What is Mother's Day?

Mother's Day is love and appreciation. There's nothing stronger in the world than the love of a mother towards her children. She's the one who was up all night when you were sick. She's the one who was there when you took those first steps and said that magical first word. She's the one who gave up her dreams and went without so you could have it. There was nothing she hasn't or won't do for you.

Mother's Day is the one day of the year where you show appreciation for all that she has done and all that she does. Mother's Day is the day when you say "Mom, today is not about me. It's about you." Of course, there's no way to ever pay her back for all she's done for you, and she
doesn't expect you to. But it doesn't hurt to try.


That's why beautifully arranged flowers are such a fantastic gift for Mom. Their beauty is like her love...

Stop by Field of Flowers to see the wide selection of gifts for Mother's Day, everything from fresh, colorful flower arrangements and lush, long-lasting plant arrangements to gourmet Bundt cakes and our newly introduced handmade chocolates and treats.

Field of Flowers is sure to have that perfect gift you have in mind for the special “mom” in your life.

Lily Celebration!

Lily flowers or lilium candidum was known to be the most significant flower symbol for Christians and that they indicate purity.  In Greek poetry, lily flowers signified tenderness and they were also referred to as the voice of muses. There is even a Greek myth that says how lily was born from the milk of the goddess Hera.  The first description of lily flowers can be traced back from the Chinese Middle Ages, where lily plant blossoms until late autumn and there were three shades, which include red, purple, and yellow.  In Europe, lily flowers were also used as remedy for many kinds of sicknesses and diseases. But, you should be careful if you have cats as pets as lilies can be poisonous to them.

Also, dont forget about our lily celebration going on from February 27th thru March 7th.  We are also having free flower arranging demos on the 27th and on March 6th at 2pm in both our Davie & Boca stores.  No reservations required, just bring yourself, friends & family  and have fun!

One of Our Favorite Times of The Year!

One of our favorite times of the year here at Field of Flowers is our Orchid Celebration, which runs January 16th-January 31st. This is time of the year that we celebrate one of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations, the orchid. One of the most common orchids that's used in the floral industry is the Phalaenopsis orchid, which is commonly used in weddings. There are over 60 or so species in its genus, so working with these flowers can be a joy for a floral designer since there are so many variations of this beautiful flower.

The Phalaenopsis orchid is found in the rain forests of southeast Asia and northern Australia. They thrive in the warm, humid and damp conditions often found in that part of the world, but are flexible enough to be grown indoors and will grow in different light conditions. The plant that produces these amazing flowers is beautiful as well. Most of the Phalaenopsis producing plants can bloom all year long, but its peak time for flowering is spring and summer. A gift of a Phalaenopsis orchid plant can be a gift that gives all year long…

The hybrid of the Phalaenopsis orchid is also widely used in the floral industry, often to make bridal bouquet. Some of the more popular hybrids are the Cottonwood, Oregon City, and Snow City varieties. Like the standard non hybrid Phalaenopsis, there are a lot of gorgeous variations of the hybrid, such as the Brother Kaiser hybrid that has beautiful and exotic yellow petals with a smattering of little red dots on them. Also there is the eye pleasing Brother Little Spotty that is often eggshell white with little pink dots on the petals that look like fairy dust sprinkled on them with love from Mother Nature.

Mere words can't do these flowers justice, so visit our Davie and Boca Raton superstores on 1/23 and 1/30 at 2pm for live demonstrations by our talented designer. At the end of the demonstration, the designer's work is raffled off, so don't miss your chance to get your very own gift from Mother Nature.

Healthy House Plants!

* House Plants Clean the Air
Plants can remove a variety of toxic air emissions including ammonia, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, benzene, xylene and trichloroethytene.



* Plants Make You Happy
House plants make people feel calmer and more optimistic. Interestingly, studies have shown that hospital patients who face a window with a garden view recovered more quickly than those who had to look at a wall.



* Plants Fight Fatigue and Colds
According to a University of Agriculture in Norway study, indoor plants can reduce fatigue, coughs, sore throats and other cold-related illnesses by more than 30 percent, partially by increasing humidity levels and decreasing dust.


* Plants at the Office
Even major corporations and work environments are beginning to catch on that adding plants indoors does wonders for employee health and morale. According to one study published in Rehabilitation Literature, a manufacturing company integrated plants into its office so that no employee would be more than 45 feet from greenery. The result? Company administrators said they noticed enhanced creativity and increased productivity in employees.
