Clare Florist April News Special:

Clare Florist has today announced it is to sell a new range of ever lasting fresh flowers.

Scientists working in conjunction with Clare Florist to produce everlasting flowers
Clare Florist has been working closely with a team of Dutch flower experts (Con van de prank) who specialise in the plastination technique which was discovered by anatomist Gunther von Hagens, who invented the preservation process and is the force behind the "Body Worlds" museum exhibitions (von Hagens's organization has plastinated elephants, humans, and other animals). The specialist process involves replacing flower fluids with silicone. This will lead to flowers being preserved indefinitely and giving a more natural effect than other fake or false flowers or silk flowers that are on the market. They require no water or looking after and can be rearranged time after time.

These flowers will be presented in an array of live forever bouquets and will be available as of today priced from £1570.23 (As the process is improved the price is expected to come down)

Industry insiders are said to be concerned about these everlasting flowers hitting the shops as they will be a threat to the real fresh cut flower industry, the "ever lasting" fresh flowers range do not however keep a scent so every purchase comes with a free litre bottle of flower perfume which should be sprayed on the bouquets every 2 hours.

Order Yours today, go to: http://www.clareflorist.co.uk

Easter Sunday - 4th April 2010

Easter is a Christian holiday. It is a holiday which celebrates the resurrection of Christ. According to Christian history, Jesus was crucified on a Friday and rose three days later—on Sunday. New elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts, Easter bonnets, egg painting and of course chocolate eggs have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and these aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

The giving of spring flowers is also recognised as a suitable Easter time gift and with fresh spring flowers being abundant around Easter time, there are plenty of beautiful Spring Bouquets to choose from.

We would like to wish you all a very happy Easter from the team here at Clare Florist and would like to give you 5% off when you order any of our fabulous flowers. Simply input the code "CF5" when at the checkout.

Saint Patrick's Day - Wednesday 17th March

This Wednesday - 17th March is Saint Patrick's Day!

Irish clover It is believed that Saint Patrick's Day has been celebrated in Ireland since before the 1600s. It was also believed to have served as a one-day break during Lent, the forty day period of fasting. This would involve drinking alcohol (something which became a tradition - Guinness anyone?) It was only in the mid-1990s that the Irish government began a campaign to use Saint Patrick's Day to showcase Ireland and its culture. The first Saint Patrick's Festival was held on March 17, 1996. In 1997, it became a three-day event, and by 2000 it was a four-day event. By 2006, the festival was five days long; over 675,000 people attended the 2009 parade. Overall last year's five day festival saw close to one million visitors that took part in the festivities that included concerts, outdoor theatre performances, and fireworks. Throughout the world, Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated by Irish and non-Irish alike, revellers ware green clothing, rivers and fountains are dyed green and the shamrock is displayed proudly - it is widely seen as a day to celebrate individual links to Ireland and all things Irish.

Why not join in the Saint Patrick's Day celebrations, ware something green, enjoy a Guinness or send some green themed flowers or shamrocks!

Mother's Day - 14th March 2010

This Sunday, March 14th, is Mother's Day. In the UK it is always celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) originally to honour Mary, the mother of Christ. It is the day designated for us to show our love and appreciation for the special lady in our lives - the lady who nurtures and cares for us, the lady who guides you through infancy and supports you from child to adulthood, she is the lady who has sacrificed a great deal in her life for you.

Mother's Day is the day we should stop, think and remember the special lady in our life - whom without, we would not have been what we are today, it is a day to prove that all of her efforts towards making us complete have been worthwhile. It is important to ensure that your Mum feels special on this day, a day set aside just for her.

Mothersdayflowers_graphic
Mothering Sunday is a time for children to give flowers, cards and other presents to their mothers to express their love and gratitude.

By giving fabulous flowers to a magnificent Mum - you are certain to brighten her day!

As Stevie Wonder said; "Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love."

Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year!

Just see how wonderfully industrious we are in our Valentines Day preparations... DMPC

Well Valentine's day is nearly here. It has been so busy here at Clare Florist in preparation for the big Sunday. It's not too late to order your flower delivery for your loved one especially as we are delivering on the day it's self (available for a £8.95 surcharge). We have so many beautiful bouquets for you to choose from, there is sure to be one that you'd love to send or receive for that matter!

Let us not forget the other massive celebration that will be taking place on Sunday 14th Feb - It's the Chinese New Year and this year it is the year of the Tiger. We have some stunning "Tiger Lilies" available that are sure to delight and are quite fitting for the year honouring the Tiger!

The Year of the tiger has some interesting associations and if you are a "tiger" here are a few of your attributes; Your motto is "I win", your season is Spring, fixed element is wood, your gemstone is diamond, colours are red and green, food is bread and poultry and your equivalent western star sign is Aquarius.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers and fans and followers a Happy Valentines Day and of course a Happy Chinese New Year from all of the team here at Clare Florist!
