Shipments arrive Mondays and Wednesdays.  Orders are recommended.  

The earthquake and tsunami in Northern Japan have had crippling effects on the flower market there.  All Northern flower markets are closed and the airports are not accepting flower shipments.  They also have no ability to store flowers due to the focus on receiving and storing aid there now.  This has caused a surplus of flowers from growers in the South.   There is a lot of extra product available from the South, including gloriosa, sweet peas, and ranunculus.  We are able to get product out of Southern Japan and will be receiving a nice size shipment tomorrow.  We would like to you to please consider buying Japanese product at this time to help stabilize their market.  For any information on product and pricing please contact lauren@gpage.com.

  With spring around the corner we want to notify you of some pricing changes.  Due to recent current events including the increase in the price of oil and the weakening of the dollar, flower prices are going up.  We expect to see a 10% increase in prices on most material to cover the extra shipping fees and the devalued dollar.  Please contact your GPage salesperson to get up to date and accurate pricing on material especially when you are putting together quotes for upcoming jobs.
    We continue to receive phenomenal ranunculus from France, Italy, Japan, and even some domestic sources.  Poppies are in good production now, as are sweet peas, tulips and narcissus.  We are starting to see lots of interesting frittalarias, including the large persica variety.
    This winter was definitely a difficult one with the many snow storms causing a lot of shipping problems, but we look forward to a good and busy spring.
