When you select your bouquet and check out, you have the option to say “this is a gift.” If you check this box, you can fill out a personalized message for your recipient.

The best option of all: Somewhere local to your recipient

Nothing says you care like sending flowers to a loved one, and it’s made even more special when you support a small business local to their area. Most places nowadays have an online ordering platform for their arrangements, and it’s as easy as searching “local flower delivery in Town, State.” Often the first few options will be larger companies, but once you find a reliable local service, you’ll be supporting small business owners while simultaneously showing someone how much you care. Best of all, the local nature of the company means you won’t have to worry about the flowers staying beautiful in shipping or overnight delivery because they’ll likely have a same-day or scheduled option.

There’s no wrong occasion for sending flowers or houseplants. If your loved one adores beautiful blooms and indoor greenery, you can always surprise them with something special delivered right to their door!

How to grow celosia and add vibrant color to your garden
These tips will help you keep your plants healthy
Pale orange celosia flowers

Does your home or garden need a burst of color and texture to liven it up? Celosia is the perfect plant! Celosia flowers come in many shades of orange, red, yellow, and pink. There are two primary shapes they come in -- one that is flame or feather-shaped plant and another that is folded in waves, typically called cock’s comb celosia. Both are beautiful and easy to grow, so why not pick your favorite and get started? Here’s everything you need to know to bring this gorgeous flower to your home or garden.
Planting celosia

Celosia is a tender perennial, meaning it is sensitive to the cold. Only plant it after the last frost of the year has passed, or start it indoors. Choose well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter. Celosia can tolerate most soil types, but mixing compost or leaf mulch into the soil before planting can help improve the drainage and nutritional value, keeping your celosia happy. Potted celosia can be planted in any well-draining potting soil.

What you need to know about growing the delicate bleeding heart flower
A care guide for the bleeding heart flower
A branch of pink bleeding heart flowers

Bleeding heart flowers are uniquely stunning, but growing them can be tricky. They get their name from their unique flowers, which dangle off each branch. The flower has a heart-shaped top, with a smaller droplet shape beneath that, giving the plant the appearance of a row of bleeding hearts. If you want to try growing these gorgeous pink flowers in your garden, we’ll show you how. Here’s everything you need to know about growing and caring for bleeding heart flowers.
Planting bleeding heart flowers

Start by choosing a planting site in partial shade and well-draining soil. Direct sunlight can burn delicate bleeding heart flowers, especially in hot climates or during the hottest part of the day. In cooler climates, bleeding heart flowers can withstand more sun, but getting the balance right can take some trial and error. In general, aim for morning sun and afternoon shade. Well-draining soil is important as well, since bleeding heart flowers have sensitive roots. They can develop root rot or crown rot if left in standing water.
