The story of All I Am began with a love for Alliums, Nerines, and Agapanthus. Fascinated by the beauty of these flowers, and mesmerized by their uniqueness, the growers were surprised to discover that these remarkable varieties were often unknown and difficult to find. 

During auctions, it was somewhat, apparent that these incredible flowers were usually considered second-to-best, and often remained kept away from the public's observation, hence missing the kind of admiration they deserved. Furthermore, they were always difficult to come by. Not many people paid them much attention.

But the time had come for someone to bring the beauty of these flowers into the limelight! And that was All I Am.

Flowers From All I Am

With the belief that Nerines, Agapanthus, Amarines, and Alliums are the must-have flowers in the coming days, All I Am, has put more focus on ensuring that its partner growers deliver the very best of these particular blooms.

The label combines the growers’ love for these flowers, with their keen sense of business acumen and deep knowledge of the international flower trade. So, here’s what you need to know about these flowers.

Nerine

Curly petals are the defining feature of Nerine flowers, which also have an amazing color range that includes shades of deep, dark red, pink, and white. The petals give off a faint sheen that is reminiscent of glitter powder. This gives any floral arrangement quite a magical touch. Nerines, also, fascinate with their romantic and feminine charm, akin to a fairy tale come to life.

In bouquets – such as autumn bouquets - nerines are an absolute must for their vivid hues. They create a pleasant combination of colors and textures that go well with berry branches and other late summer and fall flowers. In a glass vase, a single outstanding nerine blossom can easily take center stage. But then again, a grouping of these flowers in different hues and sizes can make for an eye-catching arrangement. 

There are numerous nerine variants. Nerine Varia, for instance, bedazzles with its brilliant pink color and jewel-like shimmering foliage. Nerine Favoriet is a perennial favorite because of its enormous, exquisite pink blossoms. Meanwhile, the deep red color and enduring blossoms of Nerine Elegance Amor enthrall. 

Others are Nerine Pink Wonder, Nerine Katjana, Nerine Berenice, Nerine Lipstick, and several others. These are just a handful of the many interesting and varied nerine varieties out there.

Amarine

Amarine is a crossing between Amaryllis and Nerine to create a really exquisite flower that blends the best qualities of the two. It is a flower derived from the crossing of Amaryllis Belladonna and Nerine Bowdenii, and it is a unique and elegant bloom with an equally unique blend of star and trumpet shapes. Its long, ribbon-like petals radiate elegance, making it suitable for both festive and romantic settings. 

All I Am growers offer varieties that all have shades of pink; from delicate and romantic pinks to deep fuchsia. For instance, Amarine Anastasia, with its vibrant pink hue, showcases the typical markings of its Nerine ancestor. For its part, Amarine Emannuelle, with its light pink color and trumpet-shaped leaves, adds enchantment to bouquets and decorations. Amarine Paris, which has shaded petals with magenta in the center and creamy blush pink on the sides, resembles the delicate wings of fairies.

Even so, true to their diva-like beauty, Amarines delivered by All I Am are known to bring a playful touch to floral creations, not just enhancing any arrangement but also shining when showcased alone. And with proper care, these blossoms can last up to two weeks, making them a desirable choice for floral arrangements.

Allium

Also known as ornamental onions, Alliums have become a popular choice for floral designers due to their majestic beauty and striking presence. With tall stems ranging between 60 and 100 cm, these flowers are often a sight to behold, with their most common color being regal purple. They come in various other shades, such as white, red, and yellow, adding a touch of grandeur to any arrangement.

Alliums have symbolic meanings beyond their visual appeal, representing unity, patience, humility, prosperity, and good fortune. They have been used for culinary, medicinal, and worship purposes throughout history, with references to biblical references and Shakespearean mentions. 

Incorporating alliums into bouquets can uplift them to a higher stature, radiating elegance and depth. They can be combined with shorter flowers to create conspicuous contrasts or used as the focal point in a large bouquet, allowing their beauty to shine. In these floral compositions, alliums add a touch of exceptionality and visual impact.

Also, to emphasize their length and grace, one can consider placing them in tall bottles or vases, with each stem standing on its own. Combining long, slender flowers with shorter blooms adds visual interest and texture to the overall design.

Agapanthus

Agapanthus, also known as the Lily of the Nile or the Blue African Lily, is a fascinating flower from South Africa, whose dramatic beauty and symbolism make it a standout choice for floral designs. The name Agapanthus comes from the Greek words ‘agape’ meaning love, and ‘anthos’ meaning flower. It represents love, fertility, purity, and beauty. In African culture, agapanthus is considered an aphrodisiac and has been used for various medicinal purposes.

This flower offers endless possibilities in floral arrangements, such as arranging stems in tall, flared vases, cutting stems short, or displaying individual blooms without much embellishment. It is perfect for artistic styling and Ikebana-inspired arrangements, where simplicity allows for showcasing its elegance and architecture.

Incorporating twisting blades of grass or bare branches can create a sense of movement in the arrangement, while playing with extremes in balance can result in visually striking compositions.

Some of the flower’s important varieties include Agapanthus Gletsjer, with its white flowers, and Agapanthus Mediterranee, with its purple blooms. These varieties offer unique colors that add a touch of elegance and charm to any floral design.
