hello i am also new to this site but also new to floristry (relatively speaking) as a child i gre up with an aunt who was a principle designer in a flower shop. anyway after 10 yrs of hairdressing the last 4 of which were spent in my own successful salon. i decided to follow my childhood dream and open my own flower shop!! and now 7 weeks on we are getting busier and busier, i will no doubt be frequenting this wonderful group of experts and the likes and asking many questions, and trying to learn as much as poss. thanks for being so nice and friendly. steve
