Flowers the order of the day
FLOWERS are still at the top of the list as the ideal gift for St Valentine’s Day, with florists across the region gearing up for their busiest day of the year this Friday.
Uniquely Made workers Emma (left) and Theresa are preparing for the big day on Friday.
According to Mareeba’s Uniquely Made owner Odette Petersen, giving flowers to your loved one on 14 February is still very much the go and roses the number one choice of flower.
“The red and white ones are the traditional picks but younger people often like pink or yellow ones,” she said.
Lillies were are also popular, and Uniquely Made also used white daisies, baby’s breath and disbuds in their arrangements.
Odette says she sources a lot of her flowers locally for the hundreds of customers who want floral gifts on the day.
“We find that a lot of men tend to walk in on the day but we’d rather people made orders before the day so we can cope with the big demand,” she said.
