I love how tulips will just do their own thing in an arrangement. The first photo was taken on the day I made the arrangement and the other two were the next day. They just decided to lift up their heads and I swear they grew overnight too!!

A small sample of what went out this week.... the white waratah making an appearance in quite a few, aren't they so stunning! We are open tomorrow from 10am till 1pm, and have a nice selection available. Maybe a little thank you gift to the grandparents for helping out in the school holidays...

An arrangement we did a few weeks ago for a special client that had me sweating bullets. Why is it that photos never do the work justice... Those burgundy orchids from Calla & Co 😍 I just wish those dark colours showed up better in photos. And NZ grown anthuriums (thanks freeda.nz ) along with the very first of the local (yes Taupo) tulips - these ones from Ellie Godwin

Personally I'd love a tulip bouquet over a rose bouquet any day. I love how they bend the way they want to... not necessarily the way you want them to 😂 Best of all they mean deep love.

Available to order on the website now or instore.

It's like Christmas here... finally the local tulips have started blooming just when everyone else's are finishing. That's one of the great things about our climate, things come on a little later here so we get to enjoy them for longer.

If you love tulips we'll have bunches available instore or on our website.
