Upington is a town founded in 1873 and located in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, on the banks of the Orange River. The town was originally called Olijvenhoutsdrift, due to the abundance of olive wood trees in the area, but later renamed after Sir Thomas Upington, Attorney-General and then Prime Minister of the Cape. It originated as a mission station established in 1871 and run by Reverend Christiaan Schröder. The mission station now houses the town museum, known as the Kalahari Orange Museum. The museum is also the home of a donkey statue, which recognises the enormous contribution that this animal made to the development of the region during the pioneering days of the 19th century.
INTERESTING FACTS
Here at Orange Blossom Florists we grow our own flowers on our organic flower farm. Oreo, our resident piggy, enjoys a lovely life on the farm, and at the same time provides the soil with the best manure for flower growing. There are birds, chameleons, bees, butterflies, and other insects, that contribute to the pollination of the flowers and keep a balanced ecosystem. Our flowers go on a beautiful journey from their days on our organic flower farm, right to your door. Some of our flowers bloom all year round in our flower greenhouse. This ensures the freshest flower delivery to your door throughout the year.
No words can explain the joy and surprise on the face of a recipient when our driver delivers flowers to them. To put such smiles on the faces of people who both receive and send flowers to South Africa and Africa is incredible! Being able to bring such happiness to so many makes this the best job in the world!
