Candy Stripes Bouquet
The Spring season is a time of rebirth and growth so we wanted to bring to life a new colorful, happy bouquet. One that would make a statement. One that conveyed cheer and could be sent for a variety of gift giving reasons. And finally, one that would look great in your home if you ordered it for yourself. The result is is our new Candy Stripes Bouquet that we definitely think fits the bill.
The hand painted ceramic vase from Portugal is filled with a colorful palette of flowers that arrive in bud and bloom and come to life right before your very eyes. It has a sweet and spicy fragrance from the mulit-blossomed stock. The Asiatic lilies are magnificent when in full blossom. And of course, the roses are quite lovely in pastel pink and lavender.
Candy Stripes Bouquet is wonderful because it’s appealing to a wide age group and it’s a great choice for a variety of flower sending occasions. Think Easter, Mother’s Day, birthdays and our favorite, just because.

- Bunny Calla Lily Plant
It’s a wonderful time of the year and the warmer winter most of us experienced has brought beautiful blooms to our gardens sooner than expected. Spring is here and
Easter is right around the corner.
With the Easter holiday in mind we had to share this classic holiday look . We think everyone will love it. It’s the new
Bunny Calla Lily Plant at CalyxFlowers.com and we’re giving it “Best Flower” for the week. Don’t you just love a beautiful bunny rabbit? Aren’t calla lilies so intriguing? When we incorporated the two together it turned into a true celebration of Easter!
Although the “Easter Bunny” part of the holiday is separate from the Christian tradition of honoring the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead, we like that we’ve filled it with a
calla lily. White callas are believed to be a symbol of Jesus’ Resurrection, as the shape of the blooms bear a resemblance of trumpets, and the trumpets stand for victory.
So there you have it. The bunny gets best flower. Happy Easter!

The Best Flowers winner this week brings us a total floral experience for all the senses.
Best Flower is awarded to our friends at Walt Disney World as the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival sprouts into full bloom. This year’s event is all about flowers and is being presented by HGTV which makes it extremely popular for the flower and gardening enthusiast as a full series of educational and designer presentations are planned through May 20,2012.
We love this time of year at Disney because flowers are the focus. What could be better than finding a Tinkerbell topiary as you meander through the park? Our must-see, the Bambi Butterfly House!

Could it be the luck of the Irish? St. Patrick’s Day will be celebrated this Saturday, March 17th and wouldn’t you know that we’ve discovered a way to save on our new Lucky Day Green Dendrobiums , a bouquet of fresh-cut orchids. Now through March 14th, enjoy great savings of up to $15 off your order. The more you send, the more you save.
We created the Lucky Day Green Dendrobiums as an homage to St. Patrick’s Day, a national holiday in Ireland that honors the patron saint of the country, St. Patrick. The bouquet of multi-blossomed orchids plays off the traditional emblam of this Irish holiday – the green shamrock. St. Patrick was known for using the 3-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Christian Holy Trinity. The orchid blossoms have been color enhanced to the same bright shade of green as a shamrock. O’ so clever, don’t you think!
It's Irish! Lucky Day Green Dendrobiums
To take advantage of our St. Patty’s Day special, visit CalyxFlowers.com today and use code CFSPRING3 at checkout. It’s your chance to make someone feel lucky and loved this week when they receive their beautiful bouquet. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from us to you!

Daylight Savings Special Offer from Calyx Flowers
Being a Luxury Rewards Member definitely has it perks and this weekend is one of those times. Calyx Flowers is offering customers the chance to “Spring Forward” this weekend and send our fabulous Spring Orchid Plant for only $19.95.
This truly special orchid is of the dendrobium variety, yet it surprises with atypical blooms resembling those of the phalaenopsis. Nestled in a terracotta cachepot, the beautiful orchid makes a wonderful gift for any spring occasion. This is a limited time offer, so you need to hurry and shop now to receive this exclusive product and unprecedented savings!
Fun fact: 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.

Lilly in Bloom
- Natural Floral Inspiration
Being that Calyx Flowers was founded as a direct-from-grower flower catalog back in 1988, we love to see how different catalog companies use flowers in their catalog layouts. With that in mind, this week’s “Best Flower” goes to two catalogers who we think really used flowers to bring beauty and life to their product pages.
First we have Tea whose tag line is “for little citizens of the world.” This creative cataloger used fresh flowers in the hair styles of many of their darling models. We love the orchid ensemble of phalaenopsis and cymbidiums with greens that graced the March cover model. Fresh-cut orchids have always been a Calyx Flowers’ customer favorite and we wonder if our customers might use the blooms to fashion a new ‘do.
Next up we have the vivacious Lilly Pulitzer whose Spring 2012 catalog was flower fierce. Titled “Lilly in Bloom”, this cataloger used flowers throughout the pages in bright hues of hot pink and green. A background of lush of peonies really caught our attention and added a lot of drama to their fashion designs in our opinion. Well done!

Each Wednesday Calyx Flowers is going to highlight the very best in flowers. It could be an elaborate floral display in London or a simple but eye-catching way to use flowers that we think is brilliant. It could be the floral pattern from a high fashion designer to a lively look at flowers from an obscure artist. We encourage all of our Flower Lovers to get involved and submit ideas for this new, weekly blog post. Read on to find out who was awarded the very first “Best Flower”!
- Stacy Keibler in Marchesa at the 2012 Academy Awards
And the “Best Flower” at the 2012 Academy Awards goes to….Stacy Kiebler. George Clooney’s date to the Oscars this year wore a stunning gold Marchesa gown. The floor length creation was simply spectacular as the rouching in the gown was designed into the shape of a flower at the side of her waist. It was unexpected and we loved it.
Remember, we would love to hear from all of our readers. Send us your ideas for “Best Flower” today.

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.
