All of our bouquets contain the finest quality top grade roses, crisp fresh flower combinations and luxury foliage making them the perfect way to express and say "I love You". What is more they all come with FREE standard flower delivery to any address in the UK!

It's not just Roses that convey the meaning of Love, there are many other flower meanings - all have significant relevance and have been used to communicate feelings throughout the ages. So why not send something different to that special person this year?

Tulips mean; Romance, the perfect lover, fame, love and passion, so how about these beautiful Valentine's Tulips - 20 vibrant pink and luscious red spring tulips, fresh from the fields of Holland, gorgeously presented and delivered to the one you love, anywhere in the UK!

Happy New Year!!

We are back to work today from a well earned rest. After a really busy Christmas it was great to come back and find out that our couriers had done really well getting all your bouquets delivered considering the adverse weather conditions we had recently.

I had a fantastic New Year with friends, we stayed in Fife overlooking the fireworks at Edinburgh Castle. It was really superb clear night and we set off Sky Lanterns from the beach which should hopefully see all our problems float away and bring prosperity to us all.

So its back to normal today, all I have to do is send some thank you messages - thank goodness we have a great range of value bouquets and I can do it from my desk.

St Nicholas Day 6th December

In many countries St. Nicholas is the main gift giver. His feast day, St Nicholas Day, is December 6th which falls early in the advent season.
In Amsterdam he arrived on the 16th of November and then moves around the country visiting schools and homes to see if the children have been good.
Small treats are left in the children's clogs so the children know he has come.
European immigrants brought cherished St. Nicholas holiday traditions to the United States. Over time these have melted into some common practises.

Stockings are hung by the fireplace, by poor maidens, are said to have been filled with gold coins tossed through the window by St Nicholas.

Tangerines in the toe of the stockings symbolise the gold coins.

Candy Canes were made to look like the staffs that the bishops carry, hooked at the top like a shepherds crook, showing they are the shepherds who cared for their people.

Gift giving in secret at night was done by Nicholas as he didn't want to be seen or recognised as he wanted those he helped to give thanks to God.

Black Friday

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season.
It refers to the beginning of the period in which retailers go from being in the red to being in the black. (i.e turning a profit).
Originally, September 24, 1969 was deemed Black Friday a day of stock market catastrophe.
But now with many sales being made over the internet many retailers offer early promotions to entice shoppers to purchase their Christmas goodies in advance.
Are you on our mailing list? If not make sure you join as we will be sending our members some fantastic offers soon.
Here's a link so you can join up.

One month till Christmas !!!!

Can you believe it Christmas is only one month away!
Every year I think I will get organised early but yet again I'm not. I'm glad we have all our Christmas range ready and think that perhaps I will be sending lots of flowers to my family and friends.
Here are some of my favourite bouquets from this years Festive collection.
Christmas Roses - A Christmas bouquet full of lush red roses and golden berries.

Velvet Amaryllis - Five simple stems of velvet Amarllyis that last for ages.

Christmas Cheer - A cheerful bouquet of Christmas ilex berries, carnations and golden foliage, this bouquet is fabulous because it last's for so long.

With all these fabulous bouquets there really is no need to rush out shopping - just yet :-)

Scorpio Star Sign

Scorpios have a bad reputation for jealous streaks. Outwardly calm they have infinite stores of emotional energy and can easily erupt. On a positive note this energy and zest can lead to a determined approach to life which brings results.
The Scorpio has a mighty sting in its tail but because of the water element brings waves of feeling and emotion which in turn brings meaning and value to everyday occurrences in life.
Topaz is the birthstone of Scorpio and dark mysterious flowers hence the reason we recommend our Blue Flower Collection to send to Scorpions.
Some famous Scorpions are Martin Scorsese, Danny DeVito and Leonardo DiCaprio. Interestingly I would say they are very focused, emotional, complex but hypnotic with it !

Lest we Forget - an extract from Rudyard Kipling's poem.

Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet.
Lest we forget - lest we forget!
