
It finally feels like Autumn in .
One busy week this week as a precursor for a ridiculously busy week next week 😁
13/04/2021
Floraco's locally grown tulips are just around the corner. We will be picking the first bunches over the weekend, you should see the first ones in store early next week, with numbers building quickly.
....We have LOTS for Mother's Day 🙂
24/03/2021
Its the end of another Lisianthus season. We will not have any for Easter or Mothers day, reason being we need all the space we can get for Chrysanthemums and the crop time cycle wont allow any spare space for Lisianthus.
15/03/2021
We are about to change over from the last of last years bulbs, to the first of our newly imported bulbs. An interesting challenge to get 12 month old bulbs to flower at the same time as freshly imported stock from a completely different bulb production season.
