Covid-19 and rainy weather continue to impact the farms with prices driven up for all flowers to prices we have never before seen. These prices have also been heavily impacted by the rising costs of all materials and fuels. We are still committed to purchasing our flowers directly from as many farms as we can favouring locally grown blooms at our little store over imports as we have done since 1998.

Already this month we've had early jonquils, freesias, hyacinth, tulips, iris and a few sweet pea. We have also had some lovely oramental kale in beautiful purples and greens and although we are not expecting ranunculas or poppies until later in the month.

All the winter lines are now available with plenty of tulips, iris, freesia and hyacinths around.  Have not yet seen local ranunculus or anemone.

Roses are beautiful with a full colour range available.  They look lovely in the weddings.

David Austin roses have been stunning in the first half of this month and we had some lovely roses for weddings.  The supply has been a little patchy though, and some weeks it has been harder to source the David Austins than others, and the adverse weather will make them hard to find in this last week of April.

Lisianthus is available and has been beautiful.

Dahlias and Gloriosa lilies were the highlight of this month but the Gloriosa finished mid month and the dahlias have become scarce by the end of the month.  There has been a beautiful colour range in the dahlias pinks, burgundies, yellows and whites with a great range in head sizes.

Some imported callas have been available, and not a great range of colours.  White arums have been scarce, with the crop not yet in full swing. Hydrangeas have finished.

Snaps are still available. Hybrid delphinium was available at the beginning of April (mainly in purple and white) but has now finished.  Blue butterfly delphinium has been available for the second two weeks of the month. Stock is just starting now.   Babies breath has been readily available. Stephanotis has finished.

Birds of paradise are available. Carnations, including green trick, have been available.  Marguerite daisies have been available.

Orchids, lilies and gerberas are readily available. 

Sea holly, banksias (2-3 types) and leucadendron are available.  Kings proteas have been available, as have pink ice and grandicolour protea.  There is no wax flower, no blushing bride, very few flannel flower and the like.

Privet berries has been available changing from green to black over the month.  Snow berry was around in early April but finished by the end of April.  Hanging amaranth has started. Peris has been available, but hard to get.  Lotus pods are becoming more scarce and only found a few.  There are some browned pods around.

There is one thing that must be available on 14 February and that is red roses.  That also means that for the rest of the month red roses are rare and expensive.  Its rare beforehand as growers have cut back their rose bushes and trying to time the flowering in time for Valentine's Day, and rare afterwards as they pick their crops so hard to get the numbers up.

In general flower availability has been effected by Covid-19. With the huge cost in importing flowers from overseas and limited space on incoming flights demand for locally grown blooms has increased 10 fold. Luckily we have always sourced the majority of our flowers from Australian farms so we are in good position to be able to get a better variety of blooms but with the increased demand for Australian grown the prices of dramatically increased. The cost of running a business during the pandemic has also hit an all time high with much anxiety around not only sourcing products but avoiding the need to go into isolation when you are a close contact and having to protect ourselves and families from actually getting Covid.

We found we were able to source the below this month.

Lisianthus were beautiful and abundant, and a good flower choice for warmer weather not that we have seen many hot days.  The dahlias are lovely, in pinks, magentas, whites, oranges and yellows.  Hydrangea has been stunning towards the start of the month.

Singapore orchids are still available.  The phalaenopsis have been stunning, with a lovely colour range.  Local cymbidium have finished but imported cymbidium orchids are around.

Blue and purple delphinium has been thin on the ground (particularly the light blue), but the hybrid whites have been plentiful. 

Callas have been available in burgundy, oranges, yellows and creams. We are getting carnations, alstromeria, gerbera, chrysanthemum, babies breath and asters.

Bird of paradise started back this month, and plenty of gladioli just in time for Chinese New Year.

Flowering gum has been lovely this month. Proteas, banksias, repens, leucadendrons, grevillea, brunei and straw flowers have also been available.

Lilies (oriental, asiatics) have been plentiful at market.  We are not recommending oriental lilies for wedding bouquet in February as oriental lilies do not like temperatures over 30 degrees. They are fine for table arrangements in air-conditioned function rooms, or in a cool place in your home.  Asiatics are a bit better in the heat, although still not the best choice - lisianthus or orchids are a safer bet for a hot day.

The highlights of January have been dahlias, lisianthus, callas and gloriosa lilies.

Dahlias have been lovely, with beautiful whites looking lovely in the wedding bouquets. Hydrangea has been quite expensive though very lovely.  Sunflowers have been very nice. Birds of paradise were not available in January.

Flowers to take the heat are roses, lisianthus and orchids.  Red roses were scarce towards the end of the month as growers get ready for Valentine's Day and although most of our roses are Australian grown the costs have been increasing due to a higher demand of Australian products with rising import costs due to covid.

David Austin roses have been available on and off all month as the rose bushes flush.

Callas have been available during January, although there are fewer and fewer Australian growers, and the colour range has been limited. 

The gloriosa lily has also been available and beautiful.  Although there has been plenty of hybrid delphinium, blue butterfly has been scarce making finding a true blue flower difficult over this time. Peonies are definitely out.

Lilies (oriental, asiatics) have been plentiful at market.  We are not recommending oriental lilies for wedding bouquets in January as oriental lilies do not like temperatures over 30 degrees. They are fine for table arrangements in air-conditioned function rooms, or in a cool place in your home.  Asiatics are a bit better in the heat, although still not the best choice - lisianthus or orchids are a safer bet for a hot day.

Singapore orchids are still available.  The phalaenopsis have been stunning, with a lovely colour range.  Local cymbidium have finished but imported cymbidium orchids are around.

We are getting carnations, alstromeria, gerbera, chrysanthemum, babies breath and asters.

The kangaroo paw has been lovely and we are still getting king proteas, and a few different types of banksia.  Bruneii has been about the only green berry available, and imported hypericum is around. 

Vibernum, magnolia and camellia have been a little soft but readily available.

Flowers usually around in January (and the colours they come in) are -

Agapanthus (purple, white)

November has so far seen many beautiful flowers. One of the most notable being the beautiful peonies from our flower growers. David Austin roses have been readily available this month and hydrangea has finally come in but with a slow start to the season due to the weather.

Spring flowers are well and truly on their way out, although we have been able to source freesias during the first half of the month.  Daffodils, jonquils and anemones have definitely finished and no longer available.

Some native are becoming hard to get. Pink Ice protea and several banksia varieties are now extremely limited. Candle banksia is still around but very pricey and gum foliage is limited and the quality is low.

Peonies have started and are lovely but still pricey.

Foliage has been available in abundance but quality control has been difficult due to the new spring growth. Especially different gum foliage varieties as the growers hold off cutting on the farms due to the new soft growth.  

Roses in general have been abundant and beautiful.

Lisianthus started towards the end of November and are beautiful, as have locally grown calla lilies.

Lilies have been readily available.  November lilies are, of course, lovely and available.

Singapore orchids are still available.  The Phalaenopsis have been stunning, with a lovely colour range.  Local cymbidium finished by the start of this month but imported cymbidium orchids are around though quite pricey.

Waratah have been in abundance at the start of the month but expected to be scarce shortly, and paper daisies are expected to be finished by the end of the month. King protea, queen protea, leaucadendron, banksia, pincushions, wax flower, tetra nuts, thrypomene and kangaroo paw has been available.  Flannel flowers started this month. Blushing bride has been hard to get and no flowering gum yet.

Delphinium and snap dragons have been beautiful.  Sunflowers have been stunning. Stock and poppies are expected to be finished by the end of November. Lavender is now available, and I have been able to source a few sweet peas for weddings.

Carnations, alstromeria, babies breath, gerbera and chrysanthemum have been around.

Gloriosa lily started mid November.

We did have some ivy berry early in November. Bruneii has been available all month. Hypericum (imported) has been available.

As lockdown from Covid-19 continues we have been very busy delivering flowers around Canberra. It has been so humbling to see all of the message of love and support you have been sending out with your flowers and we are so grateful for all of the support we have been getting as a small business in Canberra.

In October we are continuing to see some very lovely local blooms. Imported flowers have been a bit trickier due to the lack of flights coming in and the high costs involved for the growers to import the flowers.

Locally grown Chincherinchee have started this month and are looking very nice. Tree peonies are expected to start in the 2nd half of the month but the standard peonies have not yet been available.

We have continued to have beautiful ranunculus the first half of the month but by mid month they are expected to  become scarce with a very limited colour range.

Freesia, hyacinth, tulips and iris have continued to be available.

Sweet pea and poppies have still been available on and off throughout October and have been a little difficult to source. 

We have been getting a beautiful selection of both locally grown roses and imports.  All the roses have been beautiful and of high quality.  Mainly imported Davids Austin style roses have been available, although we did manage to source some locally grown David Austins and although these were lovely the stems were quite short. 

Gerberas are beautiful, and available in abundance.

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

Orchids, oriental lilies (limited), asiatic lilies, carnations, alstromeria and chrysanthemum have been available.  Local cymbidium orchids finished this month.

Beautiful waratah is flushing this month in reds, whites and greens. 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 is available. Proteas, including kings, have been available and flannel flower started this month.

Wattle foliage has started to become scarce.

Blossom has finished.  Hydrangea has started the 1st half of this month but as always it's only available in limited supply and mainly in white though other colours are expected towards the end of the month.

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.
