Thank you! You helped to
make my grandmas Christmas special, with the
beautiful double red-dressed poinsettia.
She was so pleased with the customer care and
the freshness of the poinsettia. I will
definitely order again through your florist.
Sincerely,
Kelly
Hello,
First,
I just wanted to tell you
that your website is
fantastic!!! & your flowers
are gorgeous!!
I wish
you much success
I
ordered your beautiful rose
bowl, but realized later
that I didn't leave the
recipient's phone number, as
I'm sure it would help to
have should there be a
problem. They are a
wonderful couple who have
had a very difficult year so
I'm hoping my gift to them
will at least give them a
moment of pleasure & peace.
Again I really enjoyed
viewing your beautiful
flowers & wish you much
success.
Have a wonderful
Christmas!!
Sincerely,
Sheila
I
just wanted to say Thank you
for the beautiful flowers
you sent on my behalf. They
were really beautiful, fresh
and wonderfully presented.
You made someone very happy.
Thanks!
Many
thanks and I would
like express my
compliments
for the best service I have experienced both
dealing with flowers
and on the web.
I
just wished to say thank you
for very professional
service and beautiful
flowers that you delivered
for me on Saturday. I had
two orders and both went
smoothly. I will certainly
recommend you to my friends.
I appreciate the gesture of
your company and thank
you for the excellent
customer service. I will definitely use your
company again in the
future. Take care and I
wish you a good weekend
Thank you -
our friends
were absolutely delighted. "The flowers are
extravagant, fabulous,
big fat roses..." just
some
of the accolades. I'll
definitely use you
again.
Every time I use your
service, and when people admire the bouquet from
, I always enthusiastically tell them about your
website
and how brilliant the online service is.
notice you have a few
testimonials on your site,
so I thought I'd tell
you
about the flowers you recently delivered for
me.
I sent them to a friend
who works in an almost
all female office. They arrived
in the afternoon
when everyone was sat around
the boardroom table
having tea. Apparently the receptionist appeared
in
the doorway with the
flowers, which I’m told
were beautiful, and slowly walked around the
table,
with everyone wondering where she was
going
to stop!
She finally got to
my friend and gave
them to
her, and I’m
reliably
informed that she was
very surprised, couldn't
imagine who they were
from, and went very pink
to have this happen
so publicly! Perfect.
I
realize that the timing
was just coincidence and
couldn't be guaranteed for future orders, but
very enjoyable nonetheless!
I also recently used you to send some flowers to
a
friend who just came out
of hospital, and he
said
they were very beautiful
too.
Just a big THANK YOU!!
My
mum received her
flowers and was thrilled with
them (and would tell me if she wasn't!). It was
good to hear that other blooms
had not been
substituted, which is always my
worry when
picking
flowers on line. I was able
to track the
order easily
too. I will be definitely
using you whenever
I need to send flowers

For loose bunches or
boxed flowers:
a cool place
until you can get
them in a flower
food solution. Don't
forget how important
it is to follow the
mixing directions on
the flower food
packet.
Fill a clean
(washed with a
detergent or
antibacterial
cleaning solution),
deep vase with water
and add a flower
food from your
florist.
Remove leaves
that will be below
the waterline.
Leaves in water will
promote bacterial
microbial growth
that may limit water
uptake by the
flower.
Re-cut stems by
removing one to two
inches with a sharp
knife. Place the
flowers in the vase
solution you've
prepared.
For floral
arrangements:
Keep the vase
filled (or floral
foam soaked) with
water containing a
flower food provided
by your
florist.
Flower foods make
flowers last longer
but it is important
to follow the mixing
directions on the
flower food packet.
Most packets are to
be mixed with either
a pint or a quart of
water. Flower foods
should not be
diluted with more
water than is
specified on the
packet.
If the flower
food solution
becomes cloudy,
replace it entirely
with properly mixed
flower food
solution. If
possible, re-cut
stems by removing
one to two inches
with a sharp knife.
Be sure to use a
sharp knife or
clippers that will
not crush the stems.
Immediately place
the stems into
solution.
Keep flowers in
a cool spot (65 to
72 degrees
Fahrenheit), away
from direct
sunlight, heating or
cooling vents,
directly under
ceiling fans, or on
top of televisions
or radiators.
(Appliances like
televisions give off
heat, which causes
flowers to
dehydrate.) Most
flowers will last
longer under cool
conditions.
ORDERING ADVICE
The Society of American
Florists provides the
following tips on
finding an outstanding
florist.
Look for these
attributes to find the
right match for you:
Professional
Affiliation:
Florists who belong to
professional groups are
committed to being the
best in their field.
Look for affiliation
with national wire
services (FTD,
Teleflora), national
trade associations like
the Society of American
Florists, state and
local trade
associations, and local
community and civic
organizations. Top Quality Product:
The finest florists in
the field carry quality
product, provide floral
food with each purchase
and offer instructions
for proper care to
ensure maximum enjoyment Creative Flair:
Look for artistry in the
florist's
arrangements, design and
presentation Helpful Suggestions:
Good florists ask
questions about what
you're looking for,
offer expert advice and
suggest floral gifts to
match any sentiment,
occasion, personality or
home decor. Top Quality Product:
The finest florists in
the field carry quality
product, provide floral
food with each purchase
and offer instructions
for proper care to
ensure maximum
enjoyment. The Right Fit:
Look for a floral shop
that offers the product
mix, level of service
and design style that
fit your needs. Personal Attention:
Choose a
florist
who will get to know
you, keep track of your
floral preferences and
send reminders of
upcoming special
occasions. Excellent Service:
Look for convenient
hours, easy-access
location and a
satisfaction-guarantee
If you purchase
loose flowers for
your own
arrangements you
should also consider
these tips:
When
selecting
flowers, look
for flowers with
upright, firm
petals and buds
beginning to
open. Yellow,
spotted or
drooping leaves
are signs of
age.
When using
woody stems and
branches (such
as quince,
forsythia or
lilac), cut the
stem with sharp
pruning shears.
Place them in
warm water
containing fresh
flower food to
promote flower
opening.
Frequently Asked
Questions
What is the best way to
take care of a flower
arrangement?
It depends on how they
are packaged :
If you receive
flowers in a vase,
make sure the water
is always clear. If
the water turns
unclear, drain it
and add new water
mix with the flower
stabilizer supply by
your
florist.
If you could, re-cut
the stems with a
knife previous to
place them in the
bright and fresh
water.
If you receive
flowers in a small
box package or
tissue or
cellophane, take
away each and every
one of the foliage
and flowers that
falls under the
water line, and
after that cut the
stems with a knife
in a go under filled
of lukewarm water.
Be certain to cut
the stems under the
water and put them
right away into a
container or vase of
lukewarm water and
the floral food.
Ask
your
florist
for the food.
If you receive
flowers in a
container with
floral foam, be
certain the
container is full of
water every day. The
water should be
treated with the
floral food provided
by your
florist.
Using your touch, feel
below the greens for
a position where
water can be added.
Otherwise you can
pour water gradually
into the midpoint of
the arrangement,
keeping a finger in
the container to
measure the water
height.
No matter what kind of
agreement you have, it
is significant to
maintain your flowers
off of televisions,
electrical device and
heat/cooling component.
You be supposed to also
keep them away from hot
or cold breeze and out
of straight sunbeams.
Is it possible to revive
a wilted rose?
If a rose droop too
early, take away it from
the arrangement and
attempt the following
simple tip to perk it
up. Fill up a sink with
lukewarm water. put down
the rose flat in the
water bath and cut the
stem (about 1") with a
sharp knife below the
warm water. put down the
rose in the bath for
about one hour plus let
the water cool. This
development can work
wonder, but if the rose
is by now past its vase
life it will not perk
up.
Since flowers like
sunshine, should I put
my arrangement in the
sun when I get it?
No. Growing flowers need
sunlight for maturation,
but cut flowers will
weaken much faster if
exposed to high
temperature and straight
sunlight. To keep
flowers fresh longer,
put them in a place
absent from sun and
drafts.
What is wrong with the
water in a vase when it
turns yellow and cloudy?
This is a normal signal
that microorganisms are
growing in the water.
Microorganisms can block
stems and cut down the
vase life of flowers, so
keep the water clear at
all times to make sure
the long life of your
blooms. If your water
begin to turn gray,
right away empty the
vase and put in clean
water, if possible mixed
with the floral food
provided by your
florist
Substitution
Rarely, substitution
may be needed to create
your bouquet due to the
accessibility of certain
flowers in various parts
of the country. Our
concern is maintaining
the style, idea and
color format of the
arrangement, using
flowers of the same
value. in addition, the
substitution of certain
keepsake stuff may be
required due to greater
than before demand,
particularly during most
important holidays. In
single-flower
arrangements, such as an
all rose bouquet, or
orchids, we will make
every effort to match
the flower type, but may
alternate with another
color.
Roses.
1. In very
exceptional cases (less
than 1 order in 1000) a
exact color may not be
available on your
delivery day. This only
happens when a color
pre-booked from the farm
does not make it on our
planned . We will
attempt to get in touch
with the sender as soon
as we know of this
before sending by phone
and or Email if time
allows. If we cannot get
in touch with the sender
on delivery day, a
different color of
similar price may be
substituted. This is not
cause for money back or
replacement.
Flowers
In arrangements of
mixed flowers, the
colors shown online
will be used if at
all possible, even
if this mea
ns
substituting other
kinds of flowers of
the same or better
value.
For one-of-a-kind
flower arrangements,
such as all roses or
all lilies, we will
make every effort to
match the flower
kind, but may
replace with another
color.
If the floral
container shown
online is not
available, a alike
container will be
used.
Plants
For green and
blooming plants,
similar plants may
be substituted of
equal or greater
value.
For one-of-a-kind
plants, such as
orchids, we will
make every attempt
to match the plant
type, but may
substitute with
another color.
If the plant
container shown
online is not
available, a similar
container will be
used.
Specialty Gifts
Specialty gifts may
be substituted with
another specialty
gift of equal or
greater worth and of
comparable idea and
kind
Just alike to people, flowers come in
hundreds of forms and dimensions. When
it comes to Valentine's Day gifts,
cautiously choosing the flower selection
and colors you send will result in a
considerate, personalized gift your
sweetheart will treasure. The earliest
walk is to consider your sweetheart's
favorite. What colors does he or she
like? Men react well to bright, hard
colors such as red, orange, purple and
blue. Women tend to enjoy light tones of
pinks, peaches and lavenders. Does she
have any preferred flowers? What are his
hobbies? Your florist can make
arrangements that rotate around your
sweetheart's preferred hobby, sport or
activity. Inquire yourself what note you
want to convey. Inquire from your
florist, who can give details the
variety of likely available.
To obtain the best set and make sure on
time delivery, call your preferred
florist the week previous to Valentine's
Day. When you call, have the needed
information handy: the receiver name,
address, phone number, what you want to
send and how you want to be payable.
contain trouble putting your feelings
into speech? Here are some suggestions
for creative messages for your floral
field cards:
(For flowers delivered on February
13th): Couldn't wait
another day to say I Love You!
(For flowers delivered on February
13th): I love you so much
I couldn't wait for Valentine's Day!
Cupid's aim is still pretty good.
Today's a very special day for
sending all my love your way!
With you it's Valentine's Day 365
days a year.
My dearest ___________,
As another Valentine's Day comes
closer, I am reminded of all of the
other Valentine Day's we have spent
together. Some people talk about the
loneliness of this day and I suppose
that when one doesn’t have a
companion such as you, one doesn’t
want to celebrate a day of love &
romance. But not I – I am so lucky
to have you and so eager to
celebrate this day with you.
The old adage which states that love
makes the world go round has some
flaws in its theory (especially when
you consider contemporary history),
but I happen to whole heartedly
agree with a proverb that modifies
this old adage “Love doesn’t make
the world go round, love is what
makes the ride worthwhile”. Everyday
when I wake up, I am able to face
ANYTHING that comes my way…and I do
mean anything. But I can only do
this because I have your dedication
and support holding me up
unconditionally. There are so many
things in this world that frighten
me, but so long as we are together
and so long as our love is the
central & binding force that rules
our life, my fear cowers in the face
of danger. That is truly
magnificent.
Sometimes problems come up and for
just a fraction of a second I think
I’ll never be able to cope and then
the thought of you sweeps into my
mind and a sense of peace & calm
washes over my entire being. It
startles me at first, but in only
moments I am confident that we will
be able to handle anything. And then
the world is right again – that is
the power that your love & your
awesome support holds over me.
"It is impossible to fall out of
love. Love is such a powerful
emotion, that once it envelops you
it does not depart. True love is
eternal. If you think that you were
once in love, but fell out of it,
then it wasn't love you were in.
There are no 'exit' signs in love,
there is only an 'on' ramp."
This quote makes me smile, because I
think to myself that it couldn’t be
any closer to the truth. There have
been a few times in the past (long
before I was with you) that I
thought I was in love, but either
myself or that other person always
found that ‘exit’ ramp which is
totally out of reach for you & I.
There is no exit sign – the moment
we got on the ‘love freeway’ we were
propelled forward into a life of
companionship. But the exciting part
is that we still have absolute
control over the course of the life
which we are leading – being on this
‘love freeway’ doesn’t mean that
forces beyond us are controlling us
(that would be scary)…but it does
mean that there are no exits. Baby,
it’s you & me – together forever!
So as we celebrate another
Valentine’s Day, I throw caution to
the wind and tell you that I would
gladly stand upon any roof top and
shout to the world that you are the
only person who I will ever love…the
only person who will ever love me
just the way that I am meant to be
loved.
As I have tried to find the perfect
Valentine's gift, I have been pushed
forward by my intense love for you. Even
though we have celebrated Valentine's
Day together before, each time feels
just like the first time. There is this
anticipation in the air – a desire to
make everything just right for our
special celebration. But as long as we
are together, that’s good enough for me.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I once heard a question asked “why do
you love your partner?” I remember
thinking to myself that it wasn’t really
a fair question. After all, I don't know
why I love you, I just do. It's a thing
of the heart – and can't really be
deconstructed into words. It's a feeling
– so I won't even try to tell you all of
the reasons why I love you, because
ultimately I love you because I can’t do
anything but that.
“When I saw you, I was afraid to meet
you... When I met you, I was afraid to
kiss you... When I kissed you, I was
afraid to love you... Now that I love
you, I'm afraid to lose you."
Without you, my life simply would lack
the flavor that it has. Of course life
would go on, but life would be in “black
& white” …. not like the life of color
we live together. Being with you makes
everything better. I want to take this
Valentine's day to tell you that I love
you exactly how you are “The beginning
of love is to let those we love be
perfectly themselves, and not to twist
them to fit our own image. Otherwise we
love only the reflection of ourselves we
find in them." Isn't that so true?
My darling, I love you just the way that
you are. Never change – never, ever
change. On this Valentine’s Day, I make
a toast to you & I. Together Forever!
Listen. To the song in you. It's there
in whatever puts stars in your eyes and
makes your heart sing.
Listen. To your feelings and you will
hear who you are and what you must do.
Listen. To your needs and you will know
where to find what you are looking for.
Listen. To the wisdom within. It is
trying to lead you to your destiny.
Listen. To the song in you and your life
will be full of harmony. You will be who
you were meant to be. You will be
complete and at peace and happier than
you have ever been – if only you will..
Listen. To the song in you.
________ I love you very much and I want
to wish you a very splendid Valentine's
Day! I am so glad that I get to spend
Valentine's Day with you.
My hope is that this Valentine's letter
will be as precious to you as you are to
me. In this letter you have my heart;
you have my soul; you have my truths.
With you I have traveled, not only into
your world, but deeper into my own. I
have learned who I am; who I want to be;
who I may aspire to be; and what I may
dare to dream. Ours is a love that has
endured hardships and joys, for these
‘have been the worst of times, and the
best of times’. With honor and humility,
you stand silently but strongly beside
me:
For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult of
our tasks; the ultimate, the last test
and proof, the work for which all other
work is but preparation. ~ Rainer Maria
I wanted to make the most of this day
which celebrates love and I wanted to
use this day to celebrate our own love.
Because you have loved me, I have
learned to love myself. Some may call it
‘madness, but I call it love'. A wise
woman once reflected that if you judge
people then you have no time to love
them. ________ you don't judge: you
love. From the first moment that we met,
I have been enthralled with you; I have
wanted to be yours. Your simple touch
electrified me; your presence made my
heart beat faster then before. And
today, there is still no one that I
would rather be with – than you. Without
you, I am unfinished. Without me, you
are deficient. ________ like two pieces
of a puzzle, we come together. ‘That is
what I imagine love to be –
incompleteness in absence'.
________ it is our love that makes us
wealthy; our love that makes us worthy.
“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence
nor imagination nor both together go to
the making of genius. Love, love, love,
that is the soul of genius'. I could
have everything in the world – but
without love I would have nothing of
value. But with love – everything else
has value. And it is with you that I
have love – true love.
________ ‘to the world you may be one
person, but to me you are the world’. On
this Valentine's Day, I promise that I
will love you always.
Love, __________
Dear ___________,
Being so far apart is difficult to bear
(especially at Valentine's Day) – when I
wake in the morning and sleep in the
night, I desire to have you with me.
_________ the thing that keeps me strong
is the knowledge that soon we will be
together again. Somehow words seem to
not say enough – but I try anyways to
let you know that I think of you just as
much as I know that you think of me. I
can hardly wait until we are together
again – until I can hold you in my arms,
brush my lips across yours, and sigh in
relief because once again I am home.
That dream makes me strong. ‘And think
not you can direct the course of
love…for love, if it finds you worthy
directs your course’. The course we take
may not be easy but so long as it brings
us together in the end, I will be okay.
Until we meet again … (and because I
cannot be with you this Valentine's Day)
hugs & kisses!
Love, ___________
Hello my love,
I don't love you as if you were the
salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations
that propagate fire: I love you as
certain dark things are loved, secretly,
between the shadow and the soul. I love
you as the plant that doesn't bloom, and
carries hidden within itself the light
of those flowers, and thanks to your
love, darkly in my body lives the dense
fragrance that rises from the earth. I
love you without knowing how, or when,
or from where, I love you simply,
without problems or pride: I love you in
this way because I know no other way of
loving but this, in which there is no I
or you; so intimate that your hand upon
my chest is my hand, so intimate that
when I fall asleep it is your eyes that
close.
Happy Valentine's Day ________ !
Hugs & Sweet Kisses, _________
My darling,
The Art of a Good Marriage
~ by Wilferd Arlan Peterson ~
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the "little" things are the
big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say, ”I love you"
at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is having a mutual sense of values,
and common objectives.
It is standing together and facing the
world.
It is forming a circle that gathers in
the whole family.
It is speaking words of appreciation,
and demonstrating gratitude in
thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and
forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in
which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and
the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person
-- it is being the right partner.
Happy Anniversary & Happy Valentine's
Day my sweet lover.
Go placidly amid the noise
and the haste, and remember
what peace there may be in
silence. As far as possible
without surrender be on good
terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and
clearly; and listen to
others, even to the dull and
the ignorant, they too have
their story. Avoid loud and
aggressive persons, they are
vexations to the spirit. If
you compare yourself with
others, you may become vain
or bitter; for always there
will be greater and lesser
persons than yourself. Enjoy
your achievements as well as
your plans. Keep interested
in your own career, however
humble; it is a real
possession in the changing
fortunes of time. Exercise
caution in your business
affairs, for the world is
full of trickery. But let
not this blind you to what
virtue there is; many
persons strive for high
ideals, and everywhere life
is full of heroism. Be
yourself. Especially do not
feign affection. Neither be
cynical about love; for in
the face of all aridity and
disenchantment it is as
perennial as the grass. Take
kindly the counsel of the
years, gracefully
surrendering the things of
youth. Nurture strength of
spirit to shield you in
sudden misfortune. But do
not distress yourself with
dark imaginings. Many fears
are born of fatigue and
loneliness. Beyond a
wholesome discipline, be
gentle with yourself. You
are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and
the stars; you have a right
to be here. And whether or
not it is clear to you, no
doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive
Him to be. And whatever your
labors and aspirations in
the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery
and broken dreams; it is
still a beautiful world. Be
cheerful. Strive to be
happy. Happy Valentine's Day
_________ - I love you more
and more each day. Thanks
for being such a great lover
and a great partner to me.
If I could save time in a bottle, the
first thing that I'd like to do, is to
save every day ‘till eternity passes
away, just to spend them with you. If I
could make days last forever; if words
could make wishes come true; I'd save
every day like a treasure and then,
again, I would spend them with you. If I
had a box just for wishes, and dreams
that had never come true; the box would
be empty, except for the memory of how
they were answered by you. But there
never seems to be enough time to do the
things you want to do, once you find
them. I've looked around enough to know
that you're the one I want to go through
time with. Happy Valentines my precious
& perfect ____________. I love you more
than these words and this bottle can
say.
Love your special & even secret
Valentine

Rose
Baby Boom Goes Unnoticed
A rose is a rose is a rose. Or is it?
Unbeknownst to most of us, the 1990s
spawned a virtual baby boom of rose
varieties. Brought on by a fertile
production period, today there are close
to 120 rose varieties commercially
available - up from the few dozen
choices found in flower shops in the
1980s.
This new wave in roses is outpacing
consumer consciousness. According to a
survey commissioned by the Society of
American Florists (SAF), half of the
consumers surveyed believe only 50 or
fewer varieties exist.
Roses are red and pink and yellow and...
Even in this rose baby boom, red reigns
as the all-time favorite rose color,
especially among men. However, other
colors are gaining in popularity: 62
percent of women surveyed prefer hues
such as yellow, pink, peach and white.
Unconventional color picks - lavender
and orange roses - are also emerging as
favorites.
So, do new colors bring new
interpretations? In the early 1900s rose
colors did signify specific meanings.
But today, there are too many colors to
keep track. It's the sentiment that
gives a gift its meaning.
Expanding families of color
These new rose varieties have not only
expanded the color palette - from
extreme lights to bright brights - but
have enhanced characteristics such as
bloom size, shape, stem length and
strength of fragrance. The Society of
American Florists offers the following
color guide to help you get acquainted
with these expanding color families:
Rage for Red:
The new reds range from shades of bright
raspberry to majestic scarlet to
velvety-dark red to orange-kissed hues.
Pretty in Pinks:
Choose from the family of traditional
bridal pinks or adopted siblings of hip
hot pinks. Cousins on this family tree
include peaches, apricots, corals and
lavenders.
Yellow Stars:
Whether crisp lemon, buttery hues,
golden yellows or trendy two-tones, the
variety of yellow roses cover a broad
spectrum of color - and appeal. If
you've never given flowers to a man
before, introduce him to this family of
colors. Yellow is the second most
popular color cited by men.
Bright Whites:
The trend toward neutral schemes for
home environments makes an arrangement
of lush white roses the perfect gift.
Shades of white - ultra white, ivory,
champagne lineages - are as lovely for
weddings and romantic settings as they
are easy complements to elegant home
decors.
Roses are like fine wines, a delight to
be savored and cultivated. Like an
expanding wine cellar - florists'
coolers are now stocked with more
choices worth learning about. After all,
variety is the spice of life.

accidentally shot arrows into the
rose garden when a bee stung him,
