Flowerona is a flower-inspired blog written by Rona Wheeldon.
Rona is passionate about flowers and her aim for Flowerona is for it to be a ‘feel good’ place for people to escape to and be inspired by…
Based near London in England, Rona writes about all things flower related.
Topics include fresh flowers, florists, floristry courses, weddings, artists, designers, gardening, shows, books, photographers and fashion.
After fifteen years in the corporate world, her love of flowers was reawakened when she signed up for a floristry evening class in 2004.
She enjoyed it so much that she went part-time at her job in London, in order to study for a formal floristry qualification.
Having achieved a National Certificate in Floristry, she then left the corporate world entirely and worked initially for a florist in Surrey and then for one of the UK’s top florists, Paula Pryke.
Launched in 2010, Flowerona is updated seven days a week, with special blog post series on the following days:
- Wednesday : Wedding Wednesday – Blog posts dedicated to weddings
- Friday : Florist Friday – Blog posts which are florist-related
- Saturday : Flowerona Reflects – A round-up of Rona’s week
- Sunday : Flowerona Links – Lots of inspiring flowery links to blogs & websites
As of April 2013, the site averages over 46,000 page views and over 21,000 readers a month.
Rona writes features for Wedding Flowers & Accessories magazine. Online, she writes for the New Covent Garden Flower Market blog, the Laura Ashley blog and Sarah Raven’s blog.
