Love in Bloom (2022) Movie Script
1
Amelia, you've done it again.
I'm sure you would have created
something just as beautiful.
The wedding is in 10 hours
and the bride is impossible
to please.
I didn't like my chances.
Besides, you're the golden girl.
Just ask 'Coast to Country'
magazine.
Oh, these reviews aren't about
me, they're about the company.
Hey, everyone knows you're the
heart and soul of this place.
Well, if I had my own store,
I would have foxgloves
in the window and-
And a little brass bell
on the door
and a 'bunch of the day'
on special
so everyone can afford
a little luxury.
Well, that's what my mum's store
did.
Don't you have a special dinner
to get to?
I do, it's my five-year
anniversary.
I bet Peter's gonna propose
tonight.
- You think?
- I just know it.
August Ivy doesn't know what
he's talking about.
You haven't lost your touch.
If anything you have more...
touch.
Don't let it get to you.
Besides, soon you'll be
in Australia
with nothing to worry about
but planning my wedding flowers.
I can't wait for your wedding,
Bon.
I'm so excited to see
this country town
that you've fallen so in love
with.
I'm surprised Peter can make it.
He always seems so busy.
He's just always working.
And you must be so busy.
I thought I'd have a lot more
responsibility
as your maid of honour.
Jake and I are actually on
a wellness retreat.
Getting some respite
before all the wedding madness.
So close to the wedding?
Wait, is...
is everything organised?
Ah... sort of.
- Bonnie...
- There's not that much to do.
You know, just the rings
and the cake,
and I got the table settings
and a couple of dress fittings.
- Bonnie!
- Don't worry about us.
We're manifesting.
Envision the perfect wedding,
and that's what you'll get.
Yeah, need to manifest
a positive review.
Promise you won't read it again
tonight.
Promise me, Amelia.
I promise.
City Flowers star florist
Amelia Hart
has impressive technical skill
but is let down by another
wedding playing it safe
with her trademark
white flowers.
Perhaps Amelia
is a one-trick pony.
He called me a horse, Peter.
A horse.
Well, these reviews
aren't about you,
they're about the whole company.
It says my name in italics.
I've been negatively italicised.
There is a waiting list
a mile long full of people
who want their wedding flowers
designed by Amelia Hart.
Who cares if you're using
a tried and tested formula.
It just shows
that your business savvy.
You'll be much happier
once you get
that business district contract.
I know.
Now can we leave August Ivy
for the evening
and celebrate our anniversary?
You're right. I'm so sorry.
This whole thing has made me
such a crazy person
and I haven't even started
thinking about Bonnie's wedding,
and we're leaving soon.
Um...
I need to talk to you about
something.
Oh?
We're planners, you and me...
and there's one milestone
I've been planning
for a very long time.
Really?
I haven't caught you
totally by surprise I hope?
I mean, I did wonder if tonight
was the night.
Amelia, you know me so well.
I do.
I'm so relieved.
This surgery is going to be
fascinating.
It's the first of its kind.
I can't say no
if I want to become chief
of medicine within five years.
I'm so glad you understand.
As soon as they asked,
I knew there was no way I could
pass up an opportunity like this
for a wedding in...
where did you say it was?
Australia?
Primrose River.
Maybe I should leave early?
You know, to take like
an early vacation.
That's a great idea.
You should go early
and spend quality time
with your little sister
before the wedding.
Text Dr Simmons.
Patient has perihepatic
free fluid...
Dr Simmons.
When the seeds of love are sown,
it's you that blossoms.
So, Grayson,
what's the prognosis
on your biggest patient?
- Infection's healing well.
- Oh good.
Oh, look at those eyes.
He has the heart of a champion.
So what do we owe
this morning's visit?
Can't a good neighbour
just pop in to say, hello?
OK, a little birdie told me
that the city zoo
has offered you
another veterinary position?
Is there anything
you don't know?
Just whether we're going to lose
you to the big smoke or not.
I don't think so.
Could be a good move for you.
You might even meet someone
special.
You know I don't mix well
with city people.
Oh, Grayson!
City people are just country
people who got lost.
Hi, how was the flight?
The flight was fine,
but my bags are gone
and I brought you a special box
that belonged to Mum.
That's gone, too.
They've disappeared between
Tulip Mountain
and Primrose River apparently.
They'll turn up. They always do.
Now I need to tell you
something...
Promise not to be disappointed.
- Promise...
- Bonnie?
This line is terrible
I can barely hear you.
Amelia?
Bonnie, is that spa music?
Are you still at the retreat?
You were due back days ago?
Oh, there's just been a tiny
little storm.
More of a strong breeze, really.
Bonnie...
Flights are grounded
and we're kinda stuck.
Bonnie.
We'll be back in no time, OK?
But I do need you to pick up
the wedding bands from town
Primrose River is tiny.
Everything is just a walk away.
And, you know, at least
you don't have to carry around
any heavy luggage.
Please?
The jeweller is lovely but she's
known to get a little confused.
I'm worried something might
happen to them
and I would just feel so much
better if they were with you.
Text me the name of the store.
Thank you.
Hello?
I am in Australia.
This... is... awesome.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I am here to pick up
some wedding bands.
- Oh congratulations!
- Oh, no, no, I'm not the bride.
I'm just to help
the ring bearer.
I'll just grab the order book.
- Great.
- Name?
Bonnie and Jake.
Oh, a lovely couple.
But, I'm sorry, those rings
have just been collected.
That's not possible.
Does it say who picked them up?
I just served him.
There he is.
- I know what's happening.
- What?
He stole them.
He's a scam artist.
This happens all the time
in Chicago.
- No?
- Yes.
I thought that was the vet.
Excuse me?
- Excuse me, sir.
- Hi.
- Excuse me.
- Are you alright?
- I don't mean to bother you.
- Oh, do you need directions?
No. No. I don't mean
to make this awkward...
Well, that's a relief.
Ah... No, no. I...
I'm sorry, is this a stick-up?
No, I would never.
We sometimes do things that
we're not proud of.
Like this one time
I was supposed to water
my mother's orchid
when she went out of town,
but I really wanted to go to
Kimberly Watson's
sleepover pool party,
and I thought, you know,
I'd give the orchid
two days worth of water.
What's the harm?
Turns out orchids don't really
like that much water.
And by the time my mother
got home,
the thing died a tragic death.
And you know what?
Kimberly Watson's pool party,
it wasn't even that good.
She didn't even have a pool.
All she had was a hose.
So, my point to this really
long-winded story
is that I understand
your position
is what I'm trying to say.
And what position is that
exactly?
About the scam you got going.
The con.
What are you talking about?
Taking the rings
that don't belong to you.
So, I'm just gonna
look the other way
as you gently return them
in my hand.
The wedding bands I picked up
from the Cornflower?
Yes.
My sister's wedding bands.
Oh, I see.
And you're here to make sure
they stay safe
between now and the big day.
- Bingo.
- Well, I can't argue with that.
Though I thought that was
the job of the best man?
And I don't want him
to look bad.
We wouldn't want that.
Well, you know what?
You've convinced me.
I'll hand 'em over.
Thank you.
Look, I know agriculture
is a really difficult business
and I'm going to buy produce
from the farmers market
from now on.
I'm sure that's appreciated.
I hope you find whatever it is
that you're looking for.
Two wedding bands for a start.
Ha! You're funny.
You are funny.
He's really good-looking...
for a thief.
This is gonna be interesting.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Wow.
Hello again. I don't think
I've seen you before.
Oh, that's a hummingbird
Golden Bell.
Part of the chrysanthemum
family.
That particular breed is unique
to the gardens.
They're beautiful.
Is this your garden?
I like to think I'm in charge,
but the flowers
have other ideas.
Flowers will do that.
- Tom Poppy.
- Amelia Hart.
Ah, the maid of honour!
And the famous florist.
We weren't expecting you
for another few days.
I'm early. I hope that's OK.
I'm sure you've arrived
just in time.
- Come inside.
- Thank you.
I knew Jake's parents
owned an inn,
but Bonnie failed to mention
how magical this place is.
Is that the famous
Amelia Hart I can hear?
How did she...
It's just easier to assume
Mrs Poppy knows everything. Tea?
Oh, that would be so lovely.
Thank you.
Hi.
It's so wonderful
you've come earlier.
Welcome to Hummingbird Cafe.
Wow.
Come have a seat,
Piper? Amelia. Amelia, Piper.
- Hi.
- How are you?
How can everyone be so calm?
Oh, Piper.
Take some air
and some deep breaths.
Don't mind Piper,
she's just very nervous
about all the wedding
preparations.
Luckily she managed to have a
moment with Bonnie on the phone.
And then her phone cut out.
Yeah, I spoke to Bonnie.
Her line was terrible.
- Milk and sugar?
- Yes.
Luckily Piper managed to find
out where the wedding list was.
I can't take care of the cafe
and do all of that on my own.
You won't be on your own.
Look, help has arrived.
Bonnie told us all about those
celebrity weddings.
So we'll just let Amelia
guide us. OK?
Oh, I... I only do flowers,
Mrs Poppy.
But you were in
'Coast to Country' magazine.
I know because Bonnie told us.
Oh, that's so lovely
but that was about the company
that wasn't about me.
But Bonnie said you are the 'it'
flower girl of Chicago,
so you're perfect to help
with the wedding.
Besides, you won't be
on your own.
Between our chores at the inn
we can all help
and Grayson will too.
Grayson Tanner, the best man.
Well, I'll try my best.
I can help. Whatever you need.
Biscuits, macaroons, cake.
Especially cake.
Mainly cake.
Just cake.
Piper works in our little cafe.
And she's making Bonnie and
Jake's wedding cake too.
Bonnie taught me everything
I know.
Bonnie's the best.
Well, what's first on the list?
Wedding rings.
Got it... Check.
See, everything's under control.
And, then... cake tasting.
Gosh, this place is just...
it's so beautiful.
And the detail.
I mean, look.
Ah...
is there a bathroom
I can go freshen up in?
Oh, certainly, love.
Let's show you to the cottage
On the very likelihood
that your luggage
has gone on an adventure...
I've taken the liberty of
putting some of Bonnie's clothes
on the bed for you.
I think you're about
the same size.
Yeah, just about I think.
Oh, as for the cake tasting,
as I recall,
Jake doesn't like coconut.
Oh, not a bit.
And Bonnie doesn't like
chocolate
so I'll mention to Grayson,
no coconut and no chocolate.
Your early arrival is
serendipitous my darling.
- Thank you.
- Welcome to Daisy Cottage.
I've always thought there was
something very romantic
about the humble daisy.
You know, I always thought
daisies were weeds.
Weeds are just flowers
who refuse to grow in rows.
You're quite the romantic,
Mr Poppy.
He's a gardener, he has to be.
Now, you make yourself at home,
love.
Let us know if you want
anything.
- Thank you.
- See you a bit later.
Come on.
Please
leave a message after the tone.
Hi Peter, I'm here in one piece.
I am staying at the most
gorgeous inn
and the owners have
these amazing flowers that...
ones that I've never heard of
before.
Such a mess.
Come on, Bonnie.
Don't you have anything less...
Bohemian.
Hi, you must be Grayson Tanner.
Amelia, lovely to meet you.
Are those the wedding bands?
Yeah.
Flew in from Chicago, right?
Ah...
I'm sorry, but have we met
before?
I'm not sure.
Wait, were you at
Kimberly Watson's pool party?
OK.
You know, she didn't even have
a pool.
I obviously made a fool
of myself.
Yes, you have.
I apologise. It was a really
crazy long flight.
I appreciate the apology.
- I'll consider it.
- You have to accept an apology.
No, I don't.
- Well, I think you should.
- No.
Well, then I take my apology
back.
You can't.
You already gave it to me.
- Piper!
- Good afternoon, kiddo.
Right, let's get this
over and done with.
Good afternoon, and welcome to
the Hummingbird Cafe,
where we will create
the cake of your dream.
Piper, you don't have to give us
the whole sales pitch.
OK.
These score sheets will help you
find the perfect cake.
You rank each cake based on
flavour, texture, and so on.
Have a look and I'll bring back
some delicious samples.
Is all this really necessary?
I mean, we're not trying to
create something
overly complicated.
Well, I think it's a wonderful
idea.
What a great way for couples
to choose a cake.
Yes, but we're not a couple
choosing a cake.
We are representing a couple
choosing the cake.
Why don't we just decide on one
now and be done with it?
What did you have in mind?
What about... that one?
No.
What's wrong with that one?
It's a children's birthday cake
in the shape of a tractor.
I hope your taste buds
are ready for an adventure!
A tractor.
Mmm... mmm... Is this coconut?
Coconut cakes were huge
in the early 2000s.
I bet they're making a comeback.
Cake flavours do not
come in and out of trend.
I've provided more flowers to
more weddings and I can count.
Trust me, there is a trend
for everything.
Do you want to know what's
on trend for cakes right now?
- No, I do not.
- Earl Grey tea.
I don't believe you.
Hey Piper, made any
tea flavoured cakes recently?
Earl Grey, jasmine or matcha?
This is a perfect
chocolate cake.
Right. Piper, we've made
a decision.
- Chocolate.
- Wonderful.
Always a crowd-pleaser.
But we can't have chocolate.
You just said you liked it.
I did. I do, but Bonnie doesn't
like chocolate.
- Who doesn't like chocolate?
- Bonnie.
I really think Jake would like
the chocolate.
Well, I think Bonnie
would really like the coconut.
Jake doesn't like coconut.
Well, Bonnie doesn't like
chocolate
and you're happy to go with
that.
Fine. Piper, we'll go with
a coconut cake
with chocolate frosting.
Ah...
So, Bonnie has to scrape off
the frosting
and all Jake gets is frosting?
That makes no sense.
Could I make a suggestion?
I'm supposed to give
real couples time to chat
between themselves,
but I think in this situation
maybe that would be a mistake.
Perhaps you should get
the opinion of two people
who are less invested
than yourselves?
Like the bride and groom.
I can't plan a wedding with her,
Jake.
It's only been 20 minutes,
Grayson.
Come on, mate,
give her a chance.
I did give her a chance.
I gave her a chance
to be friendly
and she accused me
of being a thief.
Then I gave her a chance
to like cake
and she picks one made of tea.
Tea, Jake.
Grayson and I
have different attitudes
when it comes to making
decisions.
How do you mean?
He likes to make impulsive,
bad decisions
while I like to make thoughtful,
good decisions.
I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
What I mean to say is that
I like to consider things
while he makes snap judgments.
She's going to turn this wedding
into some city girl,
Instagram Pinterest wedding.
What's a Pinterest wedding?
He's going to turn this wedding
into a 10-year-old's
birthday party.
I'm sure he won't...
with you there to help.
Well, that's why I made you
my best man.
There's nobody else I'd trust
with my wedding.
I am so sorry for all of this,
Amelia.
There you are with all that
stress, and here I am.
No, it's OK, Bon.
I mean, I've had to deal with
high maintenance brides
and grooms, I think I can handle
a rogue best man.
I've got your back, Jake.
OK, the wedding will be great.
Ready for round two?
Let's do it.
I think I need new cue cards.
OK.
So we scored the 4 out of 5
for the citrus
and a 1 out of 5
for the coffee cake.
No, to coffee cake.
Hey, would you look at that?
We scored a 5 out of 5
for the rose buttercream.
Congratulations, Mr Tanner.
I do believe we have made
a decision.
Thank goodness.
Great!
I should be getting back.
Oh, did you want to meet
tomorrow considering
that we're on a tight schedule?
Sure.
Let's meet here at say 10:00am?
Perfect.
And if things don't get
any crazier,
we might be able to just
pull this off.
Stranger things have happened.
I'll see you tomorrow.
OK.
I love to walk here
in the mornings
to clear my mind.
I feel like I'm walking
into an enchanted garden
with all these inspiring flowers
glistening against the lake.
It's like a Monet painting.
Oh, Amelia.
It's so wonderful having
an artist-in-residence again.
- Oh, I am not an artist.
- Nonsense.
Your arrangements
are creations, aren't they?
Your bouquets represent the most
complex human emotion of all -
love.
So that makes you an artist,
doesn't it?
Well, our clients
are more focused on
show-stopping arrangements
that appear in magazines
than love.
The grim realities of
the hustle.
Something like that.
But I'm up for a major contract
supplying flowers
for the corporate offices
in the financial district.
Won't you miss working with
people?
Bonnie told me all about
your mother's flower shop.
It sounded like you were
following in her footsteps.
My mum...
she was...
she was something special.
How so?
When you bought flowers
from her store,
you were taking part of
something special.
She would... she would give
a piece of her heart to you
and in return,
you would do the same.
I just don't deal with clients
that much,
so I don't know how to do that.
Sounds like you just need to
have the right environment
to bloom.
Wait, do I smell coffee?
You Americans and your coffee.
Mmm.
Liquid gold.
So where's the surgeon?
Um... what?
Mrs Poppy mentioned
that your boyfriend
was some big city surgeon
and that he'd be joining you.
He wanted to come,
but he was just so busy.
He's about to become...
Come this way.
The chief of medicine.
Well, just as well
you're spoken for
or Mrs Poppy would have tried
to fix you up.
You'd be engaged
before the end of the week
and we'd be planning two
weddings!
He's right.
I'm known as somewhat
of a matchmaker
around Primrose River.
- I set up Bonnie and Jake.
- Oh.
So that just leaves you,
Grayson.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I've only got room in my heart
for one lady
and stopping her from eating
your roses keeps me busy enough.
Oh, he's talking about
a mini goat.
Oh.
Now, we just have six days
until the wedding.
And we still don't have
a bride and groom in sight.
Right. Right. OK.
Well, we have wedding bands.
Check. Cake tasting, check.
And now we just have to choose
entertainment.
Select table settings,
flowers, my domain,
and the last thing on the list
is a final dress fitting,
but I'm sure we'll have
the bride and groom for that.
It's a plan.
Yes.
I thought they already had
a band.
They did but they fell through
so we have to choose from one of
their favourite performers.
So whoever has the most votes
wins.
Easy peasy.
What could go wrong?
Bravo!
I loved it!
- Come on up.
- Oh no, no.
Oh no.
Si senor.
I'll give it a whirl.
Bravissimi! Well played!
Oh, that was so beautiful!
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
You know, I thought
this would be a lot harder
but this is a really easy
decision.
Agreed.
I mean, it's obvious, isn't it?
Clear as the sky
on a spring day.
So we had the Flamenco Fanfare,
the Bluebottle Bill
and his banjo,
and, the undeniably talented,
Champagne Trio.
So we're all in agreement?
Bluebottle Bill's a legend.
Don't you want everybody
up and dancing?
Yeah, but Bonnie and Jake need
something romantic to dance to.
Their first dance can't be
the Bullfrog Hayride.
Why not? It's a great song.
Really
I'm kidding.
Look, OK, Flamenco Fanfare
were great
but they're not exactly
Bonnie and Jake either.
Yeah, sorry Mrs Poppy.
Their loss.
I just think the classical
musical selection is a bit...
Beautiful, elegant, amazing?
Stuffy.
This isn't the foyer
of a fancy hotel.
Ah!
Sorry, am I late? Is the place
for the wedding audition?
This is Summer Kingsley.
She babysits
for the Brown family.
She also came third
in the swimming tournament
last year didn't you?
Second actually.
Summer is our resident songbird.
She sings in the garden
every Christmas.
Um...
I'm generally very supportive
of young people
but, you know,
it's my sister's wedding
and do you think she's
a little...
Inexperienced?
Summer, have you played
for a live audience before?
I sing at the festival
at Christmas.
There's usually like...
15 people there.
See, 15 people.
Bona fide professional!
When you're ready, darling.
Daylight fades in the sunsets
with you
I'll be everything
you want me to
Oh I know my heart changed
when we met
Oh I know the best
is to come yet
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
So make the most of a life
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that I want
you to be mine
Now and forever.
Congratulations Summer.
What are you doing on Saturday?
Wait, I got the gig?
You sure did.
Oh. Thank you so much.
Congratulations, honey.
Congratulations, honey.
Right, what's on the docket
today, then?
Greatest thing in the whole wide
world...
flowers.
Flowers are next, Grayson.
You know, I can probably take it
from here
if you have someplace else you
need to be?
I'm committed to
my best man duties.
I promise, I won't interrupt.
I'll hold you to that.
Oh, Amelia. Wonderful.
How did your auditions go
yesterday?
Did you make your decision?
Mrs Poppy found us
a wonderful musician.
She's a magical woman my wife.
I've known you two
since I was a boy
and I swear you fall
more in love every day.
Have you met her?
Who wouldn't?
Are these heat-resistant roses?
Certainly are.
How did you get them
so voluptuous?
I have a foolproof
aphid deterrent -
marigolds.
Aphids don't like marigolds?
Aphids don't like ladybirds
and ladybirds love marigolds.
The beetles make their way
to their rose neighbours...
like a round-the-clock
security system,
keeping those pesky aphids away.
That's how the roses
get so full.
They help each other grow.
Camellias. They are the most
perfect flower.
Don't you think so, Grayson?
Oh... Yeah, I guess so.
Amelia, my garden holds
the National Camellia
Reference Collection.
Would you like to help me plant
some of these seedlings into it?
Yes! Yes, I would.
You sleep...
and we'll see you soon.
Whenever you're ready.
Take your time.
Mr Poppy, did you did you do
all this yourself?
I've had some assistance
over the years.
Ha! He's being incredibly
humble.
Mr Poppy's been working on
these gardens
for as long as I can remember.
It has been a labour of love.
What's...
What's that over there?
Oh, that.
I've had some ideas.
A barn store perhaps
where people could purchase
flowers and produce
from the gardens.
Looks like it could be
something special.
- With a little bit of paint.
- And a new roof.
A true garden is never finished.
As the wise, Audrey Hepburn
once said,
"To plant a garden
is to believe in tomorrow."
So what are you gonna do
with it now?
I don't know.
Perhaps tomorrow will tell me.
- What is so funny?
- Nothing.
Just a side of you
I didn't expect.
What? A flower nerd?
Is that even a thing?
I think it is. I like it.
You're like a completely
different person.
Well, I obviously made
a great first impression on you.
That's not what I meant.
Just mean you see more relaxed.
Less worried about
colour palettes.
Camellias are my favourite
flower.
They're special to me.
Special how?
They were my mum's
favourite flower.
She passed away from cancer
when we were both young.
I'm sorry.
She loved them so much.
She used to say that she named
her daughter after them.
Amelia is short for Camellia.
Is that a little cliche to be
a florist named after a flower?
Not at all.
I'm a vet named after a horse.
- No?
- Yeah.
My father's favourite horse
was called Grayson.
He was a stunning stallion.
People came from miles around
just to see him.
- He was famous.
- Is that true?
No, I just didn't want to make
you feel bad.
These are the blooms Mr Poppy
is cultivating for the wedding.
I like the yellow ones.
You promised to be quiet.
I'll stand here in silence
being quietly supportive.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm just not...
Flowers aren't just about
being pretty,
they each have
a discernible voice
when they say something.
I know it sounds crazy, but
flowers have whole language.
For instance, it's Mother's Day,
what kind of flowers
do you get your mum?
I don't know... carnations?
The...
sunflowery ones,
the big daisies.
- Gerberas.
- Yeah.
OK, well, why not red roses?
Because they're romantic.
Well, why?
What is it about the red rose
that says,
"I think about you
all the time."
"I care about you."
"I desire you."
"You alone
above all the others."
I don't know.
Because I just don't know
what...
this bouquet says...
is all.
Are you OK?
Most likely.
It's just a minor procedure.
Just one problem.
My assistant is stuck on
a mountain with his fiance.
Can I help?
Come on, let's go.
Hey there little guy.
You're safe now. You're safe.
Hey, there's some formula,
can you just mix some in
a bottle?
Oh yeah, sure.
I know you're hungry,
she's getting you some.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi little guy.
Here you go. Here you go.
Whenever you're ready.
Come on, you can do it.
Look. Look. Look, look, look.
Aren't you beautiful?
So cute.
Is he gonna be OK?
He will.
Probably just got separated
from his mama.
Does that happen a lot?
Sometimes.
Nature can be tough.
But so is he.
He looks healthy.
There's no reason
he shouldn't be released
once he's big enough
to take care of himself.
He's cosy now.
Not as cosy as his mother's
pouch, but still pretty good.
I can see why you spend
so much time here.
What makes you say that?
First of all, why would you ever
want to leave?
And secondly, I saw your
toothbrush in the bathroom.
Guilty.
Yeah, this job isn't always
9 to 5.
I was actually offered head vet
position at the City Zoo
on the promise of better hours.
Would you leave Primrose River?
Oh, not a chance.
- Must be tiring.
- Sometimes.
But you make time for the things
you care about.
So I guess I'll see you tomorrow
to figure out the seating plan?
It's a date.
No, it's not.
It is when I will see you next.
Thanks again for helping me,
Amelia.
Happy to help.
- Good night.
- Bye.
Amelia, we were starting
to get worried.
We're just going down
to the bottom of the garden
to watch the fireflies,
would you like to join us?
Oh, that sounds so lovely, but
I think I'm going to turn in.
OK, that's fine.
- OK. Good night.
- Sleep well.
Thank you. You too.
Amelia, good morning.
Good morning.
I'm just off to work on
some flower designs.
I should have something soon.
When you're ready.
Is there something else
I can help you with?
Now that you ask, actually,
I was hoping you might be able
to help an old man impress
a certain someone?
I would love to.
How can I help?
It's my wedding anniversary.
I think this place
is just crying out
for some laughter again,
don't you think?
Some children running through
over there,
a couple taking a moment
to themselves just over there.
These Gardens will be busy with
guests again one day, Mrs P.
I have a good feeling about it.
I know the world
would love this place.
I just don't know
how to get the word out.
- Mmm.
- Thank you.
Mm-mm! What do you call these
delicate little treats?
Honey blossoms.
I made them with honey
from your beehives.
Mr Poppy makes joy for the eyes.
Piper you make joy
for the taste buds.
Delilah, you make everyone feel
at home.
I wish I could just package
this place up
and sell it
in little brown paper bags
to everyone in Chicago.
Oh, that's so sweet.
You know, that dress
really suits you.
Thank you. I really hope
Bonnie doesn't mind.
Well, I'm sure he doesn't.
Now, tell me about Peter.
Who?
My boyfriend. He's a surgeon...
I just tried calling him
this morning,
but I must have missed him.
He's been really busy.
No, I mean tell me about him.
What is it you love about
this man?
How did you know Mr Poppy
was the one for you, Mrs P?
Because when I was with him,
he made me feel truly seen.
He loves all of me
just the way I am.
And I can be a lot!
When the seeds of love
are sown into your heart...
It's you who blossoms.
Your mother was certainly right
about that.
Morning.
Hope you're ready to work out
which one of your uncles
will get along best
with Jake's football buddies!
- I'm sorry?
- It's 10 o'clock.
We're supposed to help Mrs Poppy
with the seating plan.
Oh, it's ten o'clock already.
Um...
Wow.
You're really talented.
No, I don't feel talented.
- Out with it.
- Out with what?
I may not speak florist,
but I do speak miserable.
It's how I diagnosed a koala
with a salt deficiency.
You're upset. What's wrong?
I got a bad review.
Oh, no, not you?
You've done over 65 weddings!
So what's one bad review?
I'm sure you've got hundreds
of brilliant reviews
to make up for it.
One bad review from August Ivy
from Coast to Country magazine
is like a hundred bad reviews
from everyone else.
Well, what did she say?
'He' said that he thinks
I lost my touch...
and I think he might be right.
- Right, I know we need to do.
- What?
We're getting you out of here.
Well, what about
the seating arrangement?
Mrs Poppy is more than capable
of doing the seating plan.
- Ah...
- You're right.
She'll have everyone playing
musical chairs all night.
OK.
Extended family,
high school friends,
footy buddies,
college friends...
miscellaneous.
Let's go.
Huh.
Oh, they've sorted it
the darlings.
Good.
Ooh.
I don't see how this
is helping my problem?
Sometimes,
the best way to find an answer
is to stop looking
so hard for it.
- Thanks Grayson.
- OK. Bye.
Come on buddy.
This is a kangaroo paw.
See, looks just like
a kangaroo's foot.
Native to Australia.
It's so calm.
This is where Primrose River
meets the sea.
Starts as a trickle
in the mountains
and works its way over the hills
and valleys
to pour out into the ocean.
Gives me that sense of...
Coming home.
Yeah, something like that.
You've worked on
lots of weddings,
what do you think the recipe is
for couples who make it?
I guess they seem
just so easy with each other.
And they make each other laugh,
and it's effortless
like they don't even know
they're doing it.
Peter's a lucky guy.
He is. We are very lucky.
Thanks.
All of my plans fell through
Living my life with you
Bring me home my love
Bring me all the way home
Bring me home my love...
Oh.
Amelia!
A piece of your luggage arrived,
but it's not your clothes
I'm afraid.
No, it's a brown box.
Oh, thank you.
You know I've always preferred
daisies over roses don't you?
I know.
- Hello, Peter speaking.
- Peter, hi!
- Amelia, do you mind holding?
- No, no. I'll hold.
- Amelia?
- Hi Peter.
- Is something wrong?
- No. No, nothing's wrong.
You know, I learned something
today about rose bushes.
Yeah?
- So if you plant marigolds...
- Yeah.
Next to the rose bushes,
the ladybugs on the marigolds...
- Right.
- will eat the bugs
that try to attack
the rose bushes.
Huh.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say
is,
do you think
that we're growing together?
Amelia, you sound half asleep.
No, I'm not half asleep.
I have a surgery.
Can we talk later?
OK, yeah, when are you free?
Tomorrow is good.
OK, yeah,
I'll call you tomorrow.
- OK.
- Great. Talk then.
Bye.
Marigolds.
Rose bushes.
It's you that blossoms.
Mrs McKenzie's eyesight
has gotten much worse
she can barely
read the specials sign.
Order more gardenias.
Kate just had her heart broken.
Sunflowers for warm,
fuzzy heart mend.
Is still limping from his
wrestling match with crownfish.
Gloria's twisted...
Oh, Mum.
Oh, Mum.
Grayson!
Grayson?
Grayson, I know how she did it.
Don't tell me,
I haven't watched it yet.
What?
Whatever murder-mystery
you're talking about.
No. No, my mum.
Look, she wrote all these
observation and notes
about people.
So Mrs McKenzie's eyesight
has gotten much worse
she could barely read
the specials sign.
Order more gardenias.
Gardenias are an incredibly
fragrant flower
and she was reminding herself
to focus on smell
and not colour and that...
Here's another one.
Dr Wilson uses his order
to decorate his waiting room.
No lilies, more bulbs.
Lilies they irritate the sinuses
and she wanted
more cheerful blooms
like tulips and daffodils.
It wasn't magic, Grayson,
she just... she just listened.
Wow! That is a beautiful horse.
Mercedes is special.
I would love to spend
more time here,
but I gotta go,
I'm too inspired.
I know she's beautiful, Lauren.
I have eyes.
'Cause she has a boyfriend.
Award-winning doctor boyfriend
who's probably going to propose.
I mean, most handsome doctor
award probably.
I don't know.
Lauren, we've spoken about this.
You know what, Lauren?
Good idea.
Remember the first dance
should be about love.
And above all...
passion.
Remind me, why do we need to
learn the first dance?
Because Enrique is booked
for months...
we need Bonnie and Jake
to learn the steps.
It is a tragedy.
But at least you and I
have done this before.
We'll have to lead this
uncoordinated butterfly.
I am...
not an uncoordinated butterfly!
My child, you have the grace
of a newborn giraffe
blinking in the sun
and tripping over its own neck.
You know it was not too long ago
that Grayson stumbled into
my dance class
and now he moves like a panther!
Slinking across the savannah!
Hm?
Alright, enough talk.
Let's dance.
What is that ringing?
Oh. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.
Peter, hi.
- Amelia, how are you?
- Yeah, no I'm...
Great, yeah. No, I'm just in
the middle of something.
OK. You sound busy.
Yeah. Can I...
Can I call you later?
- OK.
- OK.
- I miss you.
- I miss you too.
- Talk soon.
- OK. Bye.
Bye.
No more distractions.
No more distractions.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Yes, sir.
You OK, you seem a little tense?
Just feeling the music.
Very good, Grayson.
Very good Grayson!
Whoo!
And then when it's time
for the wedding,
you two will be more than ready.
- Oh.
- We aren't...
Amelia's got a boyfriend
back in Chicago. So...
Boyfriend.
Yeah.
I... He's great.
We're just friends.
Amigos.
Yeah.
Amigos.
Oh Tom, your garden.
Oh!
Thank you, Amelia.
Delilah, I've known you
for 45 wonderful years.
As a gardener I've been
lucky enough to know the joy
of when a rare flower decides to
make a home in your garden.
You are as rare and as wonderful
as any flower.
It would be my honour
if you would join me
in renewing our vows.
Oh Tom!
I would love to.
Thank you so much Grayson
for your help.
You know...
beneath that tough Australian
country boy exterior,
yeah, there's a bit of
a romantic.
I like a bit of romance
every now and then.
Oh, really?
Yes, sometimes I even put
rose petals in my bathtub
just for fun.
Oh.
Sounds delightful.
I was actually engaged once.
We had the wedding
all planned out.
Everything was ready and...
I guess you decided
I wasn't right for her.
Wow, Grayson. I'm so sorry.
After that I just threw myself
into my work,
which isn't hard to do.
I mean the animals
are incredible.
And you know what,
I wouldn't change a thing
because it led me to this moment
and to see that incredible
display of affection
between Mr and Mrs Poppy.
And that was really something,
Amelia.
I hope you remember
how you made those two
incredible people feel.
Especially when you're thinking
about that August Thistle,
or whatever his name was.
Yeah. August Thistle.
You're a bit of a rare flower
yourself, Amelia.
Hi Peter.
Amelia. Nice dress.
Very... rustic.
You don't like it?
I do. It's just different
that's all.
How are things down under?
You sounded, well,
crazy the other day.
Peter, there's something
I need to talk to you about.
I know what you're going to say.
You do?
I think it might be
what you're trying to tell me
with the ladybug story.
I mean, it's strange, right?
That... that we're both planners,
and we've never even talked
about our future.
Yes, and I agree with you.
- You do?
- We should get married.
As soon as I become
chief of medicine.
That's not what I meant.
It's not?
Peter, we haven't spoken in days
and... and I just don't feel...
Feel... what?
Are you excited when you see
my name appear on your phone?
Amelia, you're just getting
swept up in old-fashioned ideas
of romance.
It's not like it is
in the movies,
people don't surprise each other
with flowers.
Or romantic dates or...
Dancing under the stars
or watching long sunsets.
Exactly.
Peter, if we were meant to be
together, it...
it shouldn't be this hard.
I mean, I know it shouldn't be
a fairytale either,
but I do think
it should come naturally.
And maybe I am getting swept
away but you know the nice thing
about getting swept away is
that it just kind of happens.
If you want me to buy you some
flowers and light some candles
we can put a date in the diary
for some romance.
I think we need more than a date
on a calendar for romance.
I just don't think we're growing
together anymore.
Peter, you are the most
clear minded, ambitious man
that I have ever met.
You're one of the most
thoughtful intelligent women
I've ever met.
I'm sorry, I can't give you
what you need.
Me too. I'm sorry too.
Maybe we're just better off
as friends?
I'd like that - maybe not
right away, but one day.
Paging Dr Peter McKenna.
Well, duty calls.
Bye, Amelia.
Bye, Peter.
Thinking of you.
Piper, how did you know?
Hi.
That woman should work
for the FBI.
You're very quiet today, Grayson
Usually you're telling me off
for something.
I'm busy pretending I know
anything about fixing cars.
I've also been busy planning
your son's wedding.
Any word from them?
Still waiting for a flight
I'm afraid.
You're sure you haven't been
distracted
by a certain charming florist.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
So you do not have feelings
for Amelia.
Nope, no feelings other than
normal people feelings.
Then you won't be interested
to know
she and her doctor boyfriend
have broken up.
There you go.
She'll run like a dream now.
When? How?
Did she say anything else?
I thought you had...
how did you put it?
Normal people feelings for
Amelia or whatever that means.
Mr Poppy, please.
Grayson, I think it would be
a very wonderful thing
if you finally,
truly let someone in.
All that I wanted
All that I needed
All of my dreams
can come true
Nothing seems impossible
Now that I have
what I have with you
It's born out of love
and it's born out of giving
And strengthened by trust
It's a bond that's unspoken
That'll never be broken
Never be lost...
You know, I haven't seen him
this happy in a long time.
Who?
You think I came down
in the last rain shower?
Grayson.
He's not had a smile on his face
since his fiance left him
at the altar.
He was left at the altar?
Took a long time to bounce back
from something like that,
but he did and now you are here
and I've never seen him
so happy.
Amelia, what's wrong?
I've never been so happy,
Mr Poppy.
I feel like myself
if that makes any sense,
but I've built my entire life
in Chicago,
so I can't just abandon it all.
Amelia, do you see this flower?
Yes.
Do you know how many hours
and weeks and years
I've spent cultivating it
to grow it in my garden
to get the perfect
spring yellow?
It's your life's work.
I did not grow this flower,
it grew itself.
I did not plant the seeds
or crossbreed it
with another plant.
I just walked into my garden
one day and there it was,
bright as the sun
and just as audacious.
It just grew on its own?
Love will grow wherever it finds
somewhere to thrive.
All you have to decide
is whether to nurture it.
More cake?
I've become Piper's official
taste tester.
I can't eat any more cake.
Just, please, help yourself.
Sticking to your one colour
palette, I see?
I'm looking for the delicate
nature of the dahlia,
the beauty of the aster...
Baby's breath is so pure,
but it's...
I have to take this.
Busy, busy.
Hello, Amelia speaking.
Amelia, Tom Hooper
from the Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, Mr Hooper.
Yes, of course I remember
the President of
the Business Association.
I'm calling to offer you
the contract. Congratulations.
That's amazing news.
I thought you'd be
a little more excited?
No. No. No. I'm very happy.
I can be back in Chicago
as soon as the wedding's over.
Fantastic. We're excited
to have you on board.
Thank you.
Yes, I'm very excited too.
Wonderful.
Well, have a safe trip
and we'll see you soon.
Thank you. Thank you.
OK, I'll talk to you soon.
Now... where were we?
Grayson?
So this...
It really is so very lucky that
you're the same size as Bonnie.
Very.
Well, are you gonna come out
soon?
Is that really necessary?
Yes it is.
If I have to then you...
have to.
Thank you.
Come on. Come on.
Oh, they look stunning.
Amelia...
Yes, Grayson?
Wahey hey hey!
We made it!
Don't let the groom
see the dress!
Don't let the groom
see the dress!
Bonnie and Jake, you made it!
Look at this!
Looking sharp mate!
Amelia, did we scare you?
Hi darling.
Oh, I'm just so glad
you're here.
Oh, me too.
Now, get out of that dress
so I can get into it.
Come here.
Help me out of this.
You look so beautiful.
Finally, Bonnie and I
would like to thank everyone
for making it to our
rehearsal dinner, including us.
Oh and a very, very, very big
thank you to Amelia and Grayson.
Without them none of this would
have happened.
They have saved our wedding
and our deposit.
To Mum and Dad...
I'm the man I am today
because of you.
You took me in
and you raised me as your own
and I will forever be grateful.
I love you guys.
Oh darling.
OK, that's enough of that.
And the toast.
Let us be grateful to the people
that make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners
that make our souls blossom.
They make our souls blossom.
Cheers guys.
Mm, yeah.
I can't believe you almost
missed your own wedding.
We had things under control.
Sorta.
Typical Bon.
You good?
I'm so good.
There's something different
about you.
You're... I don't know, like...
you look really happy.
No, I just I feel like I have
this like new creative energy
or it's this place.
Mr and Mrs Poppy. I...
I mean, this country town that
you were talking about it's...
well, I do have one very
important question for you.
Am I ever getting my clothes
back?
No. But I will let you
borrow them.
Oh, thank you so much.
You're getting married!
- I missed you.
- Oh my god.
Good morning.
- I'm getting married today.
- OK, calm.
What do you reckon Mercedes?
Do I pass muster or...
Do not put horse hair
on that coat!
What are you both doing here?
I told you, I'd take care of
everything here today.
Amelia delivered
our button-holes.
He didn't want to put them on
without you.
Feeling good.
Terrified, but really good.
I can see that.
Bonnie, she just makes, my gosh,
every day amazing, you know?
She's my sunrise, my sunset
she's my next breath
and I don't know if that's corny
or romantic,
but that's what I'm sticking to.
Jake, that's about as romantic
as it gets.
- Yeah?
- Jake it's time.
Oh, OK. Goodness.
You should tell her, you know.
- Tell who, what?
- Amelia.
I don't...
Grayson, I've known you
a long time.
Something magical is happening
for you.
Something you didn't expect
or ask for.
Let it.
How do I know she feels the same
way about me?
Gentlemen.
Amelia has really outdone
herself.
Just look at the beautiful
colour she chose.
Daylight fades
and the sun sets with you
The stars are out shining
down on the view
I'll be everything
you want me too
Standing under the arbour
just two...
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm Grayson Tanner
and I have the privilege
of being Jake's best man,
his best vet,
and his best friend,
and I won't hold
you from your celebrations,
but I would be remiss if I
didn't take this opportunity
to toast to the bride and groom.
I work with animals, which means
I don't have to talk very much
so I'll ask for your forgiveness
in advance.
I have not always understood
what love is.
In fact, sometimes
I think I still don't.
And I'm beginning to wonder
if that's because
love is everywhere.
It is our friends.
Our family.
Our passions, our work,
our values.
And sometimes some of us
are lucky enough to meet someone
when their very soul seems to
embody all of these things.
Love is very much like the
flowers in Mr Poppy's gardens.
They start from a seed
without anyone asking them to,
and, with the right amount
of care,
bloom into something beautiful,
that wasn't there before.
I'm beginning to wonder if
what's so difficult
to understanding love
is in marrying
two very different ideas -
something so profoundly rare,
complex and wonderful
is asking something so
overwhelmingly simple of us.
To just let it in.
To Bonnie and Jake.
Two people who make love
look easy.
May the sun shine down on,
may you have just enough rain
to grow
and may your roots grow
stronger with every season.
To Bonnie and Jake.
To Bonnie and Jake.
Oh, who did the flowers?
Oh, Amelia's in Bloom.
Oh.
We did good.
You did good.
This is all you Amelia.
Oh, I don't know about that.
We make a pretty amazing team.
- Amelia...
- Grayson.
- You go.
- No, no. Ladies first.
I insist.
Amelia...
this last week has been amazing.
And I know it sounds crazy,
but...
you mean a lot to me.
You mean a lot to me, too.
But what...
How do you see this working?
My whole life is in Chicago.
Perhaps I could...
Leave all your animals and go
live in a concrete jungle?
Come on, you would hate that,
and I wouldn't let you do that.
Besides, I have a contract
that I have to...
Of course.
I wouldn't expect you to.
Um... so what is it?
This exciting new project
back in Chicago?
It's a corporate contract for
applying flowers to businesses.
Like lobbies and waiting rooms
and veterinary clinics.
Doesn't sound very creative.
It's secure, and it's reliable.
And safe. I understand.
But right now, you don't sound
like the same woman
who just spent all afternoon
creating a whole field
of daisies,
or used a secret flower language
to do all of this.
I didn't do this.
Everyone else did.
Love did. I'm not my mother.
So when do you leave?
I have to be back Monday, so...
- Grayson...
- Amelia.
I didn't know your mother.
OK, but I do know you.
And you are more extraordinary
than you give yourself
credit for.
Don't look at me like that,
Lauren.
Of course I'll come back
and visit.
I'm taking a new job,
not moving to the Moon.
Now, you have to stay here
and take care of Jake.
Besides, the zoo doesn't exactly
have a goat exhibit.
Grayse?
What on Earth is this?
You decide to take a job
five hours away
and you tell me in a letter.
I mean, nice handwriting, by the
way, but who writes letters
these days anyway,
I saw you yesterday.
I didn't want to cause any drama
the day after your wedding.
Oh, so you thought that
leaving a note
and disappearing without a word
was the least dramatic option?
You don't understand, Jake,
I need a fresh start.
This is about Amelia, isn't it?
- You love her?
- No.
You do, it's written
all over your face.
Grayson.
She's your soul mate.
- I can't alright?
- Grayson. Gray...
- Beautiful last day.
- Yeah.
- Do you have to leave tomorrow?
- I do.
I'm gonna miss this place.
Well, then, let's make sure
we enjoy today.
What on Earth?
Can you believe it?
It's been like this since 8am.
And it's all because of you.
Look...
Amelia in Bloom is trending
everywhere on social media.
- What?
- Yeah.
Oh that's my sister!
I knew people would see you.
Excuse me.
- Amelia...
- Mr Poppy.
You must speak, flower,
for you've enchanted my garden
with life!
We're a sensation!
I don't know what to say.
Amelia, this is all happening
because of you.
Look around.
You always did have that special
thing.
You were always just...
a little bit magic.
Just like Mum.
You could have a store in
Primrose like your mother's.
Just like that?
Yeah, Mum, he was adamant.
I don't know.
Jake have you seen Grayson?
Ah, he's gone to the city.
Whatever for?
He decided to take that job
at City Zoo.
Said he needed a fresh start.
No. No, he can't.
Why?
Because...
because...
Yes?
Because I love him!
Jake, how long have we got
before Grayson
gets to the train?
Ah... he just left, so it will
take him at least 15 minutes
in that old truck of his
You'd never make it.
You'd have to cut across
the paddock,
and you'd still need a stallion
to beat him there.
Mercedes!
I don't have a Mercedes.
Huh?
Oh, Mercedes.
Let's go get him.
Come on, Mercedes.
Ya!
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid...
Come on.
Just be brave...
Whoa boy.
Grayson.
Amelia, what on Earth?
Mr Poppy, offered me the chance
to open up my own store
and I said, yes,
and the one person that I wanted
to share it with wasn't with me.
My mum used to say
when the seeds of love are sown
into your heart,
it's you who blossoms.
And I always thought that that
was some silly thing
that gardeners said.
Amelia...
Just let me get this out
or I'm never going to be able to
say this again.
I'm a better person
for coming to Primrose River
and I've never been happier
in my entire life
and I want to be able to
share that with you.
And I want to ride bikes
with you,
and I want to eat cake with you,
and I want to laugh with you,
and I want to be with you
and grow old with you.
What?
Amelia...
I've never...
I've never felt this way about
anyone and yet here you are
accusing me of being a thief,
digging up flower beds,
turning flowers into poetry,
chasing me down on a horse.
Amelia...
you are infuriating.
You are the most incredible,
brave, wonderful woman
I've ever met...
and I am so in love with you.
Daylight fades
and the sun sets with you
The stars are out shining
down on the view
I'll be everything
you want me to
Standing under the arbour
just two
Oh I know my life changed
when we met
Oh I know the best
is to come yet
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
Let's make the most
of our lives
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that I want
you to be mine now and forever
We dance in a candlelit room
tonight
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
My hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
Let's make the most
of our lives
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that
I want you to be mine
Now and forever.
Amelia, you've done it again.
I'm sure you would have created
something just as beautiful.
The wedding is in 10 hours
and the bride is impossible
to please.
I didn't like my chances.
Besides, you're the golden girl.
Just ask 'Coast to Country'
magazine.
Oh, these reviews aren't about
me, they're about the company.
Hey, everyone knows you're the
heart and soul of this place.
Well, if I had my own store,
I would have foxgloves
in the window and-
And a little brass bell
on the door
and a 'bunch of the day'
on special
so everyone can afford
a little luxury.
Well, that's what my mum's store
did.
Don't you have a special dinner
to get to?
I do, it's my five-year
anniversary.
I bet Peter's gonna propose
tonight.
- You think?
- I just know it.
August Ivy doesn't know what
he's talking about.
You haven't lost your touch.
If anything you have more...
touch.
Don't let it get to you.
Besides, soon you'll be
in Australia
with nothing to worry about
but planning my wedding flowers.
I can't wait for your wedding,
Bon.
I'm so excited to see
this country town
that you've fallen so in love
with.
I'm surprised Peter can make it.
He always seems so busy.
He's just always working.
And you must be so busy.
I thought I'd have a lot more
responsibility
as your maid of honour.
Jake and I are actually on
a wellness retreat.
Getting some respite
before all the wedding madness.
So close to the wedding?
Wait, is...
is everything organised?
Ah... sort of.
- Bonnie...
- There's not that much to do.
You know, just the rings
and the cake,
and I got the table settings
and a couple of dress fittings.
- Bonnie!
- Don't worry about us.
We're manifesting.
Envision the perfect wedding,
and that's what you'll get.
Yeah, need to manifest
a positive review.
Promise you won't read it again
tonight.
Promise me, Amelia.
I promise.
City Flowers star florist
Amelia Hart
has impressive technical skill
but is let down by another
wedding playing it safe
with her trademark
white flowers.
Perhaps Amelia
is a one-trick pony.
He called me a horse, Peter.
A horse.
Well, these reviews
aren't about you,
they're about the whole company.
It says my name in italics.
I've been negatively italicised.
There is a waiting list
a mile long full of people
who want their wedding flowers
designed by Amelia Hart.
Who cares if you're using
a tried and tested formula.
It just shows
that your business savvy.
You'll be much happier
once you get
that business district contract.
I know.
Now can we leave August Ivy
for the evening
and celebrate our anniversary?
You're right. I'm so sorry.
This whole thing has made me
such a crazy person
and I haven't even started
thinking about Bonnie's wedding,
and we're leaving soon.
Um...
I need to talk to you about
something.
Oh?
We're planners, you and me...
and there's one milestone
I've been planning
for a very long time.
Really?
I haven't caught you
totally by surprise I hope?
I mean, I did wonder if tonight
was the night.
Amelia, you know me so well.
I do.
I'm so relieved.
This surgery is going to be
fascinating.
It's the first of its kind.
I can't say no
if I want to become chief
of medicine within five years.
I'm so glad you understand.
As soon as they asked,
I knew there was no way I could
pass up an opportunity like this
for a wedding in...
where did you say it was?
Australia?
Primrose River.
Maybe I should leave early?
You know, to take like
an early vacation.
That's a great idea.
You should go early
and spend quality time
with your little sister
before the wedding.
Text Dr Simmons.
Patient has perihepatic
free fluid...
Dr Simmons.
When the seeds of love are sown,
it's you that blossoms.
So, Grayson,
what's the prognosis
on your biggest patient?
- Infection's healing well.
- Oh good.
Oh, look at those eyes.
He has the heart of a champion.
So what do we owe
this morning's visit?
Can't a good neighbour
just pop in to say, hello?
OK, a little birdie told me
that the city zoo
has offered you
another veterinary position?
Is there anything
you don't know?
Just whether we're going to lose
you to the big smoke or not.
I don't think so.
Could be a good move for you.
You might even meet someone
special.
You know I don't mix well
with city people.
Oh, Grayson!
City people are just country
people who got lost.
Hi, how was the flight?
The flight was fine,
but my bags are gone
and I brought you a special box
that belonged to Mum.
That's gone, too.
They've disappeared between
Tulip Mountain
and Primrose River apparently.
They'll turn up. They always do.
Now I need to tell you
something...
Promise not to be disappointed.
- Promise...
- Bonnie?
This line is terrible
I can barely hear you.
Amelia?
Bonnie, is that spa music?
Are you still at the retreat?
You were due back days ago?
Oh, there's just been a tiny
little storm.
More of a strong breeze, really.
Bonnie...
Flights are grounded
and we're kinda stuck.
Bonnie.
We'll be back in no time, OK?
But I do need you to pick up
the wedding bands from town
Primrose River is tiny.
Everything is just a walk away.
And, you know, at least
you don't have to carry around
any heavy luggage.
Please?
The jeweller is lovely but she's
known to get a little confused.
I'm worried something might
happen to them
and I would just feel so much
better if they were with you.
Text me the name of the store.
Thank you.
Hello?
I am in Australia.
This... is... awesome.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I am here to pick up
some wedding bands.
- Oh congratulations!
- Oh, no, no, I'm not the bride.
I'm just to help
the ring bearer.
I'll just grab the order book.
- Great.
- Name?
Bonnie and Jake.
Oh, a lovely couple.
But, I'm sorry, those rings
have just been collected.
That's not possible.
Does it say who picked them up?
I just served him.
There he is.
- I know what's happening.
- What?
He stole them.
He's a scam artist.
This happens all the time
in Chicago.
- No?
- Yes.
I thought that was the vet.
Excuse me?
- Excuse me, sir.
- Hi.
- Excuse me.
- Are you alright?
- I don't mean to bother you.
- Oh, do you need directions?
No. No. I don't mean
to make this awkward...
Well, that's a relief.
Ah... No, no. I...
I'm sorry, is this a stick-up?
No, I would never.
We sometimes do things that
we're not proud of.
Like this one time
I was supposed to water
my mother's orchid
when she went out of town,
but I really wanted to go to
Kimberly Watson's
sleepover pool party,
and I thought, you know,
I'd give the orchid
two days worth of water.
What's the harm?
Turns out orchids don't really
like that much water.
And by the time my mother
got home,
the thing died a tragic death.
And you know what?
Kimberly Watson's pool party,
it wasn't even that good.
She didn't even have a pool.
All she had was a hose.
So, my point to this really
long-winded story
is that I understand
your position
is what I'm trying to say.
And what position is that
exactly?
About the scam you got going.
The con.
What are you talking about?
Taking the rings
that don't belong to you.
So, I'm just gonna
look the other way
as you gently return them
in my hand.
The wedding bands I picked up
from the Cornflower?
Yes.
My sister's wedding bands.
Oh, I see.
And you're here to make sure
they stay safe
between now and the big day.
- Bingo.
- Well, I can't argue with that.
Though I thought that was
the job of the best man?
And I don't want him
to look bad.
We wouldn't want that.
Well, you know what?
You've convinced me.
I'll hand 'em over.
Thank you.
Look, I know agriculture
is a really difficult business
and I'm going to buy produce
from the farmers market
from now on.
I'm sure that's appreciated.
I hope you find whatever it is
that you're looking for.
Two wedding bands for a start.
Ha! You're funny.
You are funny.
He's really good-looking...
for a thief.
This is gonna be interesting.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Wow.
Hello again. I don't think
I've seen you before.
Oh, that's a hummingbird
Golden Bell.
Part of the chrysanthemum
family.
That particular breed is unique
to the gardens.
They're beautiful.
Is this your garden?
I like to think I'm in charge,
but the flowers
have other ideas.
Flowers will do that.
- Tom Poppy.
- Amelia Hart.
Ah, the maid of honour!
And the famous florist.
We weren't expecting you
for another few days.
I'm early. I hope that's OK.
I'm sure you've arrived
just in time.
- Come inside.
- Thank you.
I knew Jake's parents
owned an inn,
but Bonnie failed to mention
how magical this place is.
Is that the famous
Amelia Hart I can hear?
How did she...
It's just easier to assume
Mrs Poppy knows everything. Tea?
Oh, that would be so lovely.
Thank you.
Hi.
It's so wonderful
you've come earlier.
Welcome to Hummingbird Cafe.
Wow.
Come have a seat,
Piper? Amelia. Amelia, Piper.
- Hi.
- How are you?
How can everyone be so calm?
Oh, Piper.
Take some air
and some deep breaths.
Don't mind Piper,
she's just very nervous
about all the wedding
preparations.
Luckily she managed to have a
moment with Bonnie on the phone.
And then her phone cut out.
Yeah, I spoke to Bonnie.
Her line was terrible.
- Milk and sugar?
- Yes.
Luckily Piper managed to find
out where the wedding list was.
I can't take care of the cafe
and do all of that on my own.
You won't be on your own.
Look, help has arrived.
Bonnie told us all about those
celebrity weddings.
So we'll just let Amelia
guide us. OK?
Oh, I... I only do flowers,
Mrs Poppy.
But you were in
'Coast to Country' magazine.
I know because Bonnie told us.
Oh, that's so lovely
but that was about the company
that wasn't about me.
But Bonnie said you are the 'it'
flower girl of Chicago,
so you're perfect to help
with the wedding.
Besides, you won't be
on your own.
Between our chores at the inn
we can all help
and Grayson will too.
Grayson Tanner, the best man.
Well, I'll try my best.
I can help. Whatever you need.
Biscuits, macaroons, cake.
Especially cake.
Mainly cake.
Just cake.
Piper works in our little cafe.
And she's making Bonnie and
Jake's wedding cake too.
Bonnie taught me everything
I know.
Bonnie's the best.
Well, what's first on the list?
Wedding rings.
Got it... Check.
See, everything's under control.
And, then... cake tasting.
Gosh, this place is just...
it's so beautiful.
And the detail.
I mean, look.
Ah...
is there a bathroom
I can go freshen up in?
Oh, certainly, love.
Let's show you to the cottage
On the very likelihood
that your luggage
has gone on an adventure...
I've taken the liberty of
putting some of Bonnie's clothes
on the bed for you.
I think you're about
the same size.
Yeah, just about I think.
Oh, as for the cake tasting,
as I recall,
Jake doesn't like coconut.
Oh, not a bit.
And Bonnie doesn't like
chocolate
so I'll mention to Grayson,
no coconut and no chocolate.
Your early arrival is
serendipitous my darling.
- Thank you.
- Welcome to Daisy Cottage.
I've always thought there was
something very romantic
about the humble daisy.
You know, I always thought
daisies were weeds.
Weeds are just flowers
who refuse to grow in rows.
You're quite the romantic,
Mr Poppy.
He's a gardener, he has to be.
Now, you make yourself at home,
love.
Let us know if you want
anything.
- Thank you.
- See you a bit later.
Come on.
Please
leave a message after the tone.
Hi Peter, I'm here in one piece.
I am staying at the most
gorgeous inn
and the owners have
these amazing flowers that...
ones that I've never heard of
before.
Such a mess.
Come on, Bonnie.
Don't you have anything less...
Bohemian.
Hi, you must be Grayson Tanner.
Amelia, lovely to meet you.
Are those the wedding bands?
Yeah.
Flew in from Chicago, right?
Ah...
I'm sorry, but have we met
before?
I'm not sure.
Wait, were you at
Kimberly Watson's pool party?
OK.
You know, she didn't even have
a pool.
I obviously made a fool
of myself.
Yes, you have.
I apologise. It was a really
crazy long flight.
I appreciate the apology.
- I'll consider it.
- You have to accept an apology.
No, I don't.
- Well, I think you should.
- No.
Well, then I take my apology
back.
You can't.
You already gave it to me.
- Piper!
- Good afternoon, kiddo.
Right, let's get this
over and done with.
Good afternoon, and welcome to
the Hummingbird Cafe,
where we will create
the cake of your dream.
Piper, you don't have to give us
the whole sales pitch.
OK.
These score sheets will help you
find the perfect cake.
You rank each cake based on
flavour, texture, and so on.
Have a look and I'll bring back
some delicious samples.
Is all this really necessary?
I mean, we're not trying to
create something
overly complicated.
Well, I think it's a wonderful
idea.
What a great way for couples
to choose a cake.
Yes, but we're not a couple
choosing a cake.
We are representing a couple
choosing the cake.
Why don't we just decide on one
now and be done with it?
What did you have in mind?
What about... that one?
No.
What's wrong with that one?
It's a children's birthday cake
in the shape of a tractor.
I hope your taste buds
are ready for an adventure!
A tractor.
Mmm... mmm... Is this coconut?
Coconut cakes were huge
in the early 2000s.
I bet they're making a comeback.
Cake flavours do not
come in and out of trend.
I've provided more flowers to
more weddings and I can count.
Trust me, there is a trend
for everything.
Do you want to know what's
on trend for cakes right now?
- No, I do not.
- Earl Grey tea.
I don't believe you.
Hey Piper, made any
tea flavoured cakes recently?
Earl Grey, jasmine or matcha?
This is a perfect
chocolate cake.
Right. Piper, we've made
a decision.
- Chocolate.
- Wonderful.
Always a crowd-pleaser.
But we can't have chocolate.
You just said you liked it.
I did. I do, but Bonnie doesn't
like chocolate.
- Who doesn't like chocolate?
- Bonnie.
I really think Jake would like
the chocolate.
Well, I think Bonnie
would really like the coconut.
Jake doesn't like coconut.
Well, Bonnie doesn't like
chocolate
and you're happy to go with
that.
Fine. Piper, we'll go with
a coconut cake
with chocolate frosting.
Ah...
So, Bonnie has to scrape off
the frosting
and all Jake gets is frosting?
That makes no sense.
Could I make a suggestion?
I'm supposed to give
real couples time to chat
between themselves,
but I think in this situation
maybe that would be a mistake.
Perhaps you should get
the opinion of two people
who are less invested
than yourselves?
Like the bride and groom.
I can't plan a wedding with her,
Jake.
It's only been 20 minutes,
Grayson.
Come on, mate,
give her a chance.
I did give her a chance.
I gave her a chance
to be friendly
and she accused me
of being a thief.
Then I gave her a chance
to like cake
and she picks one made of tea.
Tea, Jake.
Grayson and I
have different attitudes
when it comes to making
decisions.
How do you mean?
He likes to make impulsive,
bad decisions
while I like to make thoughtful,
good decisions.
I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
What I mean to say is that
I like to consider things
while he makes snap judgments.
She's going to turn this wedding
into some city girl,
Instagram Pinterest wedding.
What's a Pinterest wedding?
He's going to turn this wedding
into a 10-year-old's
birthday party.
I'm sure he won't...
with you there to help.
Well, that's why I made you
my best man.
There's nobody else I'd trust
with my wedding.
I am so sorry for all of this,
Amelia.
There you are with all that
stress, and here I am.
No, it's OK, Bon.
I mean, I've had to deal with
high maintenance brides
and grooms, I think I can handle
a rogue best man.
I've got your back, Jake.
OK, the wedding will be great.
Ready for round two?
Let's do it.
I think I need new cue cards.
OK.
So we scored the 4 out of 5
for the citrus
and a 1 out of 5
for the coffee cake.
No, to coffee cake.
Hey, would you look at that?
We scored a 5 out of 5
for the rose buttercream.
Congratulations, Mr Tanner.
I do believe we have made
a decision.
Thank goodness.
Great!
I should be getting back.
Oh, did you want to meet
tomorrow considering
that we're on a tight schedule?
Sure.
Let's meet here at say 10:00am?
Perfect.
And if things don't get
any crazier,
we might be able to just
pull this off.
Stranger things have happened.
I'll see you tomorrow.
OK.
I love to walk here
in the mornings
to clear my mind.
I feel like I'm walking
into an enchanted garden
with all these inspiring flowers
glistening against the lake.
It's like a Monet painting.
Oh, Amelia.
It's so wonderful having
an artist-in-residence again.
- Oh, I am not an artist.
- Nonsense.
Your arrangements
are creations, aren't they?
Your bouquets represent the most
complex human emotion of all -
love.
So that makes you an artist,
doesn't it?
Well, our clients
are more focused on
show-stopping arrangements
that appear in magazines
than love.
The grim realities of
the hustle.
Something like that.
But I'm up for a major contract
supplying flowers
for the corporate offices
in the financial district.
Won't you miss working with
people?
Bonnie told me all about
your mother's flower shop.
It sounded like you were
following in her footsteps.
My mum...
she was...
she was something special.
How so?
When you bought flowers
from her store,
you were taking part of
something special.
She would... she would give
a piece of her heart to you
and in return,
you would do the same.
I just don't deal with clients
that much,
so I don't know how to do that.
Sounds like you just need to
have the right environment
to bloom.
Wait, do I smell coffee?
You Americans and your coffee.
Mmm.
Liquid gold.
So where's the surgeon?
Um... what?
Mrs Poppy mentioned
that your boyfriend
was some big city surgeon
and that he'd be joining you.
He wanted to come,
but he was just so busy.
He's about to become...
Come this way.
The chief of medicine.
Well, just as well
you're spoken for
or Mrs Poppy would have tried
to fix you up.
You'd be engaged
before the end of the week
and we'd be planning two
weddings!
He's right.
I'm known as somewhat
of a matchmaker
around Primrose River.
- I set up Bonnie and Jake.
- Oh.
So that just leaves you,
Grayson.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I've only got room in my heart
for one lady
and stopping her from eating
your roses keeps me busy enough.
Oh, he's talking about
a mini goat.
Oh.
Now, we just have six days
until the wedding.
And we still don't have
a bride and groom in sight.
Right. Right. OK.
Well, we have wedding bands.
Check. Cake tasting, check.
And now we just have to choose
entertainment.
Select table settings,
flowers, my domain,
and the last thing on the list
is a final dress fitting,
but I'm sure we'll have
the bride and groom for that.
It's a plan.
Yes.
I thought they already had
a band.
They did but they fell through
so we have to choose from one of
their favourite performers.
So whoever has the most votes
wins.
Easy peasy.
What could go wrong?
Bravo!
I loved it!
- Come on up.
- Oh no, no.
Oh no.
Si senor.
I'll give it a whirl.
Bravissimi! Well played!
Oh, that was so beautiful!
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
You know, I thought
this would be a lot harder
but this is a really easy
decision.
Agreed.
I mean, it's obvious, isn't it?
Clear as the sky
on a spring day.
So we had the Flamenco Fanfare,
the Bluebottle Bill
and his banjo,
and, the undeniably talented,
Champagne Trio.
So we're all in agreement?
Bluebottle Bill's a legend.
Don't you want everybody
up and dancing?
Yeah, but Bonnie and Jake need
something romantic to dance to.
Their first dance can't be
the Bullfrog Hayride.
Why not? It's a great song.
Really
I'm kidding.
Look, OK, Flamenco Fanfare
were great
but they're not exactly
Bonnie and Jake either.
Yeah, sorry Mrs Poppy.
Their loss.
I just think the classical
musical selection is a bit...
Beautiful, elegant, amazing?
Stuffy.
This isn't the foyer
of a fancy hotel.
Ah!
Sorry, am I late? Is the place
for the wedding audition?
This is Summer Kingsley.
She babysits
for the Brown family.
She also came third
in the swimming tournament
last year didn't you?
Second actually.
Summer is our resident songbird.
She sings in the garden
every Christmas.
Um...
I'm generally very supportive
of young people
but, you know,
it's my sister's wedding
and do you think she's
a little...
Inexperienced?
Summer, have you played
for a live audience before?
I sing at the festival
at Christmas.
There's usually like...
15 people there.
See, 15 people.
Bona fide professional!
When you're ready, darling.
Daylight fades in the sunsets
with you
I'll be everything
you want me to
Oh I know my heart changed
when we met
Oh I know the best
is to come yet
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
So make the most of a life
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that I want
you to be mine
Now and forever.
Congratulations Summer.
What are you doing on Saturday?
Wait, I got the gig?
You sure did.
Oh. Thank you so much.
Congratulations, honey.
Congratulations, honey.
Right, what's on the docket
today, then?
Greatest thing in the whole wide
world...
flowers.
Flowers are next, Grayson.
You know, I can probably take it
from here
if you have someplace else you
need to be?
I'm committed to
my best man duties.
I promise, I won't interrupt.
I'll hold you to that.
Oh, Amelia. Wonderful.
How did your auditions go
yesterday?
Did you make your decision?
Mrs Poppy found us
a wonderful musician.
She's a magical woman my wife.
I've known you two
since I was a boy
and I swear you fall
more in love every day.
Have you met her?
Who wouldn't?
Are these heat-resistant roses?
Certainly are.
How did you get them
so voluptuous?
I have a foolproof
aphid deterrent -
marigolds.
Aphids don't like marigolds?
Aphids don't like ladybirds
and ladybirds love marigolds.
The beetles make their way
to their rose neighbours...
like a round-the-clock
security system,
keeping those pesky aphids away.
That's how the roses
get so full.
They help each other grow.
Camellias. They are the most
perfect flower.
Don't you think so, Grayson?
Oh... Yeah, I guess so.
Amelia, my garden holds
the National Camellia
Reference Collection.
Would you like to help me plant
some of these seedlings into it?
Yes! Yes, I would.
You sleep...
and we'll see you soon.
Whenever you're ready.
Take your time.
Mr Poppy, did you did you do
all this yourself?
I've had some assistance
over the years.
Ha! He's being incredibly
humble.
Mr Poppy's been working on
these gardens
for as long as I can remember.
It has been a labour of love.
What's...
What's that over there?
Oh, that.
I've had some ideas.
A barn store perhaps
where people could purchase
flowers and produce
from the gardens.
Looks like it could be
something special.
- With a little bit of paint.
- And a new roof.
A true garden is never finished.
As the wise, Audrey Hepburn
once said,
"To plant a garden
is to believe in tomorrow."
So what are you gonna do
with it now?
I don't know.
Perhaps tomorrow will tell me.
- What is so funny?
- Nothing.
Just a side of you
I didn't expect.
What? A flower nerd?
Is that even a thing?
I think it is. I like it.
You're like a completely
different person.
Well, I obviously made
a great first impression on you.
That's not what I meant.
Just mean you see more relaxed.
Less worried about
colour palettes.
Camellias are my favourite
flower.
They're special to me.
Special how?
They were my mum's
favourite flower.
She passed away from cancer
when we were both young.
I'm sorry.
She loved them so much.
She used to say that she named
her daughter after them.
Amelia is short for Camellia.
Is that a little cliche to be
a florist named after a flower?
Not at all.
I'm a vet named after a horse.
- No?
- Yeah.
My father's favourite horse
was called Grayson.
He was a stunning stallion.
People came from miles around
just to see him.
- He was famous.
- Is that true?
No, I just didn't want to make
you feel bad.
These are the blooms Mr Poppy
is cultivating for the wedding.
I like the yellow ones.
You promised to be quiet.
I'll stand here in silence
being quietly supportive.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm just not...
Flowers aren't just about
being pretty,
they each have
a discernible voice
when they say something.
I know it sounds crazy, but
flowers have whole language.
For instance, it's Mother's Day,
what kind of flowers
do you get your mum?
I don't know... carnations?
The...
sunflowery ones,
the big daisies.
- Gerberas.
- Yeah.
OK, well, why not red roses?
Because they're romantic.
Well, why?
What is it about the red rose
that says,
"I think about you
all the time."
"I care about you."
"I desire you."
"You alone
above all the others."
I don't know.
Because I just don't know
what...
this bouquet says...
is all.
Are you OK?
Most likely.
It's just a minor procedure.
Just one problem.
My assistant is stuck on
a mountain with his fiance.
Can I help?
Come on, let's go.
Hey there little guy.
You're safe now. You're safe.
Hey, there's some formula,
can you just mix some in
a bottle?
Oh yeah, sure.
I know you're hungry,
she's getting you some.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi little guy.
Here you go. Here you go.
Whenever you're ready.
Come on, you can do it.
Look. Look. Look, look, look.
Aren't you beautiful?
So cute.
Is he gonna be OK?
He will.
Probably just got separated
from his mama.
Does that happen a lot?
Sometimes.
Nature can be tough.
But so is he.
He looks healthy.
There's no reason
he shouldn't be released
once he's big enough
to take care of himself.
He's cosy now.
Not as cosy as his mother's
pouch, but still pretty good.
I can see why you spend
so much time here.
What makes you say that?
First of all, why would you ever
want to leave?
And secondly, I saw your
toothbrush in the bathroom.
Guilty.
Yeah, this job isn't always
9 to 5.
I was actually offered head vet
position at the City Zoo
on the promise of better hours.
Would you leave Primrose River?
Oh, not a chance.
- Must be tiring.
- Sometimes.
But you make time for the things
you care about.
So I guess I'll see you tomorrow
to figure out the seating plan?
It's a date.
No, it's not.
It is when I will see you next.
Thanks again for helping me,
Amelia.
Happy to help.
- Good night.
- Bye.
Amelia, we were starting
to get worried.
We're just going down
to the bottom of the garden
to watch the fireflies,
would you like to join us?
Oh, that sounds so lovely, but
I think I'm going to turn in.
OK, that's fine.
- OK. Good night.
- Sleep well.
Thank you. You too.
Amelia, good morning.
Good morning.
I'm just off to work on
some flower designs.
I should have something soon.
When you're ready.
Is there something else
I can help you with?
Now that you ask, actually,
I was hoping you might be able
to help an old man impress
a certain someone?
I would love to.
How can I help?
It's my wedding anniversary.
I think this place
is just crying out
for some laughter again,
don't you think?
Some children running through
over there,
a couple taking a moment
to themselves just over there.
These Gardens will be busy with
guests again one day, Mrs P.
I have a good feeling about it.
I know the world
would love this place.
I just don't know
how to get the word out.
- Mmm.
- Thank you.
Mm-mm! What do you call these
delicate little treats?
Honey blossoms.
I made them with honey
from your beehives.
Mr Poppy makes joy for the eyes.
Piper you make joy
for the taste buds.
Delilah, you make everyone feel
at home.
I wish I could just package
this place up
and sell it
in little brown paper bags
to everyone in Chicago.
Oh, that's so sweet.
You know, that dress
really suits you.
Thank you. I really hope
Bonnie doesn't mind.
Well, I'm sure he doesn't.
Now, tell me about Peter.
Who?
My boyfriend. He's a surgeon...
I just tried calling him
this morning,
but I must have missed him.
He's been really busy.
No, I mean tell me about him.
What is it you love about
this man?
How did you know Mr Poppy
was the one for you, Mrs P?
Because when I was with him,
he made me feel truly seen.
He loves all of me
just the way I am.
And I can be a lot!
When the seeds of love
are sown into your heart...
It's you who blossoms.
Your mother was certainly right
about that.
Morning.
Hope you're ready to work out
which one of your uncles
will get along best
with Jake's football buddies!
- I'm sorry?
- It's 10 o'clock.
We're supposed to help Mrs Poppy
with the seating plan.
Oh, it's ten o'clock already.
Um...
Wow.
You're really talented.
No, I don't feel talented.
- Out with it.
- Out with what?
I may not speak florist,
but I do speak miserable.
It's how I diagnosed a koala
with a salt deficiency.
You're upset. What's wrong?
I got a bad review.
Oh, no, not you?
You've done over 65 weddings!
So what's one bad review?
I'm sure you've got hundreds
of brilliant reviews
to make up for it.
One bad review from August Ivy
from Coast to Country magazine
is like a hundred bad reviews
from everyone else.
Well, what did she say?
'He' said that he thinks
I lost my touch...
and I think he might be right.
- Right, I know we need to do.
- What?
We're getting you out of here.
Well, what about
the seating arrangement?
Mrs Poppy is more than capable
of doing the seating plan.
- Ah...
- You're right.
She'll have everyone playing
musical chairs all night.
OK.
Extended family,
high school friends,
footy buddies,
college friends...
miscellaneous.
Let's go.
Huh.
Oh, they've sorted it
the darlings.
Good.
Ooh.
I don't see how this
is helping my problem?
Sometimes,
the best way to find an answer
is to stop looking
so hard for it.
- Thanks Grayson.
- OK. Bye.
Come on buddy.
This is a kangaroo paw.
See, looks just like
a kangaroo's foot.
Native to Australia.
It's so calm.
This is where Primrose River
meets the sea.
Starts as a trickle
in the mountains
and works its way over the hills
and valleys
to pour out into the ocean.
Gives me that sense of...
Coming home.
Yeah, something like that.
You've worked on
lots of weddings,
what do you think the recipe is
for couples who make it?
I guess they seem
just so easy with each other.
And they make each other laugh,
and it's effortless
like they don't even know
they're doing it.
Peter's a lucky guy.
He is. We are very lucky.
Thanks.
All of my plans fell through
Living my life with you
Bring me home my love
Bring me all the way home
Bring me home my love...
Oh.
Amelia!
A piece of your luggage arrived,
but it's not your clothes
I'm afraid.
No, it's a brown box.
Oh, thank you.
You know I've always preferred
daisies over roses don't you?
I know.
- Hello, Peter speaking.
- Peter, hi!
- Amelia, do you mind holding?
- No, no. I'll hold.
- Amelia?
- Hi Peter.
- Is something wrong?
- No. No, nothing's wrong.
You know, I learned something
today about rose bushes.
Yeah?
- So if you plant marigolds...
- Yeah.
Next to the rose bushes,
the ladybugs on the marigolds...
- Right.
- will eat the bugs
that try to attack
the rose bushes.
Huh.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say
is,
do you think
that we're growing together?
Amelia, you sound half asleep.
No, I'm not half asleep.
I have a surgery.
Can we talk later?
OK, yeah, when are you free?
Tomorrow is good.
OK, yeah,
I'll call you tomorrow.
- OK.
- Great. Talk then.
Bye.
Marigolds.
Rose bushes.
It's you that blossoms.
Mrs McKenzie's eyesight
has gotten much worse
she can barely
read the specials sign.
Order more gardenias.
Kate just had her heart broken.
Sunflowers for warm,
fuzzy heart mend.
Is still limping from his
wrestling match with crownfish.
Gloria's twisted...
Oh, Mum.
Oh, Mum.
Grayson!
Grayson?
Grayson, I know how she did it.
Don't tell me,
I haven't watched it yet.
What?
Whatever murder-mystery
you're talking about.
No. No, my mum.
Look, she wrote all these
observation and notes
about people.
So Mrs McKenzie's eyesight
has gotten much worse
she could barely read
the specials sign.
Order more gardenias.
Gardenias are an incredibly
fragrant flower
and she was reminding herself
to focus on smell
and not colour and that...
Here's another one.
Dr Wilson uses his order
to decorate his waiting room.
No lilies, more bulbs.
Lilies they irritate the sinuses
and she wanted
more cheerful blooms
like tulips and daffodils.
It wasn't magic, Grayson,
she just... she just listened.
Wow! That is a beautiful horse.
Mercedes is special.
I would love to spend
more time here,
but I gotta go,
I'm too inspired.
I know she's beautiful, Lauren.
I have eyes.
'Cause she has a boyfriend.
Award-winning doctor boyfriend
who's probably going to propose.
I mean, most handsome doctor
award probably.
I don't know.
Lauren, we've spoken about this.
You know what, Lauren?
Good idea.
Remember the first dance
should be about love.
And above all...
passion.
Remind me, why do we need to
learn the first dance?
Because Enrique is booked
for months...
we need Bonnie and Jake
to learn the steps.
It is a tragedy.
But at least you and I
have done this before.
We'll have to lead this
uncoordinated butterfly.
I am...
not an uncoordinated butterfly!
My child, you have the grace
of a newborn giraffe
blinking in the sun
and tripping over its own neck.
You know it was not too long ago
that Grayson stumbled into
my dance class
and now he moves like a panther!
Slinking across the savannah!
Hm?
Alright, enough talk.
Let's dance.
What is that ringing?
Oh. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.
Peter, hi.
- Amelia, how are you?
- Yeah, no I'm...
Great, yeah. No, I'm just in
the middle of something.
OK. You sound busy.
Yeah. Can I...
Can I call you later?
- OK.
- OK.
- I miss you.
- I miss you too.
- Talk soon.
- OK. Bye.
Bye.
No more distractions.
No more distractions.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Yes, sir.
You OK, you seem a little tense?
Just feeling the music.
Very good, Grayson.
Very good Grayson!
Whoo!
And then when it's time
for the wedding,
you two will be more than ready.
- Oh.
- We aren't...
Amelia's got a boyfriend
back in Chicago. So...
Boyfriend.
Yeah.
I... He's great.
We're just friends.
Amigos.
Yeah.
Amigos.
Oh Tom, your garden.
Oh!
Thank you, Amelia.
Delilah, I've known you
for 45 wonderful years.
As a gardener I've been
lucky enough to know the joy
of when a rare flower decides to
make a home in your garden.
You are as rare and as wonderful
as any flower.
It would be my honour
if you would join me
in renewing our vows.
Oh Tom!
I would love to.
Thank you so much Grayson
for your help.
You know...
beneath that tough Australian
country boy exterior,
yeah, there's a bit of
a romantic.
I like a bit of romance
every now and then.
Oh, really?
Yes, sometimes I even put
rose petals in my bathtub
just for fun.
Oh.
Sounds delightful.
I was actually engaged once.
We had the wedding
all planned out.
Everything was ready and...
I guess you decided
I wasn't right for her.
Wow, Grayson. I'm so sorry.
After that I just threw myself
into my work,
which isn't hard to do.
I mean the animals
are incredible.
And you know what,
I wouldn't change a thing
because it led me to this moment
and to see that incredible
display of affection
between Mr and Mrs Poppy.
And that was really something,
Amelia.
I hope you remember
how you made those two
incredible people feel.
Especially when you're thinking
about that August Thistle,
or whatever his name was.
Yeah. August Thistle.
You're a bit of a rare flower
yourself, Amelia.
Hi Peter.
Amelia. Nice dress.
Very... rustic.
You don't like it?
I do. It's just different
that's all.
How are things down under?
You sounded, well,
crazy the other day.
Peter, there's something
I need to talk to you about.
I know what you're going to say.
You do?
I think it might be
what you're trying to tell me
with the ladybug story.
I mean, it's strange, right?
That... that we're both planners,
and we've never even talked
about our future.
Yes, and I agree with you.
- You do?
- We should get married.
As soon as I become
chief of medicine.
That's not what I meant.
It's not?
Peter, we haven't spoken in days
and... and I just don't feel...
Feel... what?
Are you excited when you see
my name appear on your phone?
Amelia, you're just getting
swept up in old-fashioned ideas
of romance.
It's not like it is
in the movies,
people don't surprise each other
with flowers.
Or romantic dates or...
Dancing under the stars
or watching long sunsets.
Exactly.
Peter, if we were meant to be
together, it...
it shouldn't be this hard.
I mean, I know it shouldn't be
a fairytale either,
but I do think
it should come naturally.
And maybe I am getting swept
away but you know the nice thing
about getting swept away is
that it just kind of happens.
If you want me to buy you some
flowers and light some candles
we can put a date in the diary
for some romance.
I think we need more than a date
on a calendar for romance.
I just don't think we're growing
together anymore.
Peter, you are the most
clear minded, ambitious man
that I have ever met.
You're one of the most
thoughtful intelligent women
I've ever met.
I'm sorry, I can't give you
what you need.
Me too. I'm sorry too.
Maybe we're just better off
as friends?
I'd like that - maybe not
right away, but one day.
Paging Dr Peter McKenna.
Well, duty calls.
Bye, Amelia.
Bye, Peter.
Thinking of you.
Piper, how did you know?
Hi.
That woman should work
for the FBI.
You're very quiet today, Grayson
Usually you're telling me off
for something.
I'm busy pretending I know
anything about fixing cars.
I've also been busy planning
your son's wedding.
Any word from them?
Still waiting for a flight
I'm afraid.
You're sure you haven't been
distracted
by a certain charming florist.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
So you do not have feelings
for Amelia.
Nope, no feelings other than
normal people feelings.
Then you won't be interested
to know
she and her doctor boyfriend
have broken up.
There you go.
She'll run like a dream now.
When? How?
Did she say anything else?
I thought you had...
how did you put it?
Normal people feelings for
Amelia or whatever that means.
Mr Poppy, please.
Grayson, I think it would be
a very wonderful thing
if you finally,
truly let someone in.
All that I wanted
All that I needed
All of my dreams
can come true
Nothing seems impossible
Now that I have
what I have with you
It's born out of love
and it's born out of giving
And strengthened by trust
It's a bond that's unspoken
That'll never be broken
Never be lost...
You know, I haven't seen him
this happy in a long time.
Who?
You think I came down
in the last rain shower?
Grayson.
He's not had a smile on his face
since his fiance left him
at the altar.
He was left at the altar?
Took a long time to bounce back
from something like that,
but he did and now you are here
and I've never seen him
so happy.
Amelia, what's wrong?
I've never been so happy,
Mr Poppy.
I feel like myself
if that makes any sense,
but I've built my entire life
in Chicago,
so I can't just abandon it all.
Amelia, do you see this flower?
Yes.
Do you know how many hours
and weeks and years
I've spent cultivating it
to grow it in my garden
to get the perfect
spring yellow?
It's your life's work.
I did not grow this flower,
it grew itself.
I did not plant the seeds
or crossbreed it
with another plant.
I just walked into my garden
one day and there it was,
bright as the sun
and just as audacious.
It just grew on its own?
Love will grow wherever it finds
somewhere to thrive.
All you have to decide
is whether to nurture it.
More cake?
I've become Piper's official
taste tester.
I can't eat any more cake.
Just, please, help yourself.
Sticking to your one colour
palette, I see?
I'm looking for the delicate
nature of the dahlia,
the beauty of the aster...
Baby's breath is so pure,
but it's...
I have to take this.
Busy, busy.
Hello, Amelia speaking.
Amelia, Tom Hooper
from the Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, Mr Hooper.
Yes, of course I remember
the President of
the Business Association.
I'm calling to offer you
the contract. Congratulations.
That's amazing news.
I thought you'd be
a little more excited?
No. No. No. I'm very happy.
I can be back in Chicago
as soon as the wedding's over.
Fantastic. We're excited
to have you on board.
Thank you.
Yes, I'm very excited too.
Wonderful.
Well, have a safe trip
and we'll see you soon.
Thank you. Thank you.
OK, I'll talk to you soon.
Now... where were we?
Grayson?
So this...
It really is so very lucky that
you're the same size as Bonnie.
Very.
Well, are you gonna come out
soon?
Is that really necessary?
Yes it is.
If I have to then you...
have to.
Thank you.
Come on. Come on.
Oh, they look stunning.
Amelia...
Yes, Grayson?
Wahey hey hey!
We made it!
Don't let the groom
see the dress!
Don't let the groom
see the dress!
Bonnie and Jake, you made it!
Look at this!
Looking sharp mate!
Amelia, did we scare you?
Hi darling.
Oh, I'm just so glad
you're here.
Oh, me too.
Now, get out of that dress
so I can get into it.
Come here.
Help me out of this.
You look so beautiful.
Finally, Bonnie and I
would like to thank everyone
for making it to our
rehearsal dinner, including us.
Oh and a very, very, very big
thank you to Amelia and Grayson.
Without them none of this would
have happened.
They have saved our wedding
and our deposit.
To Mum and Dad...
I'm the man I am today
because of you.
You took me in
and you raised me as your own
and I will forever be grateful.
I love you guys.
Oh darling.
OK, that's enough of that.
And the toast.
Let us be grateful to the people
that make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners
that make our souls blossom.
They make our souls blossom.
Cheers guys.
Mm, yeah.
I can't believe you almost
missed your own wedding.
We had things under control.
Sorta.
Typical Bon.
You good?
I'm so good.
There's something different
about you.
You're... I don't know, like...
you look really happy.
No, I just I feel like I have
this like new creative energy
or it's this place.
Mr and Mrs Poppy. I...
I mean, this country town that
you were talking about it's...
well, I do have one very
important question for you.
Am I ever getting my clothes
back?
No. But I will let you
borrow them.
Oh, thank you so much.
You're getting married!
- I missed you.
- Oh my god.
Good morning.
- I'm getting married today.
- OK, calm.
What do you reckon Mercedes?
Do I pass muster or...
Do not put horse hair
on that coat!
What are you both doing here?
I told you, I'd take care of
everything here today.
Amelia delivered
our button-holes.
He didn't want to put them on
without you.
Feeling good.
Terrified, but really good.
I can see that.
Bonnie, she just makes, my gosh,
every day amazing, you know?
She's my sunrise, my sunset
she's my next breath
and I don't know if that's corny
or romantic,
but that's what I'm sticking to.
Jake, that's about as romantic
as it gets.
- Yeah?
- Jake it's time.
Oh, OK. Goodness.
You should tell her, you know.
- Tell who, what?
- Amelia.
I don't...
Grayson, I've known you
a long time.
Something magical is happening
for you.
Something you didn't expect
or ask for.
Let it.
How do I know she feels the same
way about me?
Gentlemen.
Amelia has really outdone
herself.
Just look at the beautiful
colour she chose.
Daylight fades
and the sun sets with you
The stars are out shining
down on the view
I'll be everything
you want me too
Standing under the arbour
just two...
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm Grayson Tanner
and I have the privilege
of being Jake's best man,
his best vet,
and his best friend,
and I won't hold
you from your celebrations,
but I would be remiss if I
didn't take this opportunity
to toast to the bride and groom.
I work with animals, which means
I don't have to talk very much
so I'll ask for your forgiveness
in advance.
I have not always understood
what love is.
In fact, sometimes
I think I still don't.
And I'm beginning to wonder
if that's because
love is everywhere.
It is our friends.
Our family.
Our passions, our work,
our values.
And sometimes some of us
are lucky enough to meet someone
when their very soul seems to
embody all of these things.
Love is very much like the
flowers in Mr Poppy's gardens.
They start from a seed
without anyone asking them to,
and, with the right amount
of care,
bloom into something beautiful,
that wasn't there before.
I'm beginning to wonder if
what's so difficult
to understanding love
is in marrying
two very different ideas -
something so profoundly rare,
complex and wonderful
is asking something so
overwhelmingly simple of us.
To just let it in.
To Bonnie and Jake.
Two people who make love
look easy.
May the sun shine down on,
may you have just enough rain
to grow
and may your roots grow
stronger with every season.
To Bonnie and Jake.
To Bonnie and Jake.
Oh, who did the flowers?
Oh, Amelia's in Bloom.
Oh.
We did good.
You did good.
This is all you Amelia.
Oh, I don't know about that.
We make a pretty amazing team.
- Amelia...
- Grayson.
- You go.
- No, no. Ladies first.
I insist.
Amelia...
this last week has been amazing.
And I know it sounds crazy,
but...
you mean a lot to me.
You mean a lot to me, too.
But what...
How do you see this working?
My whole life is in Chicago.
Perhaps I could...
Leave all your animals and go
live in a concrete jungle?
Come on, you would hate that,
and I wouldn't let you do that.
Besides, I have a contract
that I have to...
Of course.
I wouldn't expect you to.
Um... so what is it?
This exciting new project
back in Chicago?
It's a corporate contract for
applying flowers to businesses.
Like lobbies and waiting rooms
and veterinary clinics.
Doesn't sound very creative.
It's secure, and it's reliable.
And safe. I understand.
But right now, you don't sound
like the same woman
who just spent all afternoon
creating a whole field
of daisies,
or used a secret flower language
to do all of this.
I didn't do this.
Everyone else did.
Love did. I'm not my mother.
So when do you leave?
I have to be back Monday, so...
- Grayson...
- Amelia.
I didn't know your mother.
OK, but I do know you.
And you are more extraordinary
than you give yourself
credit for.
Don't look at me like that,
Lauren.
Of course I'll come back
and visit.
I'm taking a new job,
not moving to the Moon.
Now, you have to stay here
and take care of Jake.
Besides, the zoo doesn't exactly
have a goat exhibit.
Grayse?
What on Earth is this?
You decide to take a job
five hours away
and you tell me in a letter.
I mean, nice handwriting, by the
way, but who writes letters
these days anyway,
I saw you yesterday.
I didn't want to cause any drama
the day after your wedding.
Oh, so you thought that
leaving a note
and disappearing without a word
was the least dramatic option?
You don't understand, Jake,
I need a fresh start.
This is about Amelia, isn't it?
- You love her?
- No.
You do, it's written
all over your face.
Grayson.
She's your soul mate.
- I can't alright?
- Grayson. Gray...
- Beautiful last day.
- Yeah.
- Do you have to leave tomorrow?
- I do.
I'm gonna miss this place.
Well, then, let's make sure
we enjoy today.
What on Earth?
Can you believe it?
It's been like this since 8am.
And it's all because of you.
Look...
Amelia in Bloom is trending
everywhere on social media.
- What?
- Yeah.
Oh that's my sister!
I knew people would see you.
Excuse me.
- Amelia...
- Mr Poppy.
You must speak, flower,
for you've enchanted my garden
with life!
We're a sensation!
I don't know what to say.
Amelia, this is all happening
because of you.
Look around.
You always did have that special
thing.
You were always just...
a little bit magic.
Just like Mum.
You could have a store in
Primrose like your mother's.
Just like that?
Yeah, Mum, he was adamant.
I don't know.
Jake have you seen Grayson?
Ah, he's gone to the city.
Whatever for?
He decided to take that job
at City Zoo.
Said he needed a fresh start.
No. No, he can't.
Why?
Because...
because...
Yes?
Because I love him!
Jake, how long have we got
before Grayson
gets to the train?
Ah... he just left, so it will
take him at least 15 minutes
in that old truck of his
You'd never make it.
You'd have to cut across
the paddock,
and you'd still need a stallion
to beat him there.
Mercedes!
I don't have a Mercedes.
Huh?
Oh, Mercedes.
Let's go get him.
Come on, Mercedes.
Ya!
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid...
Come on.
Just be brave...
Whoa boy.
Grayson.
Amelia, what on Earth?
Mr Poppy, offered me the chance
to open up my own store
and I said, yes,
and the one person that I wanted
to share it with wasn't with me.
My mum used to say
when the seeds of love are sown
into your heart,
it's you who blossoms.
And I always thought that that
was some silly thing
that gardeners said.
Amelia...
Just let me get this out
or I'm never going to be able to
say this again.
I'm a better person
for coming to Primrose River
and I've never been happier
in my entire life
and I want to be able to
share that with you.
And I want to ride bikes
with you,
and I want to eat cake with you,
and I want to laugh with you,
and I want to be with you
and grow old with you.
What?
Amelia...
I've never...
I've never felt this way about
anyone and yet here you are
accusing me of being a thief,
digging up flower beds,
turning flowers into poetry,
chasing me down on a horse.
Amelia...
you are infuriating.
You are the most incredible,
brave, wonderful woman
I've ever met...
and I am so in love with you.
Daylight fades
and the sun sets with you
The stars are out shining
down on the view
I'll be everything
you want me to
Standing under the arbour
just two
Oh I know my life changed
when we met
Oh I know the best
is to come yet
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
Let's make the most
of our lives
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that I want
you to be mine now and forever
We dance in a candlelit room
tonight
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
My hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
Hands on your waist
eyes locked on mine
Lips are what follows
our hearts intertwine
I'm never gonna leave you
behind
The only thing escaping us
is time
Let's make the most
of our lives
That won't be hard
with you by my side
And I know that
I want you to be mine
Now and forever.
