The Art of Floristry

Proudly made in Malaysia, Nook Flowers celebrates the art of bespoke

and luxurious floristry. We are a small business that strives to design arrangements that are personal to your sentiments. Our talented, passionate and knowledgeable floristas create floral art with local flowers as our first choice, but we love working with any and all flowers. Everything is hand crafted to order. We care deeply about the environment and are committed to conducting our business in harmony with nature. To us the emphasis is flora - full of colour, texture and vibrant in themselves; the packaging is secondary and should never detract from the flowers.

This is why most of our bouquets are wrapped in the most minimalist of ways, or why we choose foam-free arrangements wherever possible. We encourage customers to bring in their upcycled containers and we opt for natural packaging. Not the easiest of routes but we try hard to walk the talk on this. Cited by Her World Malaysia as one of the Top 10 floral services providers in Kuala Lumpur. We believe in magic - the floral kind.

June's Flower of the Month: Lily

Come June, Come Lily! 

Lily symbolism

The lily is full of symbolism, with its main connotations being:

• Femininity. In Greek and Roman times brides were given a crown of lilies, in the hope for a pure and fertile life.
• Love. In Victorian times people knew when they received a sweet smelling lily that: ‘this is my lover’.
• Purity. White lilies were often used at weddings as a sign of virginity and purity.
• Transience. The serene and pure appearance of the lily expresses emotion in times of loss and grieving.

Origin

The lily originates from various places. In the wild they can be found in Korea, Japan and parts of Siberia but also closer to the equator in India. In Europe the lily is native to the Caucasus, the Balkans, Greece, Poland, the Alps and the Pyrenees. They can also be found in the wild in most American states with the exception of the south west quarter.

Royal Floria Putrajaya 2015

Public Service Announcement: If you're headed out to Royal Floria Putrajaya, here are some points to note: It's outdoors and blazing hot (temps soared to 34C yesterday but felt waaaay hotter). Sensible clothing  footwear, umbrella, hats, sunscreen are must haves.

Set Waze point to: Floria Putrajaya Car Park

It seemed like parking was a free for all, although there are designated areas; just be mindful of which zone you're parked at.

The ticket booth is by the mainroad outside the primary entrance. Tickets are rm5 for mykad holders and rm10 for non-mykad holders. But once inside the grounds you'd still need to buy a separate ticket to enter the Spring & Winter Dome. It costs rm3 and the booth for this is located next to the Dome.

It seemed hard to get a guide map for the exhibit zones. If it helps, here's a photo of the site map, do save it to your phone.

For refreshments, there are food trucks, stalls and beverage vending machines in most zones. But carry some water anyway.

The plant display is the first zone you'll pass through and there are lots of good buys. Our advice is, make your purchase on your way OUT so that you don't have to lug these bags throughout the exhibit.

Inside the covered display areas, the domes are air conditioned and a nice respite from the heat. But there aren't any benches to sit. So you'll find people sitting on the edge of the larger artistic displays - most probably the ones you'll want to photograph. But if you politely tell them that you'd like to take a photo, folks do step aside with a sheepish smile :)

Be patient, especially if you're a photography enthusiast cause the exhibits are beautiful and worth the few seconds to wait for, as folks will be whipping out their mobile phones, and inadvertently stick it right infront of your face.

Take your time and enjoy the profusion and abundance of flowers and plants on display and appreciate the hard work that went into it. Remember no picking of the flowers :)
