What 'in season' is claiming
The phrase means grown near you now, flown in from a hemisphere where it is now, or held in a cold store. Three very different things.
-
The cold chain
Cut flowers are a refrigerated product. Where the chain breaks and what it looks like when it has.
-
Vase life
Spent at every warm point in the chain, not at the end of it. Why a warm van costs more than a warm room.
-
Foliage does the work
Volume is cheaper and hardier than blooms, and reads better in photographs.
-
Pressed and kept
The only reliable way a stem outlasts the day.
