Located in the heart of the market, you'll find the prices to be considerably lower than bigger florists in the centre of town. Selling a range of flowers and plants (a number of which are home grown on a nearby allotment), you can pick up a host of bargains here. The lady working here was extraordinarily friendly; I went to buy a pot plant, only for here to recommend another one because it would be better provided by the weather.

One of the reasons I know I'm kooky is I don't go to Gunns to buy flowers…read more I know they sell some of the most beautiful flowers on the South coast - huge bunches of lilies, sunflowers, roses, birds of paradise, dahlias and so on - but the thing I can't resist is the clusters of fresh edibles. Earlier this summer, they sold pots of rosemary, mint and tomatoes. Now, they have clusters of the most divine looking red and green chillis. Even better, they look the perfect size pot for my wee patio garden. If you want to buy me some more as a surprise, Gunns offer home delivery for plants as well as bouquets!

The façade of the shop is incredible, painted dark green with vines and flowers twisting around the building and large yellow lettering announcing the shop's presence- you really can't miss them, the gorgeous and exotic looking flowers spill out on to the pavement and grab your attention as you wander by. Even if you're not planning to buy, it is well worth a look, as many of the plants and flowers on offer are simply breathtaking. The vivid pinks and oranges of some of the petals make me feel as if I've been transported to a Hawaiian rain forest! Gunns will arrange a bouquet to your specifications on the spot and will also take orders over the phone and guarantee same day delivery!

I like this Flower City as it is completely unpretentious…read more It's not like going into you florists in Lewes or Brighton, where the decoration, shop front and pots play as much a role in the shop as the flowers themselves. This shop is pretty sparse, though the flowers they have here are nicely presented and seemingly all the more special, because they stand out more stunningly against the plainness of the shop. The small bunch of Yellow Roses for £1.95 stood out to me, and I didn't mind the houseplants they had inside either. Well worth a visit for any occasion, and for things like weddings and funerals they also do special arrangements.

Housed outside St John's Church in Hove, it's an impressive looking stall with gorgeous bouquets and buckets of flowers beautifully displayed on the pavement. If you look closely you'll see solitary bunches of tulips, dahlias and gerberas but really, The Flower Stand is about bouquets with wow factor. If money was no option, I'd go there every Monday and buy their Bouquet of the Week for £35. This week's theme isTimeless Lillies and evergreen! As it is, I usually walk past admiring the dazzling array of colours, petals and leaves and breathing in their heady scent.

Of all of the various flower stands in Brighton, The Flower Stand beside St. John's Church in Hove…read moreis one of the more popular, for good reason: it is one of the cheapest and best quality flower shops in the area. With a great selection, cheap and well-made bouquets, and a beautiful array on flowers outside the front, The Flower Stand is wonderful to stroll by as well as shop in. A great addition to the area, and a great shop to buy the prettiest of flowers. The Flower Stand is the sister shop to a greater store in Shoreham, and thus is always well-stocked with popular and beautiful flowers. Amazingly, for work of this quality, it is surprisingly cheap, although the larger and more extravagant bouquets are quite costly. Even so, the value for money here is great: each bouquet is a mixture of flowers, different every week, so there's always something different to look at. As well as their bouquets and other assortments, The Flower Stand also offers more traditional flower set-ups, like organising arrangements for special occasions and the like: I understand their service is very good, although I haven't tried it myself. In the end, having a flower shop of this quality, just at the beginning of Hove, is a great addition to the local shopping scene, and is wonderful to walk by on a beautiful summer's day!

The shop was closed at the time but when I went back yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of different flowers and plants on offer. Run by a married couple, Rose is clearly a neighbourhood florist that caters to locals. In the time I was browsing, I noticed three or four other customers buying bunches of daffodils and other spring flowers. I was wondering if anyone ever bought the more exotic and unusual flowers inside when the phone rang and I heard orders coming through for bouquets! Having looked at the company's website I've noticed they offer flower arrangements for birthdays, weddings, civil partnerships, special occasions and funerals. They also stock and deliver plants, balloons, champagne, chocolate and for sugar-rush lovers, sweet hampers.

I discovered this florist about a year ago, noticing the beautiful display outside of the shop. I…read morewalked over, and to my surprise discovered that 'Rose' sell a very good selection of flowers, ranging from as little about £2, right up to the more elaborate arrangements costing far more "elaborate" prices. I like that they have so many different flower combinations, rather than just having very basic bunches for the cheaper flowers. The inside is unbelievable, wall to wall flowers and plants surrounding you from floor to ceiling. There is in unending choice suitable for every occasion. If you're left unsure then the gentlemen florist is a very good guide, always happy to offer advice.

They feel personal, don't ask me how! Just go see for yourself. My favourite little idea and one I can never resist buying, is a gorgeous little jam jar full of the prettiest little flowers for £4.95 roughly. Perfect for little appreciation gifts (I always get my ma one - and myself I can't lie!). I love the fact my boy is so taken with this shop too, he really believes pixies live here. And he likes the 'magic roses'. They also cater for all occasions weddings, funerals - all the usual! If anyone ever pops the question to me (no chance!)
