Flower Tips

As the cooler months settle over Porirua, it’s easy to forget just how powerful a pop of colour or a thoughtful gift can be. At our florist studio, we believe winter is the perfect time to show someone you care — whether it’s a surprise bouquet, a comforting gift box, or a little pick-me-up for yourself.

Most people think flowers are just for birthdays, anniversaries, or Valentine’s Day. But some of the most meaningful flower deliveries are the ones people don’t expect.

In Victorian times, people used floriography, the language of flowers, to express emotions they couldn’t say out loud. Sending someone a bouquet wasn’t just a pretty gesture — it was a coded message.

Fast-forward to today, and we still associate certain flowers with particular meanings. So whether you’re picking a bouquet for yourself or someone else, your choices might just reveal something deeper.

In the world of blooms and blossoms, beauty is more than just petal-deep. Behind every vibrant bouquet and garden bed lies an intricate relationship between flowers and insects - a partnership that has evolved over millions of years and continues to shape the natural world.

Flowers have long been a timeless way to express emotions, celebrate special moments, and brighten someone's day. Whether you're commemorating a milestone, offering sympathy, or simply showing appreciation, the right floral arrangement can make all the difference. In this guide, we'll help you choose the perfect flowers for every occasion.
