Melbourne florist Bush is a reimagining and celebration of Australian native botanicals. Walk into Bush, and you will be transported into a native wonderland of expressive blooms and foliage that are the heart of Australia. It was a pleasure chatting with Michael, the owner of Melbourne florist Bush, and meeting Carlie, one of their star florists! Read on as Michael shares his long love for native flowers, from growing natives on his Sandy Hill Banksia Farm to supporting local flower farms and many exciting adventures to come, including a book! With all this joy, we are celebrating our mutual love of flowers with an Instagram giveaway! Head over to our Instagram and enter tonight! Looking to visit Bush? You can find their beautiful space at 917 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North, in Victoria. How did Bush begin, what can people expect, and who's behind it? Bush was officially opened in November 2019 by Michael Pavlou and his team. Michael had a florist in the South Melbourne Market, which became known for its vast range of native flowers. Unofficially Bush started years earlier, the idea being born in the old Footscray Flower Market when Michael realised that the majority of Australian Native Flowers were conspicuously absent from the market floor. What was available tended to be surplus production from supermarket posies.The idea, first and foremost, was to get people to fall in love with them again and to look at them in a different way. We wanted to work with growers to produce more variety which better represented the incredible diversity of our native flora. Shedding the idea that people buy natives because they are long lasting and embracing the idea that natives can be soft and delicate or bright and vibrant. Bush embraces sustainability and aspires to be the most responsible way to enjoy beautiful flowers. Can you tell us more about your Banksia farm and the growers you support? Sandy Hill Banksia Farm is our property located in Northern Victoria, close to the Murray River. It is a 7 acre undulating sand block that has an extensive array of East and West Coast Banksias. There is always a variety of Banksia in bloom, no matter what time of year. We have just planted a whole heap of Eucalyptus macrocarpa, Red Wattles and Sturts Desert Peas, all our favourite things that we can't get enough of. Marilyn Sprague, one of our favourite small scale suppliers, has a 10-acre native garden in Mandurang which produces very small quantities of the most brilliant flowers.We have many incredible suppliers from all around Australia. The main flower growing regions are areas with sandy soil, such as the Grampians, parts of South Australia, most of West Australia and East Gippsland around Sale. We also source flowers from New South Wales and Southern Queensland, such as Festival Bush and Kangaroo Paws, which tend to flower at different times of the year up there. Can you share tips on styling wildflowers at home? When arranging at home, I generally have an approach where I identify what the key attribute of the flower I am working with and focus on accentuating it. Most of the time, it's not even the flower itself but the foliage. Also, most stems have a curvature, so trying to work with the natural lines of things instead of forcing them to do something they don't want to do. Lastly, simplicity, sometimes you can't get better than a beautiful vase of one variety of flower like wattle or flowering gum. What are your favourite place to visit to see wildflowers bloom? The Australian Native Botanical Gardens in Cranbourne is one of the most underrated places in Victoria and is worth a visit.Marilyn's garden is one of the most inspiring places for native flower lovers. She puts on an open day once a year, but it fills up very fast. Lastly, West Australia, if you can get there, is a dream. What's in store for Bush this year? There are so many exciting things happening in 2023, but it is hard to go past the release of our book Bush Flowers through Thames and Hudson, which is due out 28th of February 2023. It was a project that we started during covid and is a sort of love song to Australian Native flowers. The book contains styling and design tips, flower care information and an extensive native plant index. We can't wait to share it with everyone.Follow Bush at @bush.flowers

Native of Dalmatia in Croatia, Iris Pallida 'Argentea Variegata' is a semi-evergreen rhizomatous Bearded Iris noted for its striking foliage and showy, scented purple flowers. The unique variegated foliage consists of sword-like leaves, elegantly striped with silvery-white and gray-green. Long-lasting, it extends its dramatic interest through fall and even winter, if mild enough. Sweetly fragrant, light blue-purple flowers with decorative yellow beards, about 3-5 in. wide (7-12 cm) appear in late spring to early summer atop scapes rising to 34 in. tall (85 cm).
Artemisia is one of the best plants for creating background interest in the landscape, with silvery leaves and soft texture that is captivating on its own or in combination with other plants. This tough plant needs little care once established, and is tolerant of heat, drought and poor soils.

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Tiny Wine'
Calathea is a large genus of leafy tropical plants found growing in the damp, swampy forest floors of the Americas. They’re characterised by their beautiful foliage, often looking as though someone has painted their leaves – and our plant of the month, Calathea Ornata (pin stripe calathea), certainly has that look about it! It’s soft pink stripes against the dark green leaves and a deep purple underside make them a hugely popular choice for us to keep in our homes. Calathea as a whole are fast growing and very easy to look after – because they’re used to periodic flooding, they’re also ideal for the erratic waterers out there! In colder months they like to be left to dry out a little between waterings, but only allow the top layers of compots to dry out. In warmer months, you can keep the top surface of the soil damp the whole season. They prefer a humid environment so can be misted regularly. Grouping similar plants together also helps to create a microclimate that provides them with some natural humidity - a lack of humidity will cause browning at the edges of the leaves. As mentioned above, Calathea Ornata have a deep purple underside to their foliage which allows them to absorb light in lower light levels, meaning they are best grown in shade or indirect light. Placing your Calathea in direct light will scorch the leaves and they won’t be happy for very long! Because of their natural shade dwelling and humidity loving habits, they’re the ideal bathroom plant. They prefer a warmer climate too (preferably above 15 degrees Celsius) so are best positioned away from any cold draughts. Repotting yearly will ensure your plants vigorous growth and health, but if you’re neglectful of this they will still survive another year in the same pot (unless the roots can be seen emerging from the bottom/top). Leaves on a Calathea can be seen to move around regularly, looking as though they are waving to you. They move around to adjust to the light, and often draw in during the night hours. Keep an eye out for the spreading movement when they first see daylight! Common problems with Calathea Ornata are browning tips of the leaves, and significant leaf curling. The leaf browning is nearly always due to either a draught, direct sunlight, or lack of humidity, whilst the leaf curling means it’s in desperate need for a water, so make sure to be aware of these signs! To Propagate: Calathea are propagated by division. In spring and summer months, you can separate clumps of foliage and roots and re pot them into separate pots of multipurpose compost. Who wouldn’t want to double up on this beautiful specimen!
