Sharing Flowers Straight from the Heart

Ask anyone the top gift given each Valentine's Day, and they are likely to guess correctly - flowers! With nearly 61% of people reporting that they plan on buying flowers for the special day, it is far and away the favorite choice. After all, what would Valentine's Day be without flowers? Although the gift is prolific, the type of flowers given can vary depending on our own personal style or the length and nature of the relationship. Although most associate the rose with a February 14th bouquet, there are also many other choices. Stop and Make the Call - If you are planning to have flowers delivered to your sweetheart on Valentine's Day - or even if you plan on picking them up at our Cambridge flower shop - you'll want to order early. Experts say that most people place their orders on February 11, so ordering before then will ensure the exact flowers you desire, and a spot on the delivery schedule.  Read More about Sharing Flowers Straight from the Heart »

If your friend or family member is in a local hospital, you may wish to call to speak with them before deciding upon what to send. Some medical centers have begun to restrict the types of flowers and plants they will allow; either overall, or in certain areas of the building. For instance, most ICU units will not permit fresh flowers; although the maternity ward welcomes them.  Read More about Get Well Flowers and Plants »
