Flowers and Honey

Glorified soap opera stars bright-eyed Newbrough as a city slicker botanist who's inherited her family's regional florist business looking for the sweet spot with her bee-keeping neighbour Hank (Roy). Hank's got low self esteem and honey money problems owing his honey pot turning red, which may or may not be caused by Newbrough's hibiscus, much to the annoyance of Hank's protective sister (Cope) who initially regards her new neighbour as a threat to the wholesome rural vibe of their quaint village.

Also featuring is Michaels playing Newbrough's diminutive ex-boyfriend who's moved-on a little fast, and Bowman as a larger than life Oprah Winfrey-type local socialite whose character serves to give Newbrough confidence in her new endeavour.

Everyone's wearing perfectly-pressed gingham and denim, fussing about flower-arranging, making scented candles and falling in love in a no-surprises formula romcom. The dialogue is reasonably witty, and the cast share attractive on-screen chemistry which is easy to watch when viewed with modest expectations.
