LA Lily
Your lilies will arrive in bud and take about 4-5 days to open but once they do you’ll most definitely know about it – they’re real show-offs. If you’re not a fan of pollen, then once open you can pluck off the stamens using a lily leaf.
Chasmanthus
These eccentric floral flames are native to America where they are seen as relatively rare native grass. They thrive in partial shade so keep them out of the direct sun.
Fuego Bloom
These floral in-fleur-nos will bring a little heat to any display. They’ll arrive with biodegradable nets on (made from sea kelp!) so remove them gently from the bottom up to watch them unfurl. They’ll also last for ages so make sure you cut them down over the weeks – read to pop them in a cut-down vase or in bud vases.
