Our Top 10 Summer Flowers
In this week’s Blog, we are talking about our top 10 Summer Flowers. These are all flowers our customers have been loving, and ones we love to have stocked in our Marlow Shop and our Bourne End Shop.
- Delphiniums
Delphiniums are native throughout the Northern Hemisphere and also on the high mountains of tropical Africa. They last 5-7 days in a vase, depending on how well they’re kept and the environment they’re kept in. Our florists love incorporating them into summer bouquets to add depth and length. They aren’t very strong in scent, and the scent they have can be described as clean. We especially love sky blue and dark blue Delphiniums, as you can see below.микрозаймы через интернет

Sunflowers are native to North America and Central America. They last 5-10 days in a vase, depending on how well they’re kept and the environment they’re kept in.

Our customers love sunflowers whether they’re on their own in a bunch, incorporated into a summer bouquet, or simply made into a bouquet adding complimentary foliage. Here are some of our products using Sunflowers below.
