send flowers in London WC1

IMG_20150529_132014Birds of paradise, or strelitzia, are a lasting flower. When the flower dies, prise open the beak, & gently pull out the new flower inside. Keep any leaves that come with the flowers. They dry beautifully into interesting curves & become a stone colour.

This customer asked for a summery bouquet, to include one strelitzia. Maybe it was the memory of an exotic holiday!

We still have our offer of a £25 bouquet with free delivery in WC1/Holborn. call us on 020 7831 6776, or order through the webshop. www.stemsfloraldesign.com
