Flowers That Convey Old-Fashioned Romance

Sometimes old-fashioned romance can be hard to come by. We seek it out in old black-and-white photographs or films from a different era, but often we come up short in this fast-paced world. If you know someone who craves the romance of times gone by, try sending them flowers in an arrangement that will take them back to days when romance was in bloom, when ladies waited for men to approach with a determined politeness and rules were in place for a modest courtship. The floral designers at Julia’s Florist have created some gorgeous designs from the romantic era that will sing of art and music like none other.

Healthy, Happy Bees

If you’re looking for a simple way to promote a healthy environment in your own backyard, try including bee-friendly blooms and plants to encourage a balanced eco-system and strong pollination.
