Spring is here! We are starting to get daffodils, ranaculas, freesia and even a few lilaca now and then. Perfect for Passover and Easter.

In this economy, a small flower bouquet is the perfect, inexpensive way to brighten someone's day (maybe your own??).

Valentine's is quickly approaching and as usual, most people will wait until a day or two before to place thier orders. Everyone wants to have flowers delivered to thier Valentine at work, so we suggest you order by Wednesday at the latest so we can make sure they arrive reasonably early on Friday.

Roses again this year will be at $85 a dozen, that is arranged in a vase and we guarantee they will open and last several days or we will replace them with no hassle. We've seen offers on the web and tv for discounts and inexpensive roses but have decided to go with known growers whose holiday prices have stayed consistent for the couple of years. We are offering discounted delivery this year, partially because fuel costs are reasonable and partially because we are trying to offer something to our customers.

Order your Thanksgiving centerpieces by Monday, we'll be shopping at the flower market on Tuesday and can pick up special items.

An abundance of flowers usually makes everyone think of spring, but don't underestimate the wide variety of fresh product available during the autumn months. Likewise, many people think of fall and think only of the duller rust, gold, orange and yellow tones but you can decorate your holiday table with vibrant fall flowers such as bright green micro poms (button or daisy chrysanthmum pompoms), purple liatrice, dark red coxcomb, bright red and orange dahlias and deep blue delphinium. Aside from the usual cut flowers, there is also a large amount of natural foliage and lesser known flowers on the market. Hypericum (coffee bean) comes in many tones, crespedia, cat tails, various grasses, yarrow, and several grains added to less traditionally fall flowers will still reflect the current season.

So get creative for this Thanksgiving, use unusual containers and a wider variety of flowers for your holiday table and make sure that it reflects your taste and personality as well as the season.
