Some send a spring flower delivery to brighten their loved ones’ days. Others go to a garden show. Garden shows crop up at this time of year, when garden flowers are at their most magnificent. The Wichita, Kansas Flower Show took place this week, with several days of displays and vendor booths lending inspiration to gardeners tired of a long, cold winter. You can use a garden show just to cheer yourself up, or set yourself a budget and equip your garden for the year ahead.

Whether you want to grow vegetables or just eye the pretty flowers, garden shows are a great place to start. Sign up for a few catalogs and you’ll also receive mail-order forays into the joys of outdoor living. Many of our daFlores.com customers appreciate a stunning garden, and spend hours grooming their yard until it’s a vibrant, wonderful oasis. We take the same attitude in our international flower delivery service, grooming through lists of florists until we find just the right ones for you.

We think that’s why they appreciate our own spring flowers so much. Remember what we just said about catalogs: Take a look at ours. You’ll see that your first step is to choose a language and country. Then you can browse by occasion and price to find the perfect bouquet. Our partner florists are passionate about what they do, and they work with fresh flowers each morning to bring you a gorgeous spring flower delivery.

While you’re wandering the halls of your local garden show, we wish you all the joy and fun that planning a garden can bring. Don’t forget your loved ones with spring birthdays, not to mention Easter and Mother’s Day. We now work in the United Kingdom, which usually has Mother’s Day a month or so earlier than the USA. Your mom will appreciate Mother’s Day flowers no matter where she lives.

DaFlores.com is ready for its spring flower delivery season. So is Murphys, Calif. The weekend of 12-14 March is daffodil time in the Calaveras County historic town, home to the National Daffodil Show held at Ironside Vineyard. Quaint little Murphys is well worth a visit at any time of year, but the sight of thousands of daffodils can only enhance the experience and add a unique slant to your visit.

There will be themed daffodil displays, juried shows and a wealth of other spring flower-related adventures at the show. Heritage daffodils mingle alongside miniatures and new hybrids. Daffodils, with their cheerful bright trumpets, have inspired poetry and brightened many a hillside. The sight of these spring flowers peeping above the often still-cold ground means that warmth is well on its way. California and Florida, home to daFlores.com, may see “daffydowndillies” a little sooner than, say, Minnesota, but that sense of relief after winter is the same anywhere.

California’s Gold Country has more than one famous daffodil locale, of course. Daffodil Hill near Sutter Creek started off with just a few bulbs and has swelled into a magnificent annual display. The host farm, the McLaughlin Ranch, doesn’t see it as a commercial venture but just a way to bring a little beauty into the world. Over 300,000 daffodils spring forth at this 3000 foot attraction in the Sierra Nevada hills.

We at daFlores.com are ready for spring, too. If you know someone in a colder part of the country, why not send them a beautiful daFlores spring basket? Our international flower delivery service relies on the freshest flowers made by expert artists. We offer great bilingual customer service with local toll-free numbers in all the countries we serve.

You don’t have to wait for Mother’s Day or Easter, though we do offer special bouquets for these flower delivery occasions. Do you know someone with a March or April birthday? Or who’s tired of the winter and could use a little cheer-up in the form of a beautiful flower delivery? Then we at daFlores.com can help you out. Browse our catalog today and find a stunning array of flowers to make anybody’s day better.

International Women’s Day has been celebrated each year since 1911. The special day began as a way to recognize women whose contribution to social, political and economic life has been exceptional. International Women’s Day takes place on March 8 and a wide variety of exhibitions and events is put on to celebrate women both past and present.

In some countries, like China and Russia, International Women’s Day is a public holiday. DaFlores has a wide range of bouquets that are suitable for sending to these and other countries. An international flower delivery is a great way of recognizing the smaller but no less significant achievements of the women in your life, friends and family both.

Usually, there is a theme set by the United Nations for International Women’s Day, though this varies across the world. This year’s theme is “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress for All.” The objective is to implement laws across the board that protect human rights and promote equality of options and opportunities.

Not everyone changes the world in a major, obvious way. Not everyone is a Madame Curie or a Susan B. Anthony. Yet across the world, every day, women are making a difference at the local, familial and individual level. Educators, mothers, counselors and an endless stream of women are why International Women’s Day came into being.

It would be entirely fitting to send the women in your life a flower delivery for International Women’s Day. DaFlores has thank-you flowers that are appropriate for family members, friends, co-workers and of course the love of your life.

There’s something a little naughty about Valentine’s Day, the day when Eros and Cupid have their wicked way. For those who’re a bit cheeky or who want to spice things up, here are a few classic aphrodisiacs that help do just that. Named for Aphrodite, the goddess of love, these aphrodisiacs are sure to make your day.

Chocolate

There’s something magic about chocolate. There’s a secret chemical inside a good piece of chocolate that’s said to increase desire. It certainly has that feel-good effect. And at Valentine’s Day fine chocolates abound. Send a hidden message with one of daFlores’ chocolate and Valentine’s Day flower arrangements.

Oysters

These shellfish are considered to be aphrodisiacs, but they’re not for everyone. Serve up a dish of oysters, though, and the message will get across. Seal the deal with a Valentine’s Day flower delivery to make the occasion special. Dress it up with red and pink decor and all will be very well.

Asparagus

While we’re on an eating jag, asparagus has that reputation. These spears of fine vegetables were even served at wedding feasts. Lightly steamed and served with lemon juice and sesame seeds, they make a fine prelude to the main event.

Truffles

Rare and expensive, and allegedly delicious, truffles are considered aphrodisiacs. They’re very pricey and perhaps out of range, but there are other kinds of truffles. This kind of leads us back to chocolates, and a perfect thing to add to Valentine’s Day flowers. Serve some fine truffles and see where it goes. It’s not going to be boring.

Roses

Our last aphrodisiac comes from the heart, a classic bouquet of Valentine’s Day roses. Neither eaten nor applied, they fill the heart with love and a very good mood. At daFlores we can arrange whatever you need, and make your day very special.

We at daFlores.com hope you enjoyed our brief look at aphrodisiacs and wish you a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Who says that marriage turns out the light? Only if you let it. Valentine’s Day is a perfect day to celebrate a long-lasting romance.

None at all, say we. Set the scene with a Valentine’s Day flower delivery, either to home or work. Even the men in your life might appreciate a floral gift, and daFlores has tasteful Valentine’s Day flower arrangements that are perfect for a man.

Go out to dinner, or have dinner at home. Valentine’s Day flowers make the house smell sweet and add a truly beautiful centerpiece. There’s a lot to say for setting the scene and turning an ordinary day into something special. Start a tradition with a flower subscriptions—we’ll send you flowers for a year. (Where available.) Valentine’s Day can be a reaffirmation of love, the start or end of a lovely twelve months.

Whether you get in a delivery or cook something spectacular, a Valentine’s Day meal at home is great. Ship the kids off to a grandparent, and spend the time alone. Too often couples get wrapped up in their kids’ needs, and forget about time for themselves. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to do that and go to town.

Another suggestion? Pick out a hotel and book the Valentine’s Day deal. Usually extras like chocolates and roses can make the event something else. Pretend you’re right back at the start, dating and freshly in love. It’s amazing what a little time spent together can do, and it sets you up for the year ahead.

Let’s take a look at some of the classic symbols of Valentine’s Day. The shops fill full of them from New Year’s onward, but have you ever thought of the meaning behind these Valentine’s Day items?

Hearts

Everywhere you look are heart-shaped things. The boxes of chocolates and the candies themselves all bear this form. The ancients used to believe that the heart held all emotions, and even today we still ’speak from the heart.’ DaFlores can add boxes of chocolates to your Valentine’s Day flowers, creating the perfect gift.

Cupid

Cute little Cupid shoots off his bow, a cheeky little guy whose love knows no bounds. Like all the ancient tales his story can be a little dark, because love can cause as much heartache as it soothes. But we don’t need to worry about that on Valentine’s Day, as we enjoy all the best of the season. If Cupid’s got your heart and you don’t know what to say, don’t worry: a Valentine’s Day flower delivery from daFlores can say all you need.

Chocolates

Why chocolates? Why candy? Well, it’s sweet, of course. You want to give your sweetheart something special on Valentine’s Day. Trimmed to perfection in their blood-red boxes, these sweet confections tell you that the giver thinks you’re sweet. Several of daFlores’s Valentine’s Day flower arrangements already come with chocolates, but you can add them as options to many a fine gift.

Roses

Ancient and beautiful, the rose is an eternal symbol of love. Everyone from supermarkets to street vendors carry these amazing flowers. Choose red or pink, depending on what you want to say. A single red rose or an armful are all yours for the giving at daFlores.com

Red and Pink

Red, so deep and mysterious, is the color of blood (and Valentine’s Day). Red is for passion, and love, and the heart. Pink is a gentler shade, but equally welcome. That’s why everything on Valentine’s Day are in shades of red and pink. For your Valentine’s Day flower delivery, we can arrange red roses and all sorts of pink and red delights for your beloved recipient.
