Do flowers have personalities? We think so & that's why we've given a family of five dahlias individual names. So

Dashingly attractive with a definite touch of panache, this cymbidium stem is topped with racemes of delightful larger flowers. It's a lovely way to soften slightly formal arrangements, & a stylishly simple way to add extra colour & texture without stealing the limelight from the main focus of interest. ...

Cool, fresh & clean as a Nordic forest, our green birch stem exemplifies the minimalist adage that less is more. Elegant in a slim, single stem vase or used to add texture & form to larger arrangements, it shows how understatements
- even when softly spoken
- can have dramatic effects.

Early-flowering hellebores are ideal if you want your displays to have a natural, in keeping with the season look. & although hellebores growing in a nest may be unusual, these h&-made flowers are so realistic, no one is going to imagine they aren't 100% organic. Unless of course they touch them. You see, many natural hellebores have sap that can cause quite severe skin irritation. Bloom hellebores definitely haven't. Lovely to look at, lovely to touch, lovely to own
- our hellebores are almost as nature intended
- just a little bit more user-friendly.

It's lovely, isn't it
- our ikebana arrangement. But there's more to this exquisite form of flower arranging than immediately

Cool & smoky-blue as the far distant hills, our lavender blue hydrangea bush captures the very essence of springtime. Put it in a large pot or planter & display it on a window sill, in a porch, conservatory or a sunny corner of the living room. Wherever you choose, the effect will be stunning. ...

Tall, impressive & just that little bit out of the ordinary, ligularias like this one originated in central & eastern Asia. Often found growing beside mountain streams, they're becoming popular in the UK as waterside plants for fashionable gardens. Our version is marvellous for creating vertical interest where floor space is limited
- on a landing, in an alcove or a stairwell.

Inspired by Puccini's most famous work, our Madame Butterfly orchid is a 'must-have' for all romantics. The opera itself is a story of ill-starred lovers
- an American sailor & a geisha. Written in 1900, it highlights the insurmountable cultural & social difference that divided East & West. & like the original Madame Butterfly our orchid has a sense of excitement, drama & passion. But the moment you unpack it you'll know that unlike the opera, this is a story with a happy ending.

Madonna lilies (Lililium candidium if we're being formal) have been cultivated around the Eastern Mediterranean for two, maybe three thousand years. Because they were traditionally associated with purity & virtue, Renaissance artists often included them in paintings of the Virgin Mary
- hence the name. In addition, an oil extracted from Madonna lilies was widely used in the distillation of perfume. It's quite possible that the Mona Lisa dabbed a drop or two behind her ears before sitting for Leonardo Da Vinci. Be that as it may, what you can be sure of is the effect this exquisitely elegant arrangement will have on its surroundings. As the focal point to a room, a tablecentre or in a window (remember Bloom flowers won't wilt in strong sunlight) it's the epitome of grace, composure & classic style. Presented with sorbus leaves & green berries in a handsome planter.
