Yeah know what you mean. We used to have to have trading cards which we got only on production of proof we worked for or owned a florists business - now any Jack or Jill can nip in. Even the minimum spends are so low there is no dis-incentive to local folk. Progress, eh?

I order most of my stuff online from Flowervision, Jet supplies and IS group. Also have a man on a van but no use to you as I'm the other end of the country!

Stemstyle (harrogate) won't let kitchens sinkers etc in, but you'll have to prove you are a trader and don't take anyone that does run the shop or even works for you

You could try Rainbow florist supplies, they have either a general login for Joe Public or a trade account/login.
