11 reasons to stop and smell the roses

22 December 2022

It’s almost universally agreed that a beautiful bouquet of flowers is the perfect way to show someone special that you care. Whether you're buying lilies for a loved one, frangipanis for a friend, dahlias for a first date, sunflowers for a complete stranger or something for yourself, your local florist has you covered.

There’s always a reason to buy flowers, even if the reason is “no reason at all”.

To help you discover your next floral find, we have pulled together a fragrant bunch of local florists.
