10 tips for buying flowers for your sweetheart

1. You can never go wrong with a dozen roses
Roses, along with candy and chocolate, are one of the most cherished symbols of Valentine's Day. And red roses are, of course, the I Love You standard. Note, however, that you will pay a premium for them on this day.

2. They don't have to be red
Beautiful red roses are not the only Valentine's Day flowers you can send. Colours of Valentine's Day include red, pink and white, so pink and white roses also work well, as do yellow ones.

3. Get creative
Make Valentine's Day a memorable one by reaching out with a fresh-cut bunch of tulips on February 14th to say I Love You or I'm thinking of you on this special day. Other flowers such as camellias, azaleas and forget-me-nots work well, too.

4. Put a little thought into it
Show that you put a little more thought into the flowers. Instead of dialing 911-RedRoses, think about an exotic flower like a showy orchid stem.
5. Different flowers convey different meanings
Globe Amaranth sends the message of unfading love to your sweetheart; violet and yellow jasmine shows modesty and simplicity; daffodils and daisies are a nice way to show gratitude.

6. Get her what she likes
If she really loves peonies, forget the roses and knock yourself out – send her a dozen of these in her favourite colour instead.

7. Brighten up anyone's day
Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers. Surprise a coworker with bright sunflowers, your child's teacher with carnations, or a friend with a bunch of lilacs.

8. OK to send a guy flowers?
Sure, go ahead and send him flowers, but think first. What kind of guy is he? Is it something he would really like and appreciate? Maybe game tickets are more his style? An MP3 player?

9. Stay away from potted plants
Some are beautiful, and it's true, they last much longer than cut flowers, and you get more for your buck, but cut flowers say, "I threw caution to the wind. I did not do the sensible thing today. I send you these because today, I am thinking with my heart, not with my head."

10. What if someone is allergic to flowers
Now it's time to use your brain – stay away from flowers. Again, candy, chocolate and theatre tickets can be just as sweet on Feb. 14. [ taken from http://www.canadianliving.com/ ]

Nature's Best Bouquet

After reading prior reviews I felt confident about placing this order since people mentioned next day delivery. But I did it late in the day on a Friday (for a birthday the following Wednesday) and was perturbed to see the order wouldn't go out until the following week. Then I got an acknowledgement email that said it would not ship until Tuesday, with a two to six day delivery window, i.e., Thursday at the earliest. Sigh!

To my amazed and more-than-pleased surprise, the flowers were actually delivered on Tuesday! According to my sister, they come direct from Honduras, Holland or Costa Rica ... hers came from Honduras. And that's the small part of this five-star rating.

The flowers were absolutely fresh, lavish/plentiful, beautiful, with wonderful colors ... everyone in her office raved about them, with one woman able to specifically identify a special Honduran rose she was familiar with. The price is great, too, especially in view of what you get.

I certainly know where I will be ordering flowers in the future. My sister, too. We're both completely thrilled and pleased.

Succulent Container Gardens: Design Eye-Catching Displays with 350 Easy-Care Plants (Hardcover)

With their colorful leaves, sculptural shapes, and simple care, succulents are beautiful yet forgiving plants for pots. If grown in containers, these dry-climate jewels—which include but are not limited to cacti—can be brought indoors in winter and so can thrive anywhere in the world. 

In this inspiring compendium, the popular author of Designing with Succulents provides everything beginners and experienced gardeners need to know to create stunning container displays of exceptionally waterwise plants. The extensive palette includes delicate sedums, frilly echeverias, cascading senecios, edgy agaves, and fat-trunked beaucarneas, to name just a few. Easy-to-follow, expert tips explain soil mixes, overwintering, propagation, and more.

Define your individual style as you effectively combine patterns, colors, textures, and forms. Discover how top designers interpret the dramatic options, in ideas ranging from exquisite plant-and-pot combinations to extraordinary topiaries and bonsai. Expand your repertoire with plump-leaved plants that resemble pebbles, stars, and undersea creatures. Short on space? Create vertical gardens and hanging baskets, and use daisylike rosettes in wall displays.

Each of the more than 300 photographs offers an inspiring idea. A-to-Z descriptions cover 350 of the best succulents, plus companion plants. Whether your goal is a gorgeous potted garden for a sunny windowsill or outdoor living area—or simply making great gifts—this is a comprehensive primer for creating vibrant, living works of art.

Living Wreath, The (Paperback)

Creating wreaths that last for months or years is the astonishing premise behind Teddy's living-wreath concept, perfected over many years of experimentation. One of the wreaths featured in this book is over twelve years old.

Making your first succulent wreath the "mother" of numerous wreath offspring is a how-to accomplishment explained in simple directions and step-by-step-photos. From diminutive to awesome, wreath scale can range from just inches to six feet in diameter from a plant list limited only by your imagination.

Snip fresh salad and cooking herbs from a wreath in your kitchen or take a cue from Teddy's charming garden alfresco picnic featured in the book. The long table's centerpieces are living salad wreaths, and the cutlery includes wee scissors at each guests' place setting for a memorable "create your own" dining experience. After the picnic, the lettuce plants grow new leaves, just as they would in the garden bed.

Create Teddy's living wreaths as fun family projects and community-group gift-making activities. The symbol of the wreath is the circle that brings us together in cooperative celebrations of our relationships, nowhere more eloquently expressed than with Teddy-inspired living wreaths for holidays, marriages and anniversaries, birthdays, sweet sixteens, and religious events on a simple to a grand scale.

Indulge in the new gardening hobby you've been waiting for, and share it with your friends!

RoseFeather Handmade Feather Roses - 6pc Gift Box

The Original RoseFeather© is a hand crafted rose made up of 23 individually cut real goose feathers. Each individual rose takes over 20 minutes by a skilled artist to create entirely by hand. The production process is a delicate artform that takes years of practice and skill to perfect. It is a multi-stage process that uses specially designed scissors, tweezers and custom tools to create using exactly 23 feathers. The process takes the average artisan about 20 minutes from start to finish. A dozen roses takes 4 hours to create! The Original RoseFeather© starts in the same place that a nice bed comforter starts...goose feathers. We harvest real goose feathers which start off pure white and get dyed to the colors of both the leaves and the RoseFeathers© that are in season. For Valentine's Day each feather is dyed to a rich, ruby red color. The first step in producing a single rose starts with the green feathers. It takes 10 feathers and several tools to shape and connect the feathers to look like stem leaves. We use special angle scissors to create the jagged edges of leaves just like a real rose. The top of the stem has life-like sepals just as a real rose would have as well. Once the stem and leaves are formed, the corolla of the flower is created using 13 feathers and a patient hand. Just like a real rose, the petal cluster is very delicate. If squeezed, the shape of the rose is difficult to repair. The rose is the ethereal flower and should be treated gently to preserve its life. After assembly is completed, the fragrance of real roses is added to create to sense of a true rose. Hold it to your nose and you will smell the freshness of a bouquet of roses. We now offer our hand crafted RoseFeather© roses in gift boxed sets which are custom packaged per order! Each gift box includes a certificate explaining the beauty of the RoseFeather© and a little about the production process and how to care for your RoseFeathers©.
