They're not a flower I would usually choose to purchase, however, I absolutely love how the dianthus I have used in this tied presentation bouquet look just like little butterflies 🦋

I don't do this job for glory or recognition, but I'm not going to lie; when customers take the time to say "Thank you" through emails, calls, or cards, it means the world to me.

Such gestures are deeply appreciated.

These are my two most recent cards 🥰🥰

As I've said many times, & will keep repeating, when it comes to floral tributes we are only limited by your imagination & our skills. This pillow shows that even the simplest tribute can be uniquely personalised.

All eight of these hand tieds have been received by one of our lovely customers in the past fortnight; Tuesday - Friday last week, Monday - Thursday this week.

Who said "Romance is dead"? 💞💞

Being the professional that I am, I realised after I had sent a wedding quote out to a bride and her groom that I had used the word buttholes instead of butthonholes! 😮

Anyway, here's some lovely lilacs we sent out this morning - where I (thankfully) got all the spellings correct!

Just as a magpie is drawn to shiny objects, I'm drawn to the different coloured flowers at the wholesalers; not because I like them, but because I'm curious to see how they look in person. I'm not convinced...

also I think I might be a magpie because I love shiny things too! 🤣

The bridal bouquet we made for one of our beautiful brides last weekend 🩷 💚

Pink Mondial Roses, Sarah Bernhardt Peonies (they smelled divine) White Double Rosita Lisianthus with mixed asparagus ferns, bear grass, ivy, cinerea eucalyptus and a smidge of gyp.

What an absolutely crazy, busy couple of weeks my amazing customers have put me through. I don't mind admitting I'm more than a little exhausted; age is not on my side quite-so-much as once it was!

There are so many photo's of different flowery things I could share but for now I think this pergola we decorated for a wedding on Saturday is perfect.

I am so grateful I got to do this; it was not only fascinating but a real eye opened too.

This image resurfaced on my cloud timeline today. Typically, I wouldn't repost something I've already shared. However, this particular moment was so unique, and since we've gained more likes and followers since then, I thought I'd share it again. So, here it is!

Beautifully modelled by our very own Chris :)

A posy arrangement to match the sunny day we are having 🌞

Early last week I had some chrysant left over from an order (sometimes I think I do it subconsciously 😆) and you all know how I hate to see them go to waste, so this time, having seen three the week before, I decided to make a Raccoon 🦝 face at least, I didn't overbuy too much!

I typically steer clear of politics; everyone has their own thoughts, opinions, and reasons for voting (which is nobody else's business) and the shops social media should really only be about our flowers. However, with a local election approaching this Thursday, I urge you to pause and consider the impact of your decision on others. Just because an issue doesn't directly affect you now doesn't mean it won't in the future. I'm certain nobody in Fareham Park Road (top, middle and bottom of the road) ever thought local decisions would negatively impact them daily, until it did. Where are those elected officials now, the ones who promised to listen to and work for their constituents, and where have they been, when those very constituents have needed them most?

I know there are many of you considering not voting because you believe it won't make a difference; I hope you will reconsider.

Apathy won't bring about change, but your vote could be the catalyst for real action. Your vote could make the difference between overlooking unethical behaviour or actively aiding and assisting your neighbours, perhaps even yourself. As a local resident and small business owner, born and raised in this area, I've witnessed at firsthand a lack of support from our council and elected representatives.

Our current Police and Control Commissioner is aligned with the ruling political party of the borough. I personally feel nobody should be above the law, and I can't help but wonder if there could be potential negative repercussions or biased decision-making due to this affiliation. Might it influence decisions regarding certain issues that have adversely affected our local area?

Those who were voted in were done so on the basis they were "all about our local community".! My business neighbour eventually sold up, and at one point, I contemplated doing the same because no assistance has ever been forthcoming in helping us deal with some of the issues we face daily. However, you can bet the odds would be stacked against us if we were to step out of line with regards any regulations; they would come down on us quicker than the multi-storey carpark did.

Even if your preferred candidate doesn’t win, your vote really does matter. Please, take the time to make it count.

You know I try not to share our funeral tributes on this page, hence why we have a designated one, but sometimes I just have to. sorry if seeing them upsets any one.

Another beautiful full casket spray - this one was over 60" in length - created for one of our customers this week.

The red roses (Monte Carlo) were a variety I have never used before and were absolutely stunning with large heads and a solid form. The green roses (Camouflage) were slightly smaller but were always intended to take a back seat. Interspersed with them were green santini & a red chrysant, green lisianthus, white single chrysant, red carnations and a mix of foliages including eucalyptus.

Nothing to see here; just some gorgeous pastel shades 💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷

It's that season again... the peonies (whilst massively expensive) are available in a multitude of colours. These red ones are huge and simply stunning.

I often get told “no gerbera; they don’t last and their heads droop”. Just yesterday I was asked not to include them in an order for this reason, so I thought I’d share with you some I have at home.

I bought them on the 21st March; they were on ‘Special Offer’ so were most likely already a good few days (possibly even a week) old by the time I took them home. I cut their stems, put them in water and as you can see, three weeks later they’ve not drooped and are still very much alive and thriving.

There are no pins through their necks or wires in their heads holding them upright. There’s no flower food (a total gimmick) lemonade, sugar or any other random thing you may have been told to add to the water. They are literally stood in just a couple of inches of tap water. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have completed a water change every 3 days and each time I’ve taken a mere sliver from the bottom of the stem – this helps stop the bottom from sealing over and not being able to take up any more water. Thats it. I’ve done nothing else to them. In fact, for their first 5 days of life they sat on my bathroom sink in front of a window (do not do as I have done in this situation though. Please always keep flowers away from windowsills and any other source of heat.) the saving grace being its north facing and gets no sun - not that we’ve had any sun anyway!

As many of you know, we at the shop are staunch advocates for Fareham Men's Shed and many times I've displayed (and ordered) many items the gents have made... these, however, are most definitely some of my favourites...

They can be used for plants, pot pourri, keys and even fresh flowers - which once ready for the compost heap leaves them open to be reused/repurposed.

You can purchase them 'Ready Made' or in a kit form to build/paint yourselves.

I only have the 2 on display inside the shop but as you can see from the photographs there are many different breeds to choose from.

Just to remind you all the shop is now closed until 10am on Weds 3rd April so I can have a few days 'RnR' (decorating!) and enjoying the beautiful British Bank Holiday weather! 🥴

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it. 💛

A sweet little spring coloured basket to bright up this Monday morning 💛💚

When I reached the shop this morning, I discovered a small, unexpected surprise on the forecourt: a pile of 💩.

Irritated, I accessed the doorbell app with the intention of identifying and perhaps shaming the negligent owner responsible.

However, upon seeing the mischievous perpetrators, I couldn't help but smile—though I remain displeased that they selected my forecourt as the location for their deposit! 😆

is it just me or are these tulips watching me and laughing??

I'm blessed - occasionally cursed - to still have my Mum to treat on this . So many of my customers are not as lucky so today I want to remember all the Mums whose children can't physically visit them with flowers and chocolates 💔 💐
