The weather warms

Thankfully the weather is starting to warm up - so there's lots of buds coming. We have had an increase in production and the flowers are good quality - but the stems are quite short. The florists are happy to take them though - as there is a scarcity of all flowers at the moment.

Carnations grown locally have been destroyed by the cold weather, and the tropical flower growers - especially those who grow heliconias have all reported massive damage from the cold weather and consequently are having trouble supplying their florists too.

This week we were able to supply most of our florists - or should I say all of our florists, but not as many flowers as they would normally expect.

Fortunately it is getting better.
