Valentines 2024 - Important Information

We continue to learn and adapt during this period. The flower offering for Valentines is a little different too. Please carefully read the information below so you are best informed.

NZ ROSES
These continue to be very difficult to pre-order in our usual high quantities. Please advise any specific colour requirements and we will do our best to secure. Anything we can't confirm in advance we will have to try and buy from auction where the vast majority of items are sold in assorted buckets.

CASPEA, GYPSOPHILA, SOLIDAGO
We have modest quantities of these flowers confirmed. Any orders above these levels will need to be purchased from auction (if available) hence them being flagged as market price. While we would like to be more optimistic, history tells us Gypsophila could end up around $40 so be prepared.

COLOMBIAN ROSES
Still in the post-Covid era we see risks in the supply chain. We detailed many of these risks in Christmas just gone and it went well. While we are hopeful of a repeat we are relying on a lot of logistics.

STANDARD CARNATIONS
We continue to have trouble sourcing carnations, particularly in any form other than mixed buckets. This makes it very hard for us to offer this product as set colours such as red and white as in each bucket there is usually only one white bunch. We have NOT put Standard Carnations on our buy list, if you would like to order some, please get in touch and order in ASSORTED.

INDIAN ROSES
We are offering these economical roses again this year but logistical risks remain high. We aren't regularly importing from India at the moment so success is hard to gauge. Please note that these will only be available for dispatch on later days.

PLEASE PLACE YOUR VALENTINES WEEK ORDERS BY 10 PM MONDAY 15 JANUARY
