Bangalore blooms: City florists

Nothing can lift up your day like a beautiful bunch of flowers. Be it adding a dash of colour to your abode or lighting up the life of someone special—a bouquet does it all. With the city having cottoned on to flower power in a big way, the retail flower business in the city has witnessed a boom. Every locality is now dotted with florists or flower stands selling all sorts of petalled wonders.

Ohana, at the Leela Galleria is by far the best florist in town. They stock and arrange strains of exotic flowers imported from across the world. Even though the prices for bouquets or arrangements at Ohana border on the exorbitant, their flowers are exotic and generally last longer. Ohana also home delivers floral arrangements of your choice in adorable glass vases, decked with ribbons.

Looking for something that is within your budget and also of good quality? Check out the profusion of florist stands at Devatha Plaza on Residency Road. Brandishing bucketfuls of long-stemmed roses, lilies, orchids and birds of paradise, these florists do as good a job if you provide specification of the flower arrangement you want.

If in Koramangala, head to the BDA Complex. The florists here are by far the best though are known to charge you more; so remember to haggle a bit on the price per stem. In Indiranagar, choice blossoms are tucked away in the tiny flower stands by the roadside. There is one on the Double Road, quite a few on CMH Road and one bang opposite the 100ft Restaurant on the 100ft Road.

So next time you need to make up for that little tiff, you know exactly how to.
