I also just happened to come across rainbow coloured roses that were delivered a couple of hours earlier! Love them so had to grab a stem or two. I don't know the name of the red flowers i bought unfortunately but they are just gorgeous!! Service was so friendly and quick and she wrapped them up beautiful. Will definitely be back!

I like having a look in here because the range of blooms and how they fill the space always impresses me. While it may not be my favourite florist for making artistic and bold pieces, I really enjoy taking my time and stopping to have a look and sniff around - something that the florists happily let me do. Sometimes when you go into a florist you can feel pressured to buy something, but I've never felt that at Tribal Rose. Most of the times I have been there it's a hive of activity and the florists are busy working their magic, and running around helping out customers. The last time I visited Tribal Rose they had some beautiful orchids for sale in the front, and I remember having a chat with one of the florists about keeping them alive (something that I struggle to do). She gave me some really good advice about watering and feeding them, and even though it was busy I could tell she was genuinely happy to let me in on a few secrets. It is experiences like that one that make Tribal Rose such a success.

The delightful little shopfront, painted green with lovely rustic timber floors, never fails to offer a vast range of seasonal blooms for a fabulous price. Buckets of fresh, colourful flowers are gathered on the footpath out front, which are often small, but as cheap as $5 a bunch - perfect for a smaller, yet still lovely, gesture. Inside, the walls are lined with breath taking local and rare imported florals, allowing you to choose your own customised arrangement for that special occasion. If you're not feeling so creatively inspired, the lovely team at Tribal Rose is there to deliver sound advice and knowledge on all things 'flowers'. The experienced florists, headed by wedding specialist Camilla Pinkney, can create the most stunning, beautifully crafted floral bouquets for anyone's special day. A colleague of mine recently had her wedding flowers provided by Tribal Rose and was thrilled with the service.

Have you ever walked into a florist and thought... "Geez, where's my American Express?"…read more I never understood why so many CBD Florist's charge so much for flowers that cost them 1/10th of the sale price. Is it the labour involved of putting them in sequinned boxes? Anyways that enough rant. If you feel like a little tram out of the city you can find some fresh 'cheap' flowers here. The ladies who work here are really in-the-know about everything flowers orientated. I jog past here everyday and when the occasion arose for birthday flowers i stopped by and was surprised by the range and the prices. They have a lot of specials on the flowers, you can pick up two bunches of flowers starting from $10. They also deliver Australia-wide!!

Thankfully, Growers is just around the corner, easy to get to and is open from all hours of the morning (and 365 days a year too!) They have a gorgeous variety of flowers and plants available and the staff there are incredibly knowledgeable, so you'll be able to make your choice nice and easy! But the best thing about Growers are there packages and hampers, so if you've really pissed off the Misses you can sort it out quick smart (and for a reasonable price.) Packages include fruit and wine, flowers and teddy bears and even a gourmet food hamper, which can all be ordered online and delivered to your door. So boys! Stop apologising and just go to Growers, they can do the apologising for you.

This is the type of place where simply being inside is a pleasure…read more If I need flowers or anyone I know does, there is no other option than Vasette. Every section of the store is covered with blooms, and at the moment there are some exquisite seasonal flowers including delphiniums (white, purple and blue), bluebells, freesias and hyacinths. The result of so many flowers in the space is a beautiful scent that greets you any day of the year. Vasette also have Australian and tropical blooms; it's a relief to see a successful flower smith who isn't limited by the traditional English garden varieties. Scarlet waratahs, delicate orchids and enormous crab claws jut out amongst the buckets, and you need not be worried about the quality. All the flowers are fresh, and in all my years of buying blooms I have never been disappointed. Expect great service and great advice. The staff are qualified and creatively passionate about working with their organic medium. They can put together a beautiful bouquet, or help with planning major events. Just stopping by and taking the time to smell the roses, or freesias, or snap dragons, or anything in this beautiful space, is a reward in itself.

But now and then when the house is looking a bit sad I venture inside to pick up something pretty. Our front are the cheap and cheerful options and plants, but it's inside that the real magic (and the good smelling stuff) is. I love that the window display and the arrangements within the store changes regularly, with like-colours grouped together on each table. From massive arrangements, to posies and single stems of orchids, you can get just about everything here.

Loose Leaf has the trendy plants before they were trendy. On numerous visits to Loose Leaf, I have discovered fiddle figs, hanging Devil's Ivy, curious cactus, full grown yucca's and peace lily upon peace lily. It is a truly spectacular place to find yourself on a Saturday afternoon - coffee in tow. Loose Leaf aren't just a nursery - they are also an event space, plant designers and regularly host horticulture courses. Go. Buy. Enjoy.

From small cacti suitable for your desk, to hanging ferns and gigantic figs that would suit a massive house or garden, there's something green for everyone... even those who don't have a green thumb! The girls at Loose Leaf are the most gorgeous team and will help you select plants for different purposes. Have a room that gets little light? Need something that's hard to kill? No worries! There's also charming pots to sit your plant in, Japanese leather hanging holders, wire stands and other decorative items that help elevate your plant to something truly beautiful. Great for gift giving too! And, if you can't live without colourful flowers in your home (who can?) there's also a good selection available which Wona will happily assemble in to a lovely arrangement for you to take home. She is a talent and it's worth taking her advice on which flowers work well together and will last for as long as you need. If you love flowers you can also book in to one of their regular flower arranging classes that offer more than how to make simple vase arrangement, and instead focus on things like wreaths and floral crowns!

This place will not let you down. It's beautifully set up with fresh flowers, cards, little gifts, balloons and even jewellery. There are pre-made bouquets which I have purchased twice while on the go. One had lovely rustic looking flowers with a small apple in the bunch. They were much loved by the recipient, well wrapped in brown crepe paper and a few bits of burlap and ribbon. I've also went in and asked them to make me up a bouquet of blue coloured flowers for a new Mum of a baby boy. I named my price and a gorgeous arrangement with blue hydrangeas and tall yellow flowers was born. They're very competitive prices considering a bunch of flowers will sometimes cost you $15-$20 at Safeway or Coles. For similar prices you can get a much spendier looking bouquet that's wrapped nicely and includes the plant food. The employees are very friendly as well. There's usually good music playing and a good vibe. I was chatting to one employee, manager or owner I assume, and he was saying that they won first prize in the Melbourne flower show and they were a late entry. A+ NB, if you check in on yelp, you get a discount!

The flowers are really fresh and vibrant, and the staff are wanting to serve you like there is no tomorrow. This is a great thing. Apart from Chinese New Year stands; I decided to buy a bamboo plant for my home space at this establishment. The plant is in a beautiful glass holder that symbolises prosperity and good luck in the home, and the plant still looks fresh despite me not watering it as frequently as I should. If you are someone who likes your weekly, fortnightly or monthly flower fix, and/or if indoor plants is more of your thing - then look no further; you have just hit the jackpot when it comes to quality floristry. A place that is appreciated and deserving of its location in Melbourne. The price of $25 for a smallish bamboo plant that has stood the test of time. It is worth it, and adds immense value to anyone's living space. It is a place that gives you that extra lift if your mood isn't so great. A great pick me up.

Tucked into an arch at the rear of St Paul's cathedral, the store is about the size of a postage stamp. Very frequently however, everything is kicked out of the store and an entirely new display goes in. It's beyond exquisite. The staff are incredibly warm, helpful and talented, and most importantly can put together the most extraordinarily gorgeous bouquets on virtually any budget. If you need something super special (in my case, for my wedding) be sure to call in advance and go for a consultation with Nicholas personally. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, I guarantee you will come out with something even better than you could have possibly imagined.

Extremely disappointed by the conduct of Nicolas owner of Pollen flowers.

After establishing her look toghether with Nicolas went about organsing all the other many tasks for her special day.

He left my daughter high and dry with no flowers and only a few short weeks to find an available florist. With merely " i'm sorry" . Just dispicable behaviour and a very untrusoworthy human being. Think very carefully before deciding to book him as he appears to have very ittle concern abour leaving brides in the lerch. Maria B.
