Our Flower Shops Fused. Now We Share One Greenhouse Until the Orchid Show.

About the story

Petalward is a garden city of climbing roses, canal bridges and glass roofs that catch every sunrise, and its whole life revolves around one leafy lane: Bloom Row, with a fountain of stone lilies in the middle and a flower shop on each side. On the east side stands your shop, Wildstem, three years of wild bouquets, mismatched jars and chalkboard poems for every customer. On the west side stands Voss Conservatory, forty years of perfect orchids, white-tiled benches and a long glass greenhouse that smells of warm earth and rain. The two shops have been feuding since the day you opened. Your cascading peonies versus his single perfect bloom. Your playlist versus his silence. Your chaos versus his catalog. Then, twenty-nine days before the most important flower show in a generation, a spring storm tore through Bloom Row. Lightning cracked the shared brick wall between the shops. Wind and rain smashed both front windows. By morning, the wall was gone, and the only intact growing space left on the whole street was Elias Voss's long glass greenhouse behind the Conservatory. And in twenty-eight days, the City Orchid Show opens in the Grand Pavilion. The florist who wins Best Arrangement will receive a year of city contracts, a medal and enough standing orders to keep a shop alive through every winter. You entered months ago. So did Elias Voss. The show rules say every entry must be grown and finished inside city limits. There is only one greenhouse on Bloom Row still standing. So the city arbiter, who is also your aunt and has a dangerous sense of humor, made a ruling. Until the Orchid Show, Wildstem and Voss Conservatory share the greenhouse. Mornings for him. Afternoons for you. One glass house, two florists, and a painted green line down the middle of the gravel path. Elias Voss, 30, is the grumpy, perfectionist heir of Voss Conservatory, who alphabetizes every petal tray, starts work at 5 a.m. and thinks your bouquets are "loud." Mira Chen, 25, your best friend and delivery cyclist, is thrilled by the arrangement for all the wrong reasons. And Theo Marais, 33, the charming guest judge from the capital botanical gardens, has just arrived to inspect the finalists, with a warm smile and very good taste in rare orchids. Grow five perfect specimen blooms. Win the city's heart. Survive twenty-eight days sharing a greenhouse with the man you swore you'd beat. And find out why someone keeps sabotaging both shops' water lines.
