Flower of the Day:The Rose

During the month of February, there’ one bloom which dominates our flower delivery and keeps florists around the globe busy as bees – the rose.

We’ve come a long way since the Middle Ages; from a floristry point of view, we’re fairly sure there are very few ladies out there receiving the gift of gorgeous blooms to mask the smell of body odour for one! The sweetness in smell and taste, opulent colour, softness of petal and elegance of stem has cemented the rose as upholder of romantic notions for hundreds of years.

The rose is all about sultry impact, delicacy and vibrancy. Every colour exudes its own unique splendour – romantic red, perfect pink, bashful blue, pretty peach and yummy yellow among them!

Perhaps the most favoured February rose is the stunning deep red variety. Our florists and online flower delivery service professionals are well-practised in selecting the most beautiful stems, creating classic and unique arrangements, and finally hand delivering them straight into your loved one’s hopefully arms!

Top Florist Picks for February:

•    The “Secret Admirer” arrangement – completely classic, lavish and the perfect way to say “I love you”
•    “Adorable” stems – One of our simplest, most timeless arrangements of six red roses.
•    Keep things pretty in pink with the sweet “Perfectly Pink” arrangement, including pale pink lilies and baby pink roses.
•    Go beautiful and bright – the “Vibrant Bouquet” consists of florist-chosen cerise, orange, purple and lime flowers. Don’t forget to ask our florists to include roses, and the option to add more flowers is always there too!

Treat Yourself with Flower Delivery

Not every flower delivery is for an anniversary or for Valentine’s day. Our favourite deliveries are those that are booked for no reason other than expressing love or gratitude, or the simple enjoyment of a beautifully scented bunch of colourful blooms. A flower can brighten up any room and bring anyone who sees it a little bit of extra joy.

There is absolutely no reason not to engage an online flower delivery service on your own behalf. Not only do you get the fun of searching through the latest range and selecting your very favourite arrangement in the colour you like the most, you also get to be the one to open the door to a beautiful bunch of select blooms, artfully presented and as fresh as possible. When you send flowers to other people you do so for the satisfaction of imagining their reaction or the phone call afterwards, but you never get to see the bouquet.

A flower delivery can really brighten up your home. Some will also gently fragrance a whole room so there is more than one reason to decorate your house or flat with flower bouquets. They bring the very best of the garden into any home, even if ones that don’t have so much as a potted plant or a window box.

Why not send some flowers to yourself next time you order something special for a friend or a loved one? While looking through our pages you might as well treat yourself too.

Support Your Local Economy by Buying Flowers

Economic conditions in the UK are tough at present and many businesses are struggling to survive.

It is not only the aftermath of the recession that is contributing to difficulties, but also the deficit reduction package being implemented by the government and the rise in VAT this month that are causing problems.

And not only this but the bad weather that has been affecting some parts of the country since as early as November is making trading conditions even tougher.

You may therefore be particularly keen to support local businesses that you can see are finding it tough to navigate their way through the stormy financial seas.

However, when it comes to buying flowers, you may be torn between providing assistance to local economies and using online flower delivery services that are more convenient for you.

Well, thanks to firms such as us here at eFlorist there is no conflict between the two priorities.

The model of our online flower shop means that we always use local florists, meaning small companies benefit from the custom you send our way.

So, not only can your conscience rest easy in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing, but you will also be able to get your flowers in the way that suits your lifestyle.

Rather than heading out into the cold, miserable conditions, you can place your order over the web and we will send the items you select to your chosen address with no fuss, leaving you to get on with the other important tasks in your life.

Match the Season with Winter Flowers

In many ways, flowers are deeply associated with summer, warmth and sunshine. After all, it is often during the spring and summertime that the delicate scent and colourful petals of such plants manifest themselves most strikingly in our environment.

However, flowers are also great in winter. They can brighten up the dull and dark conditions and provide some much needed cheer to those whose homes and offices they adorn.

So, when you are sourcing such products, either as a gift for someone else or as a treat for yourself, you might want to consider getting an arrangement that reflects the season.

For example, if you use our online flower delivery services here at eFlorist, you can peruse our section of winter flowers to see what takes your fancy.

With bouquets such as our vibrant and warming Winter’s Night and our delicate and subtle Snowflake, there is something to suit everyone’s tastes.

And while you are counting down the days until the warmer weather arrives, you may as well pay homage to the more dramatic and harsh features of our weather.

There is something about flower arrangements designed for the season that really strike a chord. So, if you are planning to order flowers by post, make sure you do not overlook such options. You may well be missing out if you do.

Then of course, when the hotter weather makes its presence felt, you might well decide it is time to change the theme of your floral decorations once more.

Plants Can Make a Great Alternative to Flowers

You may well be in the habit of purchasing flowers for friends, colleagues and family members on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

After all, such offerings almost always go down a treat and light up the expressions of those who receive them. Indeed, flowers must be among the most popular items handed over as presents in the UK and many other countries.

They provide an injection of colour and are an object of beauty. Any room can benefit from the addition of such creations.

However, you might be looking to expand your gift horizons and get something a little different.

Well, one idea is to invest in plants instead. These offerings can be beautiful and also have the advantage of lasting longer, meaning they continue to bring joy to the recipients for many months and potentially years.

For example, using our online flower shop here at eFlorist, you can pick up some beautiful orchids.

We provide them in a range of colours and, just as with our floral creations, our expert florists will deliver them to your door.

So, if you are seeking an alternative gift to hand to your loved ones, why not consider using our online florist delivery service to purchase plants?

To find out more about whether this option is right in your circumstances, simply have a look at the relevant part of our website. Of course, if you decide that flowers are better, there is nothing to stop you buying these instead. Whatever you get is bound to go down a treat.

Don’t Settle for Second Best, Make the Most of Top Quality Flowers

Flowers serve a range of purposes. They can be handed over to congratulate others on various successes or as a gift for a birthday, romantic celebration or for Mothers’ Day.

Meanwhile, such products can also be great as a means of sprucing up an interior space. Homes often feature flowers because of the vibrancy and freshness they bring. Many also add a delicate and sweet aroma to the rooms in which they are based.

And of course it is often appropriate to use floral offerings when you wish to express sympathy after a tragic event.

However, it is vital that you get good quality bouquets, rather than simply picking up the ones strewn in boxes that lie near the entrance of corner shops, supermarkets and garages.

While such items may still have a certain value, they are by no means as effective as the high standard of arrangements you can get your hands on through firms such as us here at eFlorist.

By using online flower delivery services like ours, you will make sure that you get the best floral creations available. This means that neither you nor the person you are sending them to as a gift will be disappointed.

When it comes to flowers, it is certainly not the case that all bouquets are created equal.

To view our impressive creations, simply browse our website. You will see immediately that they are of a higher standard than many of the other options available.

Our online flower shop truly is a cut above.

A Flower in Winter

With the UK often covered in snow, the idea of flowers in winter might seem a little anachronistic. However, far from being out of place in the colder months, a flower can be a great way to brighten up the winter season, for lots of reasons:

Winter is the time of the year when we most like to exchange gifts, and especially during winter. It is as gifts that flowers are at their best, and therefore winter bouquets make lovely gifts all through the winter season. Of course, on Christmas or Valentines Day flowers are particularly appropriate and Valentine’s flowers are still the most popular kind of gift for Valentine’s Day.

Flowers are not just great as gifts of course, they are also highly decorative which makes them a simple but highly effective way to brighten up the home. If you are decorating for Christmas, then Christmas flowers and plants are an excellent way to create the festive atmosphere, especially if you use season colours such as red and green.

As Christmas encroaches, logistical pressures can become intense, and Christmas shopping etc can often become a little overwhelming! Sending flowers is always easy, however, and by choosing an online flower delivery service the process has never been easier, simply choose your ideal bouquet and let us take care of the rest!

So, why not banish those winter blooms with a great bouquet of winter flowers – from eflorist.co.uk

The Plants and Flowers of Christmas

Some things are intrinsically linked with Christmas legend – the Christmas tree, carolling, eating too much, Dad snoring in the armchair during The Queen’s Speech! Flowers hold as relevant a place at Christmas as they do the year round.

Poinsettia
No Christmas wreath is complete without a bright splash of poinsettia flowers! Originally a Mexican winter-blooming flower, the legend tells of a young Mexican child who made a Christmas offering to the humble local church of weeds she’d picked from the side of road. Other children laughed at her feeble gift, but she’d been told that any gift given with love is a good gift. As she placed down the weeds they bloomed forth and became the red (Mexican) poinsettias we cherish today.

Mistletoe
Kissing under the mistletoe evolved from pagan beliefs in mistletoe as being linked with the continuation of life through the winter months. Mistletoe remained fresh and vibrant long after being cut from its bush, garnering the meaning that a kiss under the mistletoe and your love will never die!

Christmas Trees
Lively folks in northern Europe enjoyed decorating the bare branches of non-evergreen trees with bright ornaments during winter to encourage the tree spirit’s spring return. In the late 1700’s it became symbolic to bring evergreens into the house – representing new life. It was Prince Alert who, around 1841, brought the tradition of decorating evergreen trees to Britain from his native Germany.

We can’t supply your Christmas tree via our online flower delivery service (sorry!) but we can offer all the blooms of Christmas in our stunning winter flower selection.
