We're scrapping the Ball Jar this year for a different affordable container, thanks to Gillian who emailed with an idea, and who also made some beautiful Valentine's Day cards for us this year
And we're hoping to succeed in our determination NOT to put together long stem dozens. There are shops that love to do them. We do not. With all the beautiful flowers coming in, the terribly verticle (turgid)? standard pales in comparison. And I'm fairly certain after all these years in the Business that many women don't love them. Women love pretty flowers: romantic, pretty flowers that look like they were chosen just for them. Listening, anyone?

And, most of us don't relly like the dark red roses. Sadly,generat ions of women have gushed over roses to generations of men, and now we are stuck with them.
Your pastels are so much nicer! Keep on teaching...
Just say no. No long-stemmed roses. I think they have worked their way into popular culture so that the myth is constantly perpetuated. We like pretty. Cheerful. Wild. Unique.
What are those in the vase on the right, with the space between their petals? I like them.
OMG I just wrote the longest comment ever and service was unavailable for publishing.

xo jane
I've never liked long stems. There's something sad about them. Maybe funereal? Not sure. I think you're on the right course.
amen to the long stems
Oh you're so right - softer, more romantic flowers are so much nicer. I feel so sorry for those poor well-intentioned men who get sold the ubiquitous long-stemmed roses. Stick to your (romantic) guns!!
I agree with you!
I love those flowers you have there, more than any long-stemmed rose! And I bet I'm not alone.....
