♥ Valentines Day 2012 ♥


Can you hear it? A tinkling harp? The twang-ang of Cupid's bow? Well I sure as hell can and that tells me only one thing...
Valentine's Day is nearly here!

We get a bit bonkers here at Gingerlily HQ on Valentine's Day, so our advice to you would be to order early to avoid disappointment!
Many a lovestruck fool has failed to heed our warning and has returned home empty handed to the fiery wrath of a beloved scorned.
You have been warned!

Feast your eyes on our 2011 Valentine's Selection. We're taking orders now, so give us a ring today on
0207 424 5118.

Before you take a look, why not stick a bit of the Love Walrus on to get you in the mood..

The Scarlett & Rhett



The classic Valentine's hand tied bouquet of a dozen top quality, scented, deep red Grand Prix roses.
These are complemented with seasonal foliage, wax-flower, and finished with a great big silky bow.
This bouquet is for the traditionalists amongst us, those who aren't afraid to cry 'Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!' for all the world to hear.

To include:
12 grade-A 'Grand Prix' roses, 3 sprigs of waxflower, populus and salal.

£75.00


And for those who are more likely to whisper 'Kiss me, Scarlett, kiss me', a slightly more modest half-a-dozen Grand Prix roses. Still a classic, and still guaranteed to spark a swoon.

To include:
6 grade-A 'Grand Prix' roses, 3 sprigs of waxflower, populus and salal.

£45.00



The Fred & Ginger




Fred Astaire once said 'I just put my feet in the air and move them around'.
Well, that as may be, but what made the difference between Fred Astaire and a beetle on its back was inimitable style.
It's that same old fashioned style and individuality that sets this bouquet apart from the classic dozen red roses.
Here we've added a twist... a dozen roses, but using a sumptuous combination of 'Grand Prix', dusky pink 'Sweet Avalanche', scented 'Heaven' and spray 'Red Sensation' roses, again complemented with seasonal foliage and waxflower.
This is the bouquet a florist would choose *hint hint*.

To Include:
3 grade-A 'Grand Prix' roses, 3 'Sweet Avalanche' roses, 3 'Heaven' roses, 3 'Red Sensation' roses, 3 sprigs waxflower, Populus, Eucalyptus and salal.
£60.00


Again, a half-a-dozen roses, with a twist.
A gorgeous combination of pink and red roses, but more compact, leaving one hand free to sweep your loved one onto the dance-floor!


To Include:
2 grade-A 'Grand Prix' roses, 2 'Sweet Avalanche' roses, 1 'Heaven' rose, 1 'Red Sensation' rose, 3 sprigs waxflower, Populus, Eucalyptus and salal.
£35.00


The Johnny & Baby



"Hi, everybody, this is your Cousin Brucie. Whoa! Our summer romances are in full bloom, and everybody, but everybody's in love"...
Therein begins a film which encapsulates that heart-galloping, palm-sweating, throat-lumping feeling of innocent first love, Dirty Dancing. Us girls LOVE that film, not sure if you noticed?!

Johnny and Baby did it their own way, and you can bend tradition too with a fresh, pure white hand-tied bouquet of big white Avalanche roses, with complimentary seasonal flowers and foliage.
Not your traditional Valentine's bouquet, but bursting with romance all the same.

12 Roses: £40.00
6 Roses: £25.00


The Clarence & Alabama


"Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record....
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool".





Clarence & Alabama had a dark and stormy romance, passionate and peppered with challenges. Their experience took them beyond roses; I think Clarence would have chosen something a little more edgy for his dear wife Alabama.

So this one's for you, Clarence, a hand-tied bouquet of deep plum coloured 'Ronaldo' tulips, dark velvetty 'Red Sensation' spray roses and the little bullet-like berries of vibernum.

Now that's True Romance.

To include:
Deep plum 'Ronaldo' tulips, 3 'Red Sensation' roses, 3 'Vibernum berries', 5 'Black tie' leaves, and seasonal foliage.
❤ As above with 10 tulips (as shown): £30.00
❤ As above with 20 tulips: £40.00




The Clarence & Sweet Alabama



The Clarence & Alabama, but sweetened up with the addition of 'Sweet Avalanche' roses. They went so beautifully, we couldn't resist...

To include:
10 Deep plum 'Ronaldo' tulips, 3 'Red Sensation' roses, 3 'Vibernum berries', 5 'Black tie' leaves, and seasonal foliage.

❤ As above with 3 Roses: £40.00
❤ As above with 6 Roses: £50.00
❤ As above with 12 Roses & 20 tulips: £75.00





The Tom & Barbara



If we were to don our dungarees and head out into Tom and Barbara's garden now, i'm pretty sure it would be bursting with the promise of spring, with bulbs pushing through the undergrowth in every bed (0r at least those spots that Geraldine the goat can't reach).

So in homage to Tom and Barbara and their wonderful ways, here's a bouquet that encapsulates the romance of spring. Gorgeous red 'Il De France' Tulips, and fantastic deep red ranunculus.
Simple, affordable, gorgeous.


10 tulips & 10 ranunculus with foliage: £25.00

❤ 20 tulips & 10 ranunculus with foliage (as shown): £35.00
