Can you believe British Poinsettia are going to be in stores next week ?! The grower tells me it gets earlier every year! it's certainly a tactic to increase sales !! We will be collecting samples next week too so and discussions will continue with hauliers regarding transport of British grown plants as it seems there is demand!
Do we miss Autumn by being so far ahead of the season? I'm most definitely done with pumpkins... lol... interestingly the scented Narcissi sold out in our shops last week too - seems consumers are certainly getting ahead!
This weekend is the BFA Awards and Vision Conference where I am also on the speakers line up answering all the florists burning questions about the British bit of the Flowers & Plants industry. Tickets at the BFA website
