Our March twitter winner, Saint Patrick's Day and Mother's Day
Congratulations to our Twitter; #randomfollower March competition winner - Vicki, who has won a bespoke Clare Florist hand-tied bouquet. Here is what she had to say upon recieving her flowers:
'These are the BEAUTIFUL flowers that I won from ClareFlorist! Aren't they gorgeous, guys?! They asked me what colours I like and my favourite flowers so they could personalise it for me. I was so speechless though that I just said 'UHHH, I like purples, pinks, yellows and iris'! Not very helpful but they came up trumps! Thanks you so much! xxxx'
Thank's Vicki, the team here are so pleased that you like them!
Irish eyes will be smiling today - Thursday 17th March is St. Patrick's Day!
We'd like to send our best wishes to all of our friends from Ireland on their special day. Click on the green shamrock to see Saint Patrick's Day on our Special Dates page.
Mother's Day in the UK is on Sunday 3rd April this year. Mother's Day or Mothering Sunday is the time when children pay respect to their Mothers – often by presenting them with a card and a gift and as the day falls during spring, a gift of Spring Flowers is often given; by way of a thank youfor all their love, attention, kindness and affection that they have shown throughout the year.
So there is still plenty of time for you to order your magnificent Mum some fabulous fresh flowers from our gorgeous Mother's Day Flowers collection.

October Flowers and Prizewinners
October Prizewinner:
Firstly congratulations to our October, second Tuesday of the month twitter #randomfollower prizewinner: Jackie from Lancs. Who very kindly had her winning bespoke bouquet sent to her mum. Here she is with her prize (and a very cute dog). Well done Jackie - and your Mum too!
October Flowers:
The Birth flower for October is the marigold (or Calendula).
The flower meaning of the October birth flower - the marigold; is sorrow or sympathy and the colours for the October birth month flowers should be Yellow or white.
Birth month flowers are usually the specific flowers that are traditionally given to a person the month that person is born.
The Marigold's flower meaning is "winning grace." Once considered the most sacred of flowers, in India it was placed around the necks of holy statues.
The Marigold is found through Europe, the United States, and western Asia. Marigolds are good cleansers and can be used as remedies for bee stings and can be used by cooks as a spicy seasoning or colouring for food.

Twitter Competition winners
Hello Flower Friends,
As you may know, we ran a twitter competition last month - with a fantastic prize for two lucky winners who will both receive a bouquet every month for a year!
We had a phenomenal response to the competition and would like to congratulate Tracey Rollings from Middlesbrough and Hannah Ferguson from Kidderminster - The team at Clare Florist hope you enjoy your flowers!
We have also decided that it would be a nice idea to our twitter followers to randomly select one lucky person to receive a free bouquet that will be picked and sent every second Tuesday of the month. So spread the word, follow us on twitter and you could be the chosen one!
Also we are promoting our facebook page - which tells our friends (now "likers") all the latest Clare Florist information, competitions, promotional codes, flower facts, product range updates and of course general flower fun!
Tell all your friends to follow Clare Florist on twitter and Like Clare Florist on facebook and they could be in for receiving some great goodies!
