Each major day has an official flower:

• Vinery Stud Thousand Guineas,Caufield Oct  'Blue Iris'
• BMW Caufield Cup Day, Caufield Oct  'Lily of the Valley'

• Emirates Melbourne Cup,Nov , 'Yellow Rose'
• Crown Oakes Day, Nov , 'Pink Rose'
• Emirates Stakes,Flemington, Nov ,  'Red Rose'

If you are heading off to the races in Melbourne and would like Stems to do your buttonhole please order prior as the specific flower can be difficult and limited to obtain before some races meets. So whatever day your going to or if your lucky enough to be going to a few, make sure you call and order your buttonholes/corasages through Stems. Fresh flowers are a perfect way to add the finishing touch to your Spring racing carnival celebrations.

Ballarat Cup 2010 is on a Sunday and we are told has 'no official flower'

In 2008 the guys from BMW ordered our Ballarat Carnations 'green' carnation buttonhole, a very classy touch and I'm sure any of you who saw them would agree. Tracey's the placement people had white rose buttonholes and these too looked classy and unified their group and gave the men a nice finishing touch to their well thought out attire. So if you are having a corporate gathering think about choosing a flower that helps distingiush your guests from the others and come in or phone us to organise your order. You can pick up or have the flowers delivered to where your bus is leaving from, whatever makes it easy for you.
