A florist has opened — offering flowers made from biodegradable balloons.
Each bloom is made using balloon twisting or sculpting, where long, thin modelling inflatables are folded and locked into shapes.
Making a single flower takes time and skill because the materials don’t behave so well when twisted tight according to the company behind it called Ballooms.
The adult-orientated colour palette goes fr dusty orange, pale blue, cream, and bright yellow-green rather than balloons seen at children’s parties for example.
The flower balloons are made from natural latex from a rubber tree.
Farmers make small cuts in the tree’s bark and the text drips out as a white, milky liquid drips.
The latex is collected, treated, and shaped into the thin, stretchy material to produce the flower balloons.
The material is 100 percent biodegradable, so it breaks down naturally over time.
There’s no plastic involved in the making and twisting of its garden flowers.
The store has opened in Toronto, Canada.

Rare camellias at Wentworth Woodhouse, English stately home, bloom again after £5m revamp.
Newly restored plant house at Wentworth Woodhouse, home to some of world's oldest camellias, formally opens as a global teahouse.
The camellias were imported for Britain's wealthy families in the 18th century on merchant ships belonging to the East India Company.
Some of the first camellias to arrive from China came to Wentworth Woodhouse, with each plant said to cost the house's aristocratic owner, the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, the equivalent of a housemaid's annual wage.
The main house at Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire where the Camellia House has been restored. The building, which houses some of the oldest camellias in the western world, dating back to 1792, has been rescued from dereliction and has been converted to a tea room.

'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.
The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.
The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
Lobster Pots in the seaside port town of Hartlepool in County Durham. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.

'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.
The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.
The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
Lobster Pots in the seaside port town of Hartlepool in County Durham. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.

Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
A woman takes a nap in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire in Northern England. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.

'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.
The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.
The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
