Below are facts about our two types of flowers and how they are made:

One type is the “Lann’s leaf” or BL series.

Lann’s leaf is a type of palm tree leaf.  The leaves grows about 7 feet long, and about 4 inches wide.  The leaves are colored then cut with a hand press to make the different flower pedal shapes. The palm leaves grow in abundance in Thailand and are a great sustainable product.

The other type of flower is the “Sano” (sa-nō) or SN series.

The Sano plants also grow in abundance in Thailand.  The plants grow about 6-7 feet tall, and about 2 inches in diameter.  It has a white fleshy inside, with a brown exterior.  The Sano plant is cut into sections then carefully cut into long flat sheets.  The Sano sheets are moistened then shaped, cut, and/or tied into exquisite and intricate designs.

Both Flowers can be re-shaped or re-aligned by moistening them with water.  They are a natural plant however, and may have tendencies to resist dramatic reshaping. We feel that the natural imperfections of the plants make our products special and unique.

The flowers are not made in a factory.  They are hand-made by a small family business that enlists the help of friends, relatives, and neighbors and then brought back to the family for packaging and shipping.  The production of these flowers gives many people the opportunity to work and support themselves in a flexible home environment.

Also, remember that most of our flower stems are made of wood.  Be cautious when you try to bend or break them to make arrangements.
