Happy Flowers

When we started out with our flower business we had little idea how much impact our flowers would have. People come to us with stories about their love of Gerberas, and they talk of the bright colourful flowers that perhaps cheered them up at a low time in their lives, or the part these flowers played in an event in their lives - weddings with Gerberas are popular.
When we pick the flowers we often have what we call "Seconds" - flowers that for one reason or another are not suitable for the market. Perhaps the flower has a smiley face instead of a round centre, a double header (photos of these will appear in this blog over time), or the flower is not mature enough, or too mature. We give these away. The alternative is to throw them away - but we choose to give them.

It is pure bliss to see the enjoyment these flowers have on people. Seconds? We seem to be the only ones that notice that these flowers have been created with a little blemish.
