1-800-Flowers, a song in the heart, Birthday flowers, bouquet of flowers, caring boyfriend, feeling special, special delivery
“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
―
If you recall the first time that M sent me flowers, I felt that 1-800Flowers didn’t do a good job. I wrote about it here: https://blessedwithastarontheforehead.com/2023/03/09/they-are-yellow-but-they-can-also-be-red-they-love-the-sun-and-they-make-my-heart-sing/
On my birthday, I got to my door and there was another box from 1-800Flowers. It was a surprise as we had already celebrated my birthday.
As I opened the box I couldn’t help but expect to see damaged flowers. I was already thinking I would have to tell him about it, and ask him to choose another delivery place.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the flowers individually wrapped in netting. Each flower had a straw holding it up. They were perfect!
My heart is full and happy! I am enjoying the attention and looking forward to the blossoming of this relationship.

“In love, treat your relationship as if you are growing the most beautiful flower. Keep watering it, tend to its roots, give it lots of sunlight, and always make sure the petals are full of color and are never curling. Once you neglect your plant, it will die, as will your relationship.” ― Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

I’ve never seen netting like that (or “individual flower packaging”). Impressive, and a good promo for 1-800-FLOWERS.

Hi Dave,
When delivered in boxes, that is how flowers should come, so they are not damaged. They messed up the first time with the sunflowers, but they got it right this time.
Blessings!

Beautiful Gerberas. Our flowers never come in netting like that, that looks quite good for transporting.
Enjoy them and M.

If they are being sent in a box, then I am always used to them coming in a netting. That is why I was disappointed with the delivery of the sunflowers.
I plan on enjoy every single minute. 🙂

I have seen netting for fruit but never flowers, what a cool idea. The flowers look nice. My daughter loves carnations. I have Tiger lilies to a nurse retiring at the renal unit on Thursday. She has been part of the team taking care of me for 31 years. She was surprised and gave me the nicest TWO hugs. She said lilies have a special meaning for her, her wedding flowers! She will plant these lilies in her garden. For me also the orange tiger lily has special meaning as my mom’s name was Lillian and I think it was one of her favorites. Not the most expensive bouquet and I was concerned I picked wrong but it turned out well and she was surprised. I hope you enjoy your flowers, do you have plants as well? In my teens I had a venus flytrap – now you know I am really weird. Ha! But they are quiet and don’t leave a mess, easy to train. LOL

Hi David
Netting is used when the flowers are delivered in a box. It keeps them from falling apart.
I love how you got the perfect flowers for the nurse. ! They were meaningful to her, as well as to you! I love when that happens!
I do have a few plants at home, but many more at the office. The sun in the office is just amazing. I will be posting pictures of them again soon.
Venus flytraps do sound weird to me – the perfect pet lol
Thank you and blessings to you!

Is it possible 1-800-FLOWERS contracts with different local florists and that this time yours came from one that knew what they were doing?

I think you are right. I think that is depending on the flower availability on a certain location. It is clear that those 2 arrangements weren’t done by the same people.
