If this is not possible the bouquet will be returned to our shop in Sliema where it can be picked up the next day free of charge. If an additional delivery is required a supplemental delivery fee needs to be paid. Delivery to a different address more than 1km away from the original address will also require an additional delivery charge.

Flowers need to be placed immediately in water and apply a fresh cut to the stems before placing in water. Always keep the level of the water as high as possible remember flowers take up water from the whole stem not just the bottom of the stem. Replace the water with fresh water every 2 - 3 days, make sure to remove any leaves from the water. Keep away from direct sunlight or appliances that give off heat. Sometimes adding ice to the water particularly in hotter months can also be beneficial for the flower. We also recommend you add 2 teaspoons of bleach and 2 teaspoons of sugar to 2 litres of water.
Similar to other agricultural sectors the prices are dictated by supply and demand. Around Christmas, Valentines day and Mothers day the demand of flowers is much higher meaning we need to employ more people to work at the farm, heating and lighting costs for the greenhouses also increase in winter to ensure adequate production and quality of the flowers. For imported flowers express shipping also costs a lot more. All of these have an effect on the price of single flowers.
We will always do our very best to exceed your expectations for our floral arrangements and match the picture on our website. Occasionally, substitutions of certain flowers may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the freshness or availability of those flowers. Care is taken to maintain the style, and theme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal or better value. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may need to substitute with another color to ensure quality and freshness.
