One of my favourite flowering bulbs is the iris. They are best known in their deep blue colour but also grow in yellow and white. The white iris is a strong symbol of Florence as they grew in thick carpets inside the city wall. In another beautiful European city, the yellow iris is the symbol of Brussels. There was an island (until it was built over in the late 1800’s)in the middle of the Senne river in Brussels that was covered in yellow iris and the flower has retained an important place in the city’s identity.
So for Florence, Brussels and all beautiful cities, the seasonal bunch this week will be iris – bunches will be blue and local. Beautiful perfumed Oriental lilies are a classic choice for the $30 bunch and 10 long stems of local red roses are coming in for the $40 bunch. There are many beautiful choices this Friday and if you would like some flowers to brighten your weekend, email your choices to info@fridayflowers.com.au and they will be ready for delivery to your home.
