"Kia Ora Jo, Phil and the team, It's always a beautiful surprise to see the photos before they are delivered, I absolutely love the arrangement, I can see so much love and care has gone into this arrangement, you certainly could show these amateurs here in Perth a thing or two, just amazing you all are, and if I am being honest I did shed a tear or two when I saw the photo.

"We really liked the delivered flowers in the flax wrapping and appreciated the same day delivery efficiency and communication including the photo from you. Thanks."
"Just a little message to say thank you so much for the beautiful bunch of flowers you created for us during our loss. Our amazing family in Australia had ordered them through your company. Seeing and smelling the eucalyptus stems in the bunch, truly pulled on our heart. Our beloved father/father in law was born and bred in Adelaide, so this was the sweetest 'nod' to him. I didn't get a photo of the flowers once they were out of the box but they were absolutely outstanding! Thanks again for your creation, it was a perfect NZ/Aussie combination in our time if grief "

Chinese Valentine’s Day is also known as Qixi Festival or the Double Seventh Festival. It is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar and has a history stretching back over 2,000 years.
Qixi Festival is inspired by the traditional legend of Zhinü (the Weaver Girl) and Niulang (the Cowherd) — two star-crossed lovers separated by the Milky Way, allowed to reunite only once each year. The story symbolises loyalty, patience, and enduring love.
