Spring is coming!

What you're seeing in this blog post are some of the seasons most beautiful flowers! Spring is the perfect time of the year to indulge yourself in a bouquet of tulips, hyacinth, or daffodils (pictures in order from top to bottom). Unfortunately, we don't get these flowers all year long, but that does mean that once Spring starts creeping in on us we have lots to look forward to. Right after a cold Winter, that's exactly what us flower lovers need!

Let us give you a quick breakdown to make your flower shopping this season nice and easy.

Tulips come in all sorts of colors from pinks and purples to two tones of oranges and reds. There are also a wide variety of types, such as French or Parrot Tulips (both are inarguably stunning). Daffodils come in yellow, orange, and white. And last but not least, Hyacinths, which are one of the best smelling flowers of all time (in my totally justified opinion), come in puples, pinks, and whites! As you can see from just these three flowers highlighted in this post, Spring has so much to offer!

Get over your winter blues, Sunshine, and brighten up your life with a bundle of color :)

Back To The Basics

Admit it. You get an arrangement, love it, and, then, you leave it. This tends to be a common trend, but if you want to care for your bouquet and keep it kickin' for as long as possible we have a few tips for you...


Bad Idea: putting your arrangment near a freezing cold window or right next to a heating unit
Good Idea: putting your arrangment in a warm area to keep 'em comfy, which should be nuetral to both extreme heat or cold


Bad Idea: ignoring your flowers and therefore making them cry
Good Idea: nurturing your flowers! cut the stems as much as you can. once a day is good, or even every other day works. this should instantly cease the tear flow.


Bad Idea: not changing the water. yuck.
Good Idea: changing the water every few days or whenever you notice it looking a bit scummy. keep it clean!


Bad Idea: kicking your flowers and throwing them around.
Good Idea: hugging and maybe giving a smooch or two. even flowers need a little love sometimes.


Bad Idea: starving your arrangment to death
Good Idea: feeding your little guys some tasty flower food whenver you change the water


Bad Idea: not ordering your next arrangement from us. :(
Good Idea: supporting your local flower shop and coming to us with all of your floral needs :)!!!
