Love in Bloom (2022) - full transcript

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.

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 fiancée.

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.

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.

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 fiancée
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.

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!

Come on.

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.
