hiya rach, I have noticed more and more people asking where my flowers come from, quite often I see they aren't impressed when I say columbia, holland, israel etc because of the effect on the enviroment it causes getting them over here, having locally grown lilies may be a little more expensive but you will be supporting a local business and using less "food miles" to get your product to you. Could be a good selling point, I'd def consider it if I had the option.
