A receipt /
for every stem.
Every stem we cut ships with a provenance card — the consignor's stand, the cutter's signature, the cut hour, the cultivar register entry, and the cold-window log. To request the card for a stem already in your hand, quote the consignment code printed on the wax seal.

II / What you'll find on every card
A short, honest page.
I
Consignment & cut date
The FLR-prefixed consignment code printed on the wax seal, plus the cut hour and the stand-side photograph the cutter took.
II
Binomial & cultivar register
Latin binomial, named cultivar or selection, and the registry entry it belongs to — RHS, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, or the relevant breeder's book.
III
Conditioning log
Sear time, drink temperature, hours held at four degrees. We do not condition longer than required; nothing is held in storage.
IV
Cold-window & courier
Logged temperature from cooler to door. Single-consignment hand courier when the cultivar warrants it — and many do.
V
Allocation note
For named cultivars with a seasonal cap, the card lists the present allocation — how many stems may be cut this season, total.
III / Atelier process
How a stem gets to you.
We perform every step ourselves — visit, cut, condition, log, and
courier. No third-party labelling, no transfer warehouses, no
stems brokered through a market.

V / Failed-bloom policy
If the stem fails, we replace it.
If a stem arrives broken, drops within twenty-four hours of receipt,
or does not match its provenance card, photograph it and reply to
your dispatch note within seventy-two hours. We will cut and re-courier
another from the standing stand — at the atelier's expense, without
discussion.
