Four Season FlowersFour season flowers... each season of the year has flowers which grow naturally to flower at that specific time. We associate (either consciously, or subconsciously) different plants and flowers, scents, and colours with the different seasons. First a short list of what will be on this page... (please, if what you are looking for is missing... let me know! Just a short note on our 'Contact Us' form would be SO helpful.) Beginning at... Early Spring with light scents, and yellow being the predominant colour of association. Think Daffodils and Primroses. Later Spring... still the scents are light and delicate. Think carpets of blue under fresh light green foliage... Bluebells. Summer brings a mix of stronger colours and scents. Think old fashioned Roses in deep reds and strong pinks. I'll probably offend loads of readers, but I cannot stand the garish (I think) orange and regimented stems of the French Marigolds, nor the African ones for that matter. Our own Marigolds (talking from a paint mixing perspective) seem to have just a whisker of white in the mix... and so look so much nicer under our gentler light. Flowers which look good under the bright sun, of say, the Mediterranean, often do not look quite so good under our less intense light conditions. Autumn/Fall brings a glorious riot of colour to the leaves. You get the burnished colours of the fallen leaves and that glorious indefinable scent peculiar to autumn. Think also of purple and mauve shades of Michaelmas daisies and the special scent and colours of Chrysanthemums (Mums). Winter brings the Evergreens into play. Holly, Ivy, and Mistletoe. Greenery, red berries, white flowers of Christmas Rose, followed by Snowdrops all set off with the smell of frosty mornings. Almost everyone has their own personal list of 'must haves' and 'no-nos'! I love to have fresh Hyacinth bulbs in the house, with their gorgeous heady scent, during December and January. As for a no-no, I absolutely love Chrysanthemums and their (to me, Autumnal) scent... but as far as I am concerned, they belong to Autumn. Commercial flower growing has changed beyond recognition... flowers are flown around the world. They are grown in poly tunnels, brought on, daylight is lengthened or shortened according to need, or they are refrigerated to slow down their growth... all this so that we can have, more or less, any flower at any time of the year... anywhere!
The booksearch I mentioned is just brilliant. I cannot begin to praise it sufficiently! I just typed 'Four season flowers' into the box, about eight books came up. One might be of interest to anyone from the USA... it is by the American Horticultural Society... namely, 'Ahs Plants for Every Season'. When you use the facility and want to check a book out, click the 'Compare Prices' (in red)... then when the page comes up, go to the bottom and see if the 'Shipping To' and 'Currency' boxes are set for your country, alter them if not, and then click 'Update'. www.FetchBook.Info: New & Used Books Third... the Four season flowers Art Please, do take a few moments to view this website Four Season Flowers at... ichenwu.com It is all just SO beautiful. Why not join me in the queue! Fourth... internet florists with names similar to Four Season Flowers. I thought "Four Season Flowers" would be a popular florists name... it seems to sound reliable, proficient, and imaginative to me. As though the florists involved would use new and imaginative designs with flowers that were in season in their locality. [Have I been watching too many high flown design programmes? ...Don't answer that.] Anyway to cut a long story short, I was wrong. I only found two four season flowers proper florists sites in all the search results I trawled through! One is based in San Diego, Californic, and the other is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada... Fifth... My recommendation... because you can change the colours and flowers in a particular arrangement. Instructions are on the website. So your own ideas of four season flowers can be incorporated into the chosen design. A real bonus! My favourite four season flowers Suppliers... and the florist of choice of so many people now. Such personal service is extremely rare these days, maybe that is why customers are changing to them in droves.
Most flowers are delivered by local florists, as long as there is a properly qualified one in the area (see 5 below). Some items are for next day delivery by courier... these are mentioned beside the arrangement on the webpages.

Other facilities you will find on the home page are Local Maps, Yellow Pages, Weather, and a Photo Gallery.
