Twelve days from the dahlias
I followed the care card to the letter - re-cut every two days, fresh water - and the Café au Lait dahlias lasted twelve days. The box is entirely paper and cardboard, which matters to me.

British Peonies
Sarah Bernhardt & Coral Charm · by the bunch
Lincolnshire peonies, cut in tight “marshmallow” bud so they open in your vase over three or four days into great scented pompoms. Sarah Bernhardt is the classic pale pink; Coral Charm opens coral and fades to apricot and cream as it goes.
British peonies have a short, glorious season - roughly mid-May to the end of June - and we would rather sell out than fly them in from the other side of the world. Join the waiting list and we will email the morning the first ones are cut.

Sent a Classic Hackney to my mum on her birthday at short notice. The rider texted a photo on delivery and the handwritten card was lovely. It looked like an armful from a garden, not a supermarket.
Rated 4.0 out of 5 Beautiful, travelled well by courier
Outside London so it came next day by courier - still perfectly fresh in its water pouch. One star off only because the Deluxe was a little smaller than I imagined; the stem counts on the size guide are accurate though.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 Our wedding, exactly as we pictured it
Hattie walked us round the dahlia field in August and built everything from what was in flower that week. No foam, nothing flown in, and they pressed our leftover stems into a frame for us.
