Haapai Blooms

Kia ora e te whānau 🌸✨

I’m so excited to share the heart and soul behind our new logo. This design isn’t just a logo—it’s a reflection of who we are.

At the center of it all is *Pirongia*, our maunga, standing tall above the flower farm and grounding us in the whenua. The beautiful flower was hand-drawn by my incredibly talented stepdaughter—a special taonga that makes this design so deeply personal.

The name *Haapai* speaks to “support” and the mahi that happens behind the scenes to make everything bloom. It’s a reminder of the aroha, patience, and care poured into every stem we grow.

At Haapai Blooms, we’re all about sharing the magic of flowers—bringing joy (and dopamine) lifting spirits, and improving hauora (well-being). Whether it’s a single bloom or a bouquet, we hope our flowers bring you moments of connection and happiness. 💕🌿

Ngā mihi nui for being a part of our journey.

Missed ‘most’ of the rain picking this morning 😜. There will be bouquets on the cart later or I can reserve one for you to pick up. I am also very happy to deliver locally. $25 per bouquet. I have cards for an extra $5 - perfect for when you have forgotten to grab one in town! 🌸🩷🌸

Thanks again for your support - all of the flowers are grown right here in Te Pahu from seed or tubers!

I’m really excited to be launching my seeds tonight @ 7pm. Shop link in stories or via bio. I get ridiculously excited about breeding new varieties - if you purchase seeds make sure you keep me updated on the blooms you get in your lucky dip! 🌸🩷🌸

Wizard of Oz - was one of my faves this season. One of the most prolific bloomers. I have some of her seeds up for sale soon. It was next to a tiny orange pompom (Bantling) - imagine what their babies could look like?!

I dried a few stems from last summer. Enough to make one very special bouquet. I will try and save more for next year. Statice is one of my all time fav flowers - lasts for ages and comes in such lovely colours 😍

That’s it for the season. Bittersweet as we bid farewell to the Summer flowers and begin prep for our Spring flowers. Thank you to everyone that has supported our little business, we cant wait to grow even more flowers for next year! 🌸🩷🌸

Could be my last bouquets of the season. Zinnia are still hanging in there but the dahlias are almost all done. What a crazy first season! Can’t wait to do it all again 🌸🩷🌸
