What first captures your eye at the Flower Room is their painstakingly curated window display. On our midwinter visit it was very autumnal-chic: bare bones branches, dried natives and a family of odd bunch pumpkins littering the floor.
Step inside the high-ceilinged King Street store and you’ll find a more tamed selection of categorised flowers. There are paper daisies and native foliage in one corner next to a wall of pastel roses, bulbus chrysanthemums and impressive kale flowers. Across the room you can browse an elegant display of colour coded orchids in front of shelves filled with succulents and bonsai plants.
A hefty handful of banksias and proteas will set you back $35, but there are also bunches of bright semi-double chrysanthemums and carnations for $15. After a bit of a statement posie? There are tightly packed fiery roses, golden daisies and sculptural budding blooms for $55.
