Florist News

Did anyone catch who was the orchid grower? just looked up the bbc website and it's not on there.

Who was recording it....???? Alby - you need to check for me!

I started memorising the names but can't remember who was who.

There was a company called Greenlines and another grower called K. Naylor
Will post again if I can remember any others.

I knew I should've got a pen!!!

I recorded it Leila, will have another look over the weekend, dig out their details for you, they did look scrummy. I buy British paeonies, the farm was featured in fwb mag last year, they are truly wonderful, far far better than the dutch ones and much better choice of varieties, absolutely stunning. I buy isles of scilly narcissi too. But nothing else. It's hard to find the english growers, and the logistics of min quantity/cost of carriage etc are against them vs the dutch. Pity.

his alstro is wicked.


i buy 16 bunches a week for 20 quid

you're a star, thank you!

I did record, will let you know. Not seen yet.

We have apparently had people in the shop today looking for English grown flowers. That programme did us no favours and played right into the supermarkets' hands, with their bulk buying direct from the growers.

What? Supermarkets are buying from English growers? I cant believe that. Its just not viable for us to buy British. My english guys have a few brit bits on but never huge amounts, theres just not enough to sustain the market is there?

Anybody know if that episode is repeated its just i didn't get to see as there was a bloody international rugby match on instead in N.Irish telly?
