Flowers still aren’t as popular at Christmas as they are for other occasions, but each year more and more Christmas flowers are sent in the UK, particularly the seasonal poinsettia.
Flowers make beautiful Christmas gifts, florists create wonderful festive bouquets in reds, golds, greens and whites, and they can really brighten up your home.

Halloween isn’t the most popular time of the year to send flowers, but there are some beautiful Autumn flowers available.
I especially love the colours of the Autumn Falls bouquet from Clare Florist, I’m sure anyone would be happy to receive that. It would look great next to your scary pumpkin carving!

Did you know that the 6th of July is National Kissing Day? If you’ve got your eyes on someone and hope to grab that important first kiss why not send them some romantic roses to get them in the mood?
National Kissing Day first started in 1995, and although it’s never really taken off this could be the year that it does. So get smooching!

Would you give your Dad flowers for Father’s Day? More and more online florists are introducing a Father’s Day flowers range, but is this just an attempt to cash in or do Dads really want flowers for Father’s Day?
Any comments welcome!

Do you send flowers for Easter? A bunch of beautiful lilies or spring tulips would certianly make someone’s Easter Weekend, and would be a healthier alternative to a chocolate egg! See our Easter Flowers.
We’re used to seeing chocolate eggs and rabbits appear in shop windows before Easter, and you might be attending an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday, but did you know that:

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, the 22nd of March, so remember to order your flowers this week. You can compare the prices of Mothers Day bouquets at major online florists on our Mothers Day Flowers page.
With it being spring, Mothers Day bouquets often contain spring flowers, such as tulips, and the colour choices are often pinks and yellows. Don’t feel like you need to stick to these – if you want to make a statement you could send a beautiful rose bouquet with twenty softly scented assorted pink roses.

If you’re a romantic at heart, you’ll no doubt be thinking of sending some flowers to your loved one this Valentine’s Day. The price of red roses seems to shoot up this time of your, so we’ve compared the price of a dozen red roses at some of the major online florists, with dramatic results. See the red rose comparison.
The cheapest twelve red rose bouquet was £14.98 from Valueflora, and the most expensive dozen roses was £74.99 from Interrose. Admittedly, the Interrose roses are the fabulous 100cm long flowers.
It doesn’t stop there though, if you’ve got the budget of a billionaire you can send 288 red roses for £389.99.
You can see the full red rose comparison here. Hurry, these prices could change or the flowers could sell out.
