For the very first time, we designed a Halloween bouquet for this spook-tacular holiday. Many of our customers had asked for one in the past so we’re pleased to unveil the 2011 Happy Halloween Bouquet. It’s bright and bold and the best part is its vase. It’s actually a metal candle holder with a skull motif and we filled it with a glass cast insert to make it a functional vase AND a candle holder once the flowers have faded.
If you’re looking for a dazzling treat to surprise someone on Halloween or need something spectacular to enliven an autumn occasion, Calyx Flowers is where you’ll find all the finest fresh-cut flowers, plants, and other designs for fall.

For Tropical Lovers
Make it hot for just the right loved one with a blooming
Tropical Bromeliad Garden, planted with an eye-catching trio of tropical beauties, then placed in a modern design cachepot in a complementary jungle green hue. We’ve found so many of our Flower Lovers are also devotees of these chic plants and here’s why.
Our grower is located deep down in South Florida, nestled between the Biscayne National Park and the Florida Everglades. The hot and humid summer climate along with the mild winters make ideal growing conditions for bromeliads. As they begin to grow they form a spiraling arrangement of leaves which is sometimes referred to as a “rosette.” This gives them not only a unique shape, but an interesting look compared to other ornamental plants.
The BSI (Bromeliad Society International) tells us, “Within the last hundred years, bromeliads have become more widely used as ornamental plants. Originally only found in royal botanical gardens or the private greenhouses of wealthy Europeans, their popularity has spread to the masses. Today bromeliads are more available to the enthusiast than ever before. New species are still being discovered and plant breeders are developing ever more stunning hybrids to choose from.”
Did you know that the most famous of all bromeliads is the pineapple?

It doesn’t happen very often, so here’s a chance for you to send a beautiful bouquet at a significant discount. Today through August 19, 2011, Calyx Flowers is offering the exotic Mistine Dendrobiums at a $25 savings. Send the surprise of fresh cut orchids to your someone special right now and they will receive a ten stem bouquet along with our petite amethyst hobnail vase (a Calyx exclusive).
Did you know that Orchids have long been highly sought after, probably for the unusual beauty of their design? Orchid hunters in the nineteenth century collected them by the ton, and chopped down as many as four thousand trees at one time for the orchids growing on them. Dendrobium is as an unusual name as it is word. It comes from the Greek “dendron” (tree) and “bios” (life) referring to the orchids’ epiphytic habit of attaching to tree branches. The dendrobium family is generally believed to contain the largest number of species, somewhere around 30,000.
To take advantage of the August Luxury Rewards offer, click here and use code CFGS811 at checkout to receive your $25 discount.
Do you have a favorite Calyx Flowers’ bouquet or plant that you would like to see in a future Luxury Rewards Grower’s Special?

“The life and love we create is the life and love we live.” – Leo Buscaglia (aka Dr. Love)
What? You’ve never heard of National Resurrect Romance Week? Let’s take a look at this interesting holiday and its meaningful intentions. First of all it is celebrated the second full week in August which is six months after Valentine’s Day has passed. This year August 14 – 20 is the official Resurrect Romance Week. Michael Webb, called by the media “The Martha Stewart of Romance”, established the holiday in 1995 because he felt the need to create a romantic holiday that for once did not focus on money and “things.” Webb wanted people to equate romance with time and attention which was something he exalted on his website, TheRomantic.com and as author of The Romantic’s Guide and 12 other books on love, dating, romance and relationships.
People in countries around the world have embraced the holiday and have made it a practice to spread the love this week. It’s a feel-good time where you can dedicate yourself to surprising that someone special in your life with romantic gestures big and small. Of course we at Calyx Flowers couldn’t pass up the chance to say that we feel flowers are a quintessential part of the romance department!
Are you a fan of romance? If so, how will you proclaim your love next week?
Resurrect Romance Week is August 14th - 20th.
