    @hannamoor1696, if you want to start an online floristry business may I suggest you choose an avatar showing some beautiful flowers you have arranged yourself. Presenting yourself to the world using a stock photo of tawdry, garish, photoshopped roses is akin to me oferring my survises as a copywritter like this.

    And here’s an admission: my most beautiful bouquet of flowers? I don’t think I have ever had one. Isn’t that sad?

    Billy No Mates. 
    You can of course offer. I may not understand too much about it at this stage. But I do have a desire to understand it.

    Do you do graphic design?
    What could be more beautiful than flowers?

    Graphic design, I’m afraid @hannamoor1696, is yet another of those talents where I have been tested and found wanting. I do, though, have a strong interest in design and appreciate the work of others who have applied their skills to create something pleasing.

    This is why I am suggesting to you that you produce a bouquet to advertise your services that is, perhaps, understated and elegant, or sumptuous and extravagant. But what it should not be, emphasising that this is my view only, is some garishly false concoction that no florist nor plant breeder could ever get close to reproducing nor, indeed, would likely ever want to.

    I like the way you express your thoughts. It's very civilised and respectful of you! Thank you. 
    So maybe you've done some web design or have a favourite site you're willing to share as an example? 
    Personally I know of such, I can show you what I like, perhaps your point of view will prove useful to me too.

    One of my favourite London hotels is the Henrietta. When we stay there I find myself strangely drawn to Petersham Nurseries just round the corner. A bouquet I once ordered from them was stunning.

    "I want to tell you that you have very unusual taste"
    What's unusual about liking scented flowers?

    I do agree, the scent beats the looks of the flower every time.  I have been swooning over my Daphne Odora Aureomarginata for the last six weeks or more.  Such a wonderful scent - I look forward to it for the ten months of the year when it's not flowering.

    Florist roses never seem to have any scent, so I use my own... also Camellias when I had them.. these are my favourite flowers..   I have no floristry experience so I resort to simple arrangements..







    Cool! 
    It's all about simplicity. What a similar thing https://blossmcart.com/ brought me. It was enchanting and simple. Unfortunately I can't show you a picture, but it looked about the same as you show. 

    Would you like to work together with me to start a business together?
