Flower displays are available in vases or Oasis for reception areas and for events.   Our wholesalers supply flowers from all around the world.   The distances flowers travel are enormous. Examples are: Carnations and roses from Venezuela ( 5000m ) and Chile ( 7500m), protea, roses and exotics from South Africa ( 6000m ) and orchids from Thailand ( 6000m ).   Flowers are harvested in the cooler morning hours in order to give them a longer vase life.   They are then cooled to less than 60F within the hour and stored at temperatures between freezing and 40F.   Flower markets are often in the same location as fruit and vegetable markets.   It is interesting to note that ethylene gas is produced by stored fruit and veg and this is detrimental to cut flowers, particularly carnations and delphiniums and so care is taken to store the fruit and flowers away from each other.
