I love flowers.

It’s that simple. Fresh flowers lift my mood. I love living in Florida, because there is always something fragrant and colorful blooming in my yard. I love being given cut flowers as a gift, because they make the whole house feel happier and they don’t need storage space in the closet after I’m done with them. Flowers are some of my favorite of God’s creations.

My ex husband sent me flowers various times throughout the year. I’d miss that if it were not for the fact that most of my best friends and family also send flowers often, so I am rarely without my little bouquets of happiness.

I send my fair share of fresh flowers as well. I love giving gifts, but I am very sensitive to the fact that most of the people in my life have most of what they need. Not many of them need more candles, jewelry, and figurines to clutter up their homes. So, I like to give consumable gifts like food, bath products, and fresh cut and potted flowers.

1800flowers is one of my favorite vendors. They’ve been around a long time, have a great reputation, and reliable delivery. They even have a good selection of organic gift ideas. There are a LOT of places online to buy flowers, so I go with the theory that you may as well stick to a company with a great track record.
