Neill's Blog

Pompoms, Stars, Stellars and Collerettes... During Neill's sourcing visit to Holland, he discovers a new world of divine Dahlia varieties, not usually available as cut flowers, to bring back to his Belgravia boutique and concession at Harrods. In this blog post he shares the story behind these delightful flowers.

Neill Strain Floral Couture is renowned for its diverse range of rare and exceptional flowers and during the summer months particularly for Garden Roses.  With the grower's enthusiasm for Neill's London clientele, an entire range of exquisite Garden Roses has been named after London landmarks, some of which are available exclusively at Neill Strain Floral Couture .  Following a recent visit to the grower's glasshouse in Holland, Neill tells us the story of these London-inspired Roses.  

Harrods are currently hosting a Rarity Campaign, a celebration of the world's best products and experiences, 87 rare finds from jewellery, interiors and beauty to food and... Neill Strain's spectacular white Gloriosa flowers.  Following 20 years of dedication, patience and expertise, one Dutch grower has managed to produce 20 bulbs of white Gloriosa, one of the rarest flowers in the world.  Now available exclusively at the flower concession at Harrods, Neill explains the incredible story of this exquisite bloom.

During the recent RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Belgravia was in full bloom with designs inspired by Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, in light of an exhibition of her personal belongings opening this month at the V&A which is sponsored by Grosvenor.  Neill shares with us his spectacular Frida-inspired installation for which he was awarded Best Floral Display in Belgravia In Bloom.
