Understanding the Types of Flowers available in Melbourne

Types of Flower: This column lists the name of each flower.

Available Colours: This column indicates the range of colours each flower is available in, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your colour scheme.

Seasonal Availability: This column shows the months when each flower is in season, helping you choose flowers that are fresh and readily available.

Price: This column provides a general price indication, ranging from $ (most affordable) to $$$$$ (most expensive), allowing you to plan according to your budget.

Tips for Using the Types of Flowers Guide

Plan Ahead: Knowing the seasonal availability of flowers can help you plan events and purchases in advance. For example, if you're getting married in September, consider flowers like Anemones or Blossoms that are in season during that month.

Budgeting: The price indicator helps you manage your floral budget. If you're looking for cost-effective options, consider flowers with a single dollar sign ($), such as Carnations or Jonquils. For a more luxurious arrangement, options like Gardenias or Oriental Lilies with higher price indicators are ideal.

Colour Coordination: Use the available colours to coordinate your floral arrangements with your event’s colour scheme. For instance, if you need purple flowers, consider Delphiniums, Hyacinths, or Lilacs, depending on their seasonal availability.

Cautions

Seasonal Variations: While this guide provides general availability, weather conditions and other factors can affect the actual availability of certain flowers. It's always best to consult with your florist closer to the event date.

Freshness: To ensure the freshest flowers, choose blooms that are in their peak season. Off-season flowers may not be as fresh and can be more expensive due to limited availability.

Supply Chain: Seasonal flowers are generally fresher and have a smaller carbon footprint compared to out-of-season flowers that need to be imported or grown in controlled environments.

By using this guide, you can make informed decisions that will enhance the beauty and impact of your floral arrangements while staying within your budget and ensuring the freshest possible blooms.
