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!

Going Green with Local Grown Flowes in Tampa

We love our local growers. As a Tampa Florist I have been doing my best to work with local growers for my orchids and exotic flowers. I can't always be guaranteed the exact color I want for all my Tampa Weddings or Events, but I can be assured of some of the freshest and most beautiful flowers you can come by. As a Tampa Wedding Florist and a Tampa Florist along with a Tampa Gardener myself I enjoy sharing flowers with my customers and clients that are locally grown. Currently Vanda Orchids are just coming in season. These are one of the most amazing flowers you have ever seen, and the color is just breath taking. We take great pride in working with local growers to help build local business and keep the economy growing. These people are of the fabric that keeps our local economies growing and giving back. With our motto of "Designs for a Lifetime...One Seed at a Time." we enjoy building the local economy and building lasting friendships with clients and customers just as Johny Appleseed spread his growing of Apple Trees across the land.
