Rare stems, when you have
already sent the usual
King protea, black callas, chocolate cosmos, Japanese shabo carnations. Three to ten stems land a week and they go on a first-come list. These are for people who notice the difference.
01 / Included
What the rare list gets you
A
True provenance
Every rare stem comes with the farm, the flight and the cut date on its spec card.
B
The waitlist
Join the closed list and get first crack at each landing. Most lots never reach the site.
C
Vessel pairing
Rare stems ship with a matched vessel. Black calla gets steel, protea gets concrete.
D
Handling notes
Some exotic stems are fussy. Each order carries specific care instructions for that species.
