People from a world without flowers must think we would be mad with joy all the time to have such things around us....

Flowers from around the world

With Valentines Day quickly approaching, we've been busy busy busy ordering in flowers from all around the world. Literally.  Our roses and lilies come to us directly from South America, orchids are flown in from Thailand and Australia, and antheriums and other tropicals arrive from Hawaii.  Many of our flowers are grown in the lovely climates of southern CA. and we are fortunate to be able to source quite a lot of our flowers locally.

And if that weren't enough, we are lucky enough to have the second largest flower auction in the WORLD within driving distance up in Burnaby, British Columbia.   In addition to the many growers centered in Burnaby, they also receive floral stock from around the world on a daily basis and it is auctioned off in a manner similar to it's more famous cousin in Holland. 


Modern technology has enabled the floral industry to create a system that ensures that flowers are grown in optimum conditions, cut at the precise time to promote longevity, super hydrated and chilled before shipping and then shipped overnight to the import houses and from there to us, your local florist. 

What does this mean for you?  It means that we have access to the freshest, most fabulous flowers in the world.  Upon arrival in our shop, the flowers are cleaned and conditioned with the flower food they need to open beautifully and last longest.  And then, they are arranged in gorgeous bouquets and hand delivered to the recipient of your choice. 

That is the reason our bouquets have been known to last for two weeks or more.  And that is the quality  our clients have come to rely on. 


Don't settle for less, and don't settle for a bouquet that wilts after 3 days.  Call the Enchanted Florist, your local experts in all things floral.
