September 2020 Flower Availability

SPRING IS HERE! The days are getting warmer, Floriade has started and the flowers available this month are a promise of more beautiful days ahead.

We saw the start of Sydney grown ranunculus this month, along with anemone, sweet pea, freesias, hyacinth, tulips, iris and popies

We have been getting locally grown and imported roses with all the roses coming in the loveliest colours and having beautiful large heads.

Blue butterfly delphinium has been available in royal blue, light blue and white.  Snap dragons and stock have also been beautiful.

Orchids, oriental lilies, asiatic lilies, longiflorum lilies, carnations, alstromeria and chrysanthemum have been easily available.  Local cymbidium orchids continue to be fantastic, in a lovely colour range tho numbers are expected to be limited towards the end of the month.

Gymea lilies have still been available this month.  Sea holly, blushing bride, banksias (coccinea, hookerania and menziesii), beautiful red and green leacadendron, berzillea and gumnuts have been available. Red wax bud and wax flower have both been available.  Pink and brown boronia has started and the red waratah have been absolutely stunning tho a little pricey.

Pink and white blossom branches has been available this month, but easing in numbers.

Only some imported lisianthus and hypericum have been available.
