Seasonal Blooms: The Best Flowers For Each Time Of Year

Welcome to the Black and Blanc Fleur guide to seasonal flowers! As a premier luxury flower boutique, we understand the importance of using the freshest blooms for our exquisite floral arrangements.
The UAE's warm climate means we can enjoy beautiful flowers almost year-round. However, certain varieties truly thrive during particular seasons. Read on for tips on the best blooms to decorate your home or gift to loved ones each month.

The Importance of Knowing Seasonal Flowers

Understanding bloom seasons allows you to make informed choices when designing with flowers. Knowing what is naturally available at a given time of year ensures your arrangements showcase the freshest, most beautiful stems sourced at their peak.

• Maximizing Flower Quality: Flowers harvested in season boast vivid color and abundant fragrance.
• Honoring Nature's Rhythms: Appreciating seasonal flowers allows you to honor the natural cycles of growth and dormancy governing all plants.
• Inspiring Creativity: Designing within nature's changing palette keeps floral artists inspired. The transient beauty of seasonal flowers urges innovation - finding new ways to unlock each bloom's potential before it is gone.
• Reducing Carbon Footprint: Sourcing local, seasonal flowers reduces the resources needed to house or import blooms from afar in opposite seasons.
• Minimizing Expenses: Flowers naturally bloom in cycles each year. When variety exceeds demand, prices fall accordingly.
