News — Flower shipping

I recently returned from a trip to the Netherlands where I took a 2 day Hand Tied Flower Bouquet Course at the Boerma Institut, International Flower Design School.

Notice the extraordinary.

In this day and age of texting and emailing, it is easy to forget the power of sending flowers to someone who is ailing or to someone who has lost a loved one.   I often get asked what is the best flower to send to a loved one during times of hardship.  I always recommend the rose, Free Spirit. Free Spirit Rose exudes an ephemeral beauty that mirrors the beauty of life and beyond.  Of course, there are many beautiful flowers to send. White Double Lilies, White Peonies, Yellow Cubana Roses, etc....Spreading beauty, love and compassion through your circle of friends...

Winter is an exciting time in the flower world.  Oriental Lilies , Amaryllis, Hyacinth and Tulips are all in season.  When it is dark and cold outside, it is such a delight to fill the home with bright colors, soft scents (lilies, hyacinth, roses) and lively shapes.  Cultivars Season's Best Subscription is a great way to experience the beauty of the changing seasons.
