Funky florists called WTF - What The Flowers? sells 'Grinch trees' and tropical blooms in Blackpool
Take a look inside Blackpool’s funky new florists as they celebrate their first Christmas trading as ‘What The Flowers?’ by offering some unusual gifts - including a ‘Grinch tree’ and a stunning range of tropical blooms.
Video shows some of the fabulous flowers and gifts on offer as a quirky new Blackpool florist marks their first festive season in business.
The store, on Mowbray Drive, specialises in funky, tropical bouquets and has brought their bold personality into these eye-catching wintry displays too.
Instagrammable blooms
Friends Gemma Buntain and Natale McDonald have 40 years combined experience in floristry, but joined forces to create the new brand earlier in 2025 to attract a younger clientele with their fabulously Instagrammable bouquets.
‘What The Flowers?’
They called their shop ‘What The Flowers?’ - aiming for a name that would be attention-grabbing and memorable.
In the video above, Natale, who previously worked as a freelance florist, explains: “We specialise in tropical flowers and want to show younger people that flowers can be affordable and fun, and it’s not just something to buy for granny on her birthday.”
‘Grinch’ trees
The Christmas range includes 'Santa's Surprise', 'Gingerbread' and 'Candy Kisses' bouquets’.
Customers can also buy quirky decorated 'Who-Vine' miniature pine trees and plants with elves buried in the soil.
“The Grinch trees are my absolute favourite. They have a citrus scent, and once the festive season is over, just unwrap the string and they can be re-potted and enjoyed all year round.”
