For weeks we've been running low by Monday and by Tuesday, we are positively sold out. The fridge looks barren as does the shop. You can almost hear the cries: "Feed my soul with colour." And we can't have that! So we are now receiving a shipment on Tuesdays. This week our schedules danced around Tropical Storm Gabrielle and as the flowers were unpacked, and colour filled the shop, the clouds began to lift cutting a path across the sky.
Gladioli and Lilies over 3 feet high! Gloriosa Lilies in magenta tinged with lemon, Parrot Tulips in Apricot and lime green in September. Can you imagine?. Snow white Snowberry in the softest shades of white and pink, lavender roses and the deepest shade of red Ranunculus. Good heavens!
As I looked around the shop, I grinned the biggest grin. The kind that Amanda says makes my eyes look squinty disappear and I look all teeth. It was my "hug-me-why-don't-you" oh so incredibly happy face. Suddenly all was right with the world. That's what's so wonderful about our flowers; they make everything okay.
But don't take my word for it, visit our shop on 19 Queen Street and take home your own touch of magic.
