Valentine's Day Flowers in Tampa

Attention MEN!

Do you give her the same ole thing every Valentine's Day?

Come on you know what I mean.

The same dozen red roses you gave her last year?

Studies have shown that women want something different. Roses are becoming a thing of the past when it comes to Valentine's Day. A woman likes to be surprised, so why not surprise her with a bouquet of flowers that expresses your thoughts of her. Select flowers that remind you of her. It may be an over flowing Victorian design of Garden Roses, Lilies, Tulips, and Peonies or a Tropical arrangement of Birds of Paradise and Orchids. She will see that you took time to put some thought into sending her flowers. Better yet take her home a Romantic European hand tied Bouquet. Something that will totally blow her mind and delivered to her by you. How Eco-Friendly is that?

Yes, it is easy to just say "Give me a dozen red roses.", but does that really covey what you feel about her?

This year take the plunge and give her something from the heart and mix it up a bit. You will find that she will love it. Take it from me after 30 years as a florist I know.

The Lady Bug of Tampa

From the conception of Apple Blossoms Floral Designs here in Tampa we wanted to find a signature for all our arrangements. One day I stumbled across these lovely Lady Bugs. I wasn't sure if anyone would notice, but they have. Here is a note we received this week from one of our recipients of our flowers.

Hi Scott!
We spoke once a few months ago when I ordered flowers for a local friend.

I received my third maybe fourth floral arrangement from Apple Blossoms last week... It is over the top...as always! However I have to tell you... I was so disappointed because there was no ladybug...anywhere.
A few days after I received the flowers my little granddaughter, Madison came over and asked... “Mimi are these ladybug flowers?” I had to say “No sweetie...this one doesn’t have a lady bug” only to hear her disappointed “ahhh”. An hour or so later I heard a cry of glee from my front room...I ran in to see what was going on...
you can never tell with a 4 year old ... and she excitedly exclaimed... “I found her! I found her”. I am thinking ...what in the world? as she shouts... “THE LADYBUG THE LADYBUG! SHE IS RIGHT THERE!”
Needless to say it was a moment in time... Thank you for not only creating amazing floral designs but for
also creating a magical moment for a beautiful 4 year old and her Mimi. :)

I don’t have any idea how I missed it but I am glad I did.

Blessings to you and your team!
