Thinking of You

With next day deliveries a wide variety of flower arrangements can be sent by post to arrive fresh and undamaged to destinations throughout the UK. Traditionally flowers are sent for a specific occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or to express sympathy, however, many people are choosing to send flowers by post to friends and family simply to say ‘I’m thinking of you’ on any day of the year.

Warm summer days have given way to cooler days and thoughts of winter are approaching fast. Sending flowers by post to friends which remind them of holidays, bright sunshine and intoxicating perfumes and scents from far away places is a thoughtful gesture. Blooms of delightful, bright yellow sunflower heads arranged with contrasting green flowers and foliage can evoke memories of lazy summer days, injecting any style of room with a boost of sunshine. These attractive displays look stunning on a coffee table or as a focal point on a dining room table, the flower head’s alternating spiral pattern of tiny florets are intriguing and mesmerising to look at. Most people associate sunflowers as bright yellow with a darker centre and large blooms, however, they are available in different shades including oranges and come in a variety of different bloom sizes, making the smaller ones perfect for using in floral displays.

Roses continue to be a timeless classic, bunches of deep, ruby rich red roses are associated with romance and love which are ideal for people of all ages to express their thoughts and show their affection in a simple yet extremely effective way. A beautiful bouquet of candy pink rose blooms which are waiting to burst open, understated and simply tied these flowers are the ideal solution for sending on any occasion, making a perfect gift for a new mum, aunt or friend. A similar style of bouquet composed in white compliments any colour décor in both traditional and contemporary style homes which can be sent to men or women at any time of the year. A multi-coloured bunch of roses offers a touch of flair which will be appreciated by any recipient. As roses have their own variations of green in their stem and leaves there is no necessity to combine them with other flowers, they make their own statement of effortlessness beauty.

With a wide range of flowers being available throughout the year sending exotic flowers by post is very easy. Striking Sterilities, more commonly known as ‘bird of paradise flowers’ in the UK and ’crane lilies’ in South Africa, with their unusual spiky blooms and vibrant colours offer a touch of tropical uniqueness in a floral display. These beautiful orange and blue flowers are typically arranged simply with deep green foliage, the length of their stems provides an elegant display which compliments tall slender vases. When the flower crest on each bloom begins to wilt they can be gently pulled away and a new crest will appear from the ‘beak’ of the flower extending the life of the display.
