Flowers promote mental health, bring happiness to people of all walks of life, and summon up genuine smiles. Florists, customers, researchers, governments (in Czech Republic, they're considered an essential business during their lockdown!) all over the world know the power and impact that fresh flowers have on us.

We here in Chicago will be open as long as we can be open to help provide some much needed touch of happiness in our lives. Flowers and plants ARE essential to our well-being, especially while isolating ourselves in a world run on social interaction.

Read about this florist in NY:
"As the pandemic has altered daily life, McDermott’s business has seen a dramatic loss. However, she said she has to keep opening because the flowers are essential to the community.

“I could not leave with myself to turn a family away that is mourning because flowers provide so much to people you don’t realize. Right now people need a little bit of a smile,” McDermott said."

Now more than ever do our loved ones and communities need to know that we care, we're here, and we will get through the uncertainties that are facing each and every one of us for the foreseeable future.

For over 30 years we have brought joy and happiness to people's lives through our talented floral designers. From customers who had us do their wedding flowers, to later on do their children's wedding flowers, to daddy-daughter dances, graduation celebrations, Super Bowl parties, welcomes and congrats for new jobs, well-wishing retirements, holidays from all over the world, to birthdays, dog birthdays, Mother's Day arrangements sent from the cat, for openings of theatre performances, grand openings or re-openings of businesses, to the lobbies of residential buildings and companies, and sympathies, pet sympathies, celebrations of life, "I'm Sorry" (sometimes "I'm REALLY Sorry") and secret admirers, get wells, thank yous, just becauses, random acts of kindness and everything else.

We're a small business, so things are certainly uncertain right now. We're here to help make your day and the day of your loved ones for as long as we can and are able. 💐

Let us know what we can do for you!

With all the chaotic uncertainty reaching across the world right now, it has many people in a place of stress, restlessness, and ill at ease. Flowers and plants are shown in study after study to improve mood and health of those around them, this list from Country Living Magazine features a few that help encourage a more healthful state of mind.

So if things seem like they all turned down and around, backwards and inversed—maybe you're stuck working from home, kids stuck learning at home, feeling unwell or known someone that does—or if you just want to add something fresh and lively for that extra boost, give us a call or an email to send some flowers or plants!

P.S. We deliver to the city as well as 150 suburbs, for that floral beauty to reach far and wide!

Including a beautiful bloom that reduces stress and anxiety
