WOW! Spring Flowers
An Eye-Popping Gift.

Spring is in the air and the colors of spring blooms are bright, bold and eye-popping! Now is the perfect time to send fresh spring arrangements for Birthdays, Get Wells, Pick Me UPs and almost all occasions.

Fresh seasonal spring flowers such as Tulips, Iris, Snapdragons, and Gerbera come in an array of beautiful, bright, eye-catching colors and make a dazzling display when arranged together.

Bold colors like the ones displayed in our Spring Bling arrangement shown here command immediate attention and highlight the arrival of the spring season with cheery, colorful blooms that so perfectly compliment each other.

So the next time you need to send flowers, or just want to treat yourself to a little something special. Be sure to ask your florist for a nice spring mix for display that will have everyone taking notice.

Be sure to properly care for your arrangement by simply grasping your flower arrangement around the top rim of the vase it is in and removing it, keeping it in hand cut off approximately 1" from the bottom of the stems, reinsert the arrangement in to a clean vase containing fresh water prepared with flower preservative (usually supplied by florist with arrangement). Following this procedure each time the water becomes murky and it will greatly extend the life of your flowers and allow you to enjoy them that much longer.

Will the Real PRO Please Stand UP?

Another Valentine's Day, another onslaught of negative advertising about professional florists from Liberty Media's ProFlowers.

Here's what Real Florists really want you to know:

ProFlowers takes the pro out of the gift of flowers.

-The roses arrive with damaged outer petals (called guard petals) because there's no pro to remove them prior to delivery.

- Your Valentine gets to clean and condition her own flowers since there's no pro to do it for her.

- Your Sweetheart has to assemble her own gift since there's no pro to professionally design it.


Avante Gardens blogged about replacing a box of ProFlowers roses last Valentine's day and about getting a guy out of the doghouse after his wife was embarassed to receive one of ProFlowers' boxes at the office.


So if you want a profession of love from your Valentine, turn to the real pros

- Local Professional Florists like us that deliver grower fresh, thoughtfully arranged flowers.


See tips about ordering Valentine's Day flowers for more advice about how to choose just the right floral gift for your sweetheart.
