well thank you for that, maybe I could still go down a semi gothic route and the reason for the parallel design is reaching for the sky with my tall stems! Thanks again! x

Sort of a 'Douglas Bader' arrangement?

I am loving this message board! Thank you! Now, along with parallel designs and gothic conservatorys I am researching Douglas Bader!! Can you tell me more??

Yes your english is very good and it is good you both work together you will be able to help each other along maybe a few others will join up then we will have a real international flavour. Rach

Hi Hells do you mean Douglas Bader the pilot/double amputee???

Ok now how did we get from parallel designs to Douglas Bader, me thinks f2h has been on the vino again .......... Anyway back down to earth (oops no pun intended!!) Has anyone been over to the auctions, am thinking of going maybe April/May time and want to know which is the best. And is there anywhere else (floristry wise) I should consider going.

Have you been to basic and trends and waterdrinker later has fab display of plants roughly 75% of items can be x by 4 remainder by 3 some can be priced higher just depends on your market, nice plants in gel in vases, planters in glassware/ceramic although basket planters are also available can't remember name of other place but was there just before xmas bought baskets for few cents each similar to what we get from wholesaler at around £1.25 great mark up but make sure to take in delivery charges when pricing up.Delivery cost to Ireland for trolley was approx 150.00 but can cover yourself well with mark up. Make sure your purchases fill dutch trolley delivery is same for one shelf as for full trolley

Douglas Bader = Reach For The Sky

Yes fly2hi What about this day of you are going to have

first 'sickie' i've taken in over ten years was last week with 3 days in bed with the dreaded 'man flu'. Really knocked me sideways. I'd been thinking for ages that i would like to be able to spend a couple of days in bed just doing absolutely nothing, but when you get there it doesn't seem like a good idea any more.
