The first day of winter has arrived. Unlike many places around the world our winter does not herald rain. In Brisbane it is usually a very dry period - though it can be cold. It was 3 degrees in the "hot house" yesterday as we picked flowers. My hands were freezing and painful with the cold. I wear light rubber gloves to pick, but they have no warmth in them at all.
What does happen to the flowers is that they slow down. Still lovely flowers but they take longer to mature. So we don't need to pick so often.
Florists at the moment are finding it difficult to get some flowers and as our production is down we have some disappointed customers. That's life.
