One thing that is always certain to make me smile, is having flowers around the house. They really can speak a thousand words. We all have a reason at some stage to say it with flowers. Whether it is as a sorry, thinking of you, happy birthday, get well. There are so many times they would be gratefully received.
This week has been a very emotional week, as we had to have our dog put to sleep. We have been through this many times before as our dogs always lead a happy life and get to old age. For some reason losing Max has hit us very hard. He was a dog in a million. So receiving a bouquet from eflorist, came at the right time. Especially as they were tulips, one of my favourite flowers.
As you know from previous posts I do love flowers, and have had bouquets from eflorist previously. The bouquets have always arrived with the flowers healthy. Am sure you know what I mean, as have had flowers delivered before that are nearly dead. They are secure in their packaging, and always last well.
I received their Simply Tulip bouquet which is stunning. One tip for keeping tulips from wilting is to pin prick each one just below the flower bud. This does work and gives them a lot longer life. The bouquet also came with some Lindt Chocolates which I never say no too.
