Flowers for mother's day ... again?!


Mother’s Day is coming – yes, the time when we want to show a special attention to our mother but don’t always know what to give. Motherhood is all about the practical stuff – for mother’s day, why not give something that’s all about pleasure?

Call us biased, but we think flowers are perfect! There are flowers and flowering plants for all tastes and all budgets, they fit in any home and they are 100% gift. No wonder, then, if flowers are always a popular gift for mother’s day!

Before ordering, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What are your mom’s favourite flowers? Are there any flowers whose colours, shape or smell she really likes? Roses, orchids and lilies are always favourites.
  • Would your mom prefer flowers or a flowering plant?
  • Does you mom already have vases or should you send one? You might prefer to send flowers in a vase so she doesn’t need to worry about arranging them. Floral arrangements are also easy to handle and to care for.
  • Will she be at home on mother’s day, or should you send the flowers in advance?

Administrative Professionals Week

Administrative Professionals Week, April 21 to 26, 2008, formerly known as Secretaries Week, started in the USA in 1952 as an annual observance to honor those in the profession for their contribution to business and the government.

This is a special time to say thank you to all those who make the daily office routine easier. What better gift than flowers to brighten up the desks!.

We, at The Flower Pot have been preparing floral gifts for many years for this occasion. 15 years ago we chose orchids as the prefered flower for the week.

We have created arrangements with many different species of orchids. From dendrobiums, to oncidiums, arachnis and wanda orchids. However our preference is still the Queen of orchids, the Cymbidium orchid. A majestic, exotic flower which will last for many days.

Besides flowers, plants or chocolates will be greatly appreciated.

We will be working the weekend before to be ready to deliver orders on Monday to be enjoyed all week.

Wednesday is the actual day, but many bosses prefer that we deliver on Friday only. By doing so, the gift will be taken home.
