Not very mature don't you think?
Wow so many replies, must have hit a sore spot.

It's worth pointing out to those of you who think floristry is complicated - It's not! By any stretch of the imagination but if it's what you need to tell yourself so you can sleep at night then you go right ahead now. I don't have any plans to be a florist but the sundries used are pretty straight forward, they are non perishable and consumable which is good. As for being over saturated - the sundries market is certainly full of suppliers but with margins this high it can't be overly competitive, most wholesalers are middle men and don't have any desire to reduce costs by shortening the supply chain.

I do have some knowledge of what products are popular but I was hoping this could highlight anything I've missed.

I'd still be interested to get an idea though. Those of you who have failed to make the progression from childhood to adulthood need not reply.

Agenda
Must you have your two pence worth? You've already illustrated your your unwillingness to offer advice. I get that, now can you leave so that those who have some useful advice can post it and those who don't can atleast read it? That is what a forum is afterall.

You may want to change your thinking on that if you want to get yourself some florist customers as you have possibly just insulted approximately 3000 florists that are members on this forum.

Complicated
What I meant was that anyone can learn it. The previous post made out that It needed to be bestowed on me some higher power.

that's where you are wrong- you've either got it or you haven't- you can teach someone the techniques but if you haven't got the natural flair, you will never 'flourish'...JMO anyway
