GAROU Michel SARDOU La Riviere De Notre Enfance



The main thing is to remember the Happy Times Principle. Buy flowers for during good times, buy them occasionally at random to keep her on her toes, and then when things go wrong, your flowers can help make them right again.




GAROU Michel SARDOU La Riviere De Notre Enfance



Beautiful flowers: Because beauty is a matter of taste, we looked for services that offered a large selection of interesting, stylish arrangements. We also tested some bouquets from brands that felt more traditional and classic. When the flowers arrived, we looked for appropriately sized, full blooms. We docked points from bouquets that had wilting flowers, crushed or damaged blooms, or too much filler.


Good packaging: We preferred flowers that arrived well packaged, without broken vases or crushed blooms. Some services included vases, whereas others, such as UrbanStems, sent the flowers in gift boxes. Either way, we gave bonus points if the packaging enhanced the flowers it contained.


In our original 2020 testing, we narrowed the field to services we felt offered the best combination of our criteria: Benchmark Bouquets, The Bouqs Company, Farmgirl Flowers, FTD, 1-800-Flowers.com, Teleflora, and UrbanStems. We ordered a bouquet from each contender, assessing the website, delivery times, packaging, and style. We also noted how fresh the flowers were on arrival and watched how they aged over time. We added the included flower food to the vase and placed each bouquet in bright, indirect light. In addition, we assessed how true the arrangements were to their online photos. After determining our favorites, we then tested them further by ordering bouquets for staffers in Los Angeles, New York City, Minneapolis, and Rochester, New York, and we had them assess those bouquets using the same criteria.


We ordered the Get Well Wishes and the Sunset Bliss floral arrangements, each of which cost about $50 and included vases. The 5% nonmember surcharge and the tax added about $7 to the order. The Get Well Wishes bouquet itself was beautiful but looked nearly nothing like its photo on the site. Where that photo has orange roses, yellow lilies, and purple daisies, the bouquet we received had light pink roses, yellow daisies, small purple flowers, orange lilies, tiny yellow sprigs, and green leafy filler. The bouquet lasted about five days before wilting.


A beautiful bouquet of flowers that starts to wither and wilt after only a few days of enjoyment is one of the most disappointing things. For tips on how to save yours from such a tragic fate, we consulted Nicole Cavender, director of The Huntington Botanical Gardens in Los Angeles.


If you know your recipient has springtime allergies, you should seek out flowers that are low-pollen spreaders. Orchids, azaleas, begonias, cacti, succulents, camellias, hibiscus, hydrangeas, irises, and roses are the best options according to the botanical staff at The Huntington.

This has inspired me to use my old flowers, because the ideas here are helpful! Much appreciated write-up. I want to share a company who help me in delivering the freshest flowers. The Flower Merchant. They have efficient flower delivery service and good flower choices. Once again, thanks!


My husband died at age 53 after a short illness. This was a stunner for me. The first week I went to the grocery after his funeral, I bought a small bouquet of flowers as a reward for making it through the week. I did that for about five years.


I love it when my DH brings me flowers, usually daisies as they are my favorite and make a goodly show for about $5. On occasion he will bring me what I call No Reason Roses. They are always a surprise and never around a holiday so they are really a surprise. Fresh flowers just make me feel good.


I agree, but I also think the scarcity of certain things can make them that much more enjoyable, so I buy flowers rarely and am wildly happy when I get them. On the other hand, I eat dark chocolate every single day.


I love flowers but not at the top of my list. I love finishing a book and cracking open the next. Good ice cream excites me! And because I am a preschool teacher, I love glitter, play doh and unsolicited hugs!! It is a real gift to be paid to be childlike everyday?


If you require flowers for the purpose of using them over the weekend, we suggest placing your order for a Friday delivery. This way the flowers can be received and kept fresh until you're ready to use them the following day.


Burlap is part of the DNA of Farmgirl Flowers. When founder and CEO, Christina Stembel started the company one of the ways she wanted to change how flowers were sold was to reduce the single-use plastic that is endemic in the industry. She drafted a (nearly) shortlist of alternatives to the typical cellophane bouquet wrap and on it was burlap. Born out of her memories of potato sacks that were a dime a dozen back home in Indiana where she grew up, Christina quickly learned that burlap is also compostable, a trait that gave it a leg up over the other materials on her list but especially over plastic.

Having a personal local florist means that, when we need to buy flowers, we head down to their store, select an arrangement, then buy flowers to take home or have delivered. Quick and easy. Why would anyone not want such a simple process?


But what if you need to send flowers to someone out-of-state? You might call on the help of online services like FTD, Teleflora, or 1-800 Flowers. Large retailers and online florists want you to believe their services are always the better and more convenient way.


Blooms come in different grades and that means prices will differ depending on where you buy flowers. Why do you think in some places you can buy a dozen roses for $20 and elsewhere pay double that? Prices are based on the quality of the flowers.


Going to a local florist allows you to build a face-to-face relationship. You get to know someone by name, and they become invested in your life. Often, you get to see many floral arrangements before you buy flowers.


My wife's love language is gift-giving and receiving, but I struggle with buying items like flowers and cards that seem frivolous to me. I want to make her happy, but I also don't want to be recklessly spending our funds. What should I do?


Let me begin by pointing out a feature of your letter that I found especially telling. You categorized buying "flowers and cards" as "reckless spending." Unless you are attempting to crawl out from under crushing amounts of debt and poverty, and from the tone of your letter, I don't think you are, spending $6.99 on a card and $30 on flowers (if even that much) is miles away from "recklessly spending" your money.


But you also acknowledge that the most effective way to love your wife is through gifts. Do you think loving your wife how she needs to be loved is silly and unnecessary? In a way, you answered this question in your letter when you wrote, "I want to make her happy, but I also don't want to be recklessly spending our funds."


I'm sure you mean it when you say, "I want to make her happy," and yet, the word "but" still serves as a line between your competing ideals. If you want to make your wife happy, it sounds like you know what to do: buy her gifts that you personally deem silly and unnecessary because your relationship with her matters more than money.


Now, if I say nice dinners out are unnecessary, you might find yourself nodding in reluctant agreement. Yes, they're nice, but they are probably best seen as a treat. But a treat you still like to give yourself now and then. And as we know, you feel that buying your wife a handful of sunflowers at Trader Joe's for $5 to show her that you love seeing her smile is a frivolous expenditure. 041b061a72
