The Owl and The Pussycat

I first saw Kangaroo Paw in Boston more than a decade ago. It was the deepest crimson brown in colour;

I had never seen anything so fanciful. The soft buds were both delicate and furry to the touch and I couldn't help but wonder why nature created something so whimsical. Do you know?

Seeing the branches arrive, with drops of sunshine at their tips, makes me grin and reminds me of a childhood rhyme; I love that we have it in the shop this week. Of course in limited quantities just for you.

CARING FOR YOUR FLOWERS

Cut Flowers
There are several ways to ensure that your flowers last longer. Before arranging your flowers in a vase, trim the stems on a slight angle. Top up the container regularly with fresh water. Keep your flowers away from drafts and direct sunlight -- the cooler the room, the longer your flowers will last. Remove spent flowers as they fade.

Hand Tied Arrangements
Our hand tied flowers are presented cinched at the waist in a cellophane package filled with water. Once the flowers arrive home, they should be transferred to a vase. Fill the vase two-thirds full of cool water. Untie the package over a sink (otherwise the water will spill onto the counter) and transfer the arrangement to your vase. Check the water level regularly as flowers get thirsty, replacing the water completely every few days.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our floral designers collaborate with clients to portray their story or message through flowers. For weddings we talk about the things you love. We find inspiration from the most unexpected places within the fabric of your lives and from that, a theme is developed. Each couple's journey is unique and we are passionate about bringing your vision to life with flowers and local foliage with just the right accents while working within your budget. We tell your story through colour, texture and composition. We ask: What do flowers mean to you?

For local companies, we draw from their philosophy, industry and architecture, ensuring that their floral designs -- most often located in the reception and boardroom areas -- reflect their aesthetic.
