Here is the florist description of the Blue Horizon flower arrangement beauty!

If you are anything like me, you have had your fill of winter. When I have days like this my mind drifts off to daisies. Daisies make me think of warm summer breezes, sunshine, and life. So today I wanted to bring a little warmth to everyone with just a few poetry clips and qoutes on daisies. I hope it brings you the warmth it does me. And if not, take it a step further and order some daisies to be delivered to your door from Brant Florist and bring a little summer into your life a little early.

“There is a flower, a little flower
With silver crest and golden eye,
That welcomes every changing hour,
And weathers every sky.”
James Montgomery, A Field Flower
“The Rose has but a Summer reign,
The daisy never dies.”
James Montgomery, The Daisy–On Finding One in Bloom on Christmas Day
“Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere
Bold in maternal nature’s care
And all the long year through the heir
Of joy and sorrow,
Methinks that there abides in thee
Some concord with humanity,
Given to no other flower I see
The forest through.”
William Wordsworth, To the Daisy
“The daisy’s for simplicity and unaffected air.”
Author: Robert Burns -Source: O Luve Will Venture In
“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” Nadine Stair quotes
“Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.” Drew Barrymore quotes (American Actress, 1975)

If you live in the snow belt, there is no doubt if you are not a fan of snow and cold, you are ready for Spring to appear. One good sign that spring is nearing is the arrival of Tulips. When tulips begin to arrive in abundance to florist in the northern regions, spring is not far behind, about a month and a half away actually. But it does give hope for warmer days to near.
The majority of early Tulips come in from Holland, and if you have ever been to Holland and seen the fields of Tulips you were in awe of their beauty I am sure. If you never have been but love tulips, you may want to put Holland on your places to visit list!
Tulips are the most popular spring flower and symbolize imagination, dreams, a perfect lover, a declaration of love, and fame. To me, they have always symbolized romantic love partially due to their name “tu” – two, “lips” (self-explanatory).
Different colors of tulips also have their own meaning, much like roses. The color and meaning of the different tulips are as listed:
PURPLE: Undying love, Royalty
VARIEGATED: Beautiful eyes; Enchantment
RED: Declaration of love; Believe me;
PINK: Caring; Hopeless love; Perfect love; sunshine in a smile
WHITE: Longing, and forgiveness
To me, tulips are one of perfection. Their simplistic nature makes them almost exotic in a sense and a wonderful gift to receive and send.

The Gillyflower is one of the Dianthus genres. Similar to a carnation in their petal shape, colors, and boldly fragrant, the Gillyflower is a Eurasian plant with pink to purple-red petals that are spice-scented, usually double flowers. They are widely cultivated in many varieties and many colors.
“The Gillyflowers got its name via French giroflée from Greek karyophyllon = “nut-leaf” = the spice called clove. Some say that “gillyflower” originally referred to scented plants that were used in Europe as a cheap substitute for the spice called clove” per Wikipedia
Although the Gillyflower is not a common florist flower, its “cousin” the carnation is. Carnations are one of the longest lasting flowers; available in beautiful colors, and fragrant.
Carnations have long been known to have a love hate relationship with flower receivers. Some look at them as a cheap out from sending more exotic flowers or roses, however others love receiving carnations because they know they will be able to enjoy their beauty for a long time. . Whatever, carnations remain one of the best values in flowers. Throw in a nice card, balloon, a teddy bear, box of chocolates, or what not and although the carnations may be slightly more cost effective, the sentiment is the same – they were sent with the heart.

Orchids can easily be considered a very exotic flower and definitely make a strong impact when gifted to another. Orchids are more unique than most other flowers. Their germination period varies on the habitat and if not optimal, they will not germinate or grow. Some flowers are more forgiving; the Orchid is not. They demand a very specific environment. Therefore, when you have that special someone who is by far more unique than the norm, a flower arrangement of orchids will definitely set you apart from the norm as well. It will leave a prominent impression in the receiver’s thoughts and put a warm feeling in their heart for quiet some time. Receiving orchids is a gift one does not ever forget. Roses are nice; do not get me wrong, but the uniqueness and the exotic flare that orchids deliver is like none other.
