Small-scale florists hope to fill gap for romantics in Kununurra

Key points

• Kununurra's only major florist has closed, leaving residents of the remote Western Australian town with few places to buy flowers. Owners Diane and Chris Robinson retired after struggling to find a long-term shop assistant.
• Bianca Brown has started assembling and supplying bouquets alongside her transport business, and says she may scale up next year. Sophie Cooke also lets people pick flowers from her family farm on Saturday mornings during the dry season.
• Perth resident Gerald Contreras says he is eager to use Ms Brown's service to send flowers to his partner in the town.
