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.

Looking for Halloween flowers

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!

Top Ten Funny Messages Sent with Flowers

grahammiller — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:58:50 +0000

Everyone buys flowers online these days, but those old enough probably remember the embarassment of ordering flowers over the phone, especially having to dictate a soppy message to their loved one to a florist. “Is that snuggley with an e-y or just a y sir?”.

So now that we’re spared this humiliation, what’s the funniest or most unusual flower message you’ve ever sent or received? Our favourite ten are:

Thanks for rescuing my weasel.
Happy birthday, hope you’re not still mad about the nursing home thing…
Chlamydia for flowers is not a fair exchange.
Happy birthday, and if these last another week, Merry Christmas.
You we’re right, it was Wensleydale.
Sorry about killing your hamster, although I never liked it.
Happy Anniversay, we’re amazed you’re still together.
I’m sending you sympathy flowers, because I feel sorry for you, you pathetic ***
These were over thirty pounds. Can you give me it back?
Happy Mothers Day, do they allow flowers in jail?

Some good examples of what NOT to write on flower cards, I think you’ll agree.

Pucker up for National Kissing Day

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!

Flowers for Dad?

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!

Are You Sending Flowers for Easter?

grahammiller — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:21:46 +0000

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:

In Bermuda people fly kites to symbolize Christ’s ascent.
It is tradition in Norway to solve murder mysteries at Easter.
In the Czech Republic a tradition of spanking or whipping is carried out on Easter Monday.
