CURREYS FLOWERS
Our Perfectly Pastel arrangement is a soft, garden gathered delight created with three or more varieties of the best and freshest seasonal blooms carefully hand selected from the Brisbane flower markets each morning, and artfully arranged with fresh green foliage in our own Lillipollen style.
Depending on the season, this arrangement will usually feature some beautiful locally grown spray roses from Queensland flower farm Curreys Flowers. Located in Karalee, this second-generation family-owned flower grower has more than 60,000 rose plants producing outstanding quality flowers which are generally picked and sold within 24 hours. The freshness of the flowers is what sets their product apart from an increasing abundance of cheaper imported blooms, which are often picked and packed for transportation up to 7 days before they reach the customer.
Sales manager Sonia Bitmead took the family farm over from her parents several years ago, and has watched as the influx of cheap imported flowers has seen her beloved industry suffer. Now she is calling on members of the public to make an effort to buy local Australian produced blooms. “The best way to ensure you’re buying locally grown flowers is simple: ask your florist directly. Until the Flower Industry Australia succeeds in enforcing "Australian Made" labels, it’s up to us to research and support local businesses” she says.
Currey Flowers is a real family affair, with Sonia, her husband and brother operating the farm while her parents stay on to lend a hand.
Their beautiful roses have an exceptional vase life of between 10 to 14 days. Available in some truly stunning colours, our personal favouites are the delicately scented “Giselle” and “Molly Jean”…
