Whatever the flower sending occasion this month we think our Birthstone Bouquet will go down a treat.

Taking inspiration from the Birthstone for February: Amethyst, our expert florists have created a simply gorgeous deep purple, mauve, lilac and cream coloured aquapack flower bouquet packed full of roses, Lisanthus and Chrysanthemums.

A cool, sophisticated and devine arrangement that doesn’t even require a vase!

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to spoil someone special, to show them just how much you really do appreciate all that they do. If you are stuck for words or if words are simply not enough then let the flowers do the talking. Flowers make a beautiful visual reminder of how much you care long after the day itself has been and gone.

With flower gift baskets, gift bags and aquapack arrangements to suit all styles and tastes, we are sure you will find a fantastic floral gift the maternal woman in your life will love.

With prices starting at just £24.95 we believe you will find something that’s just right for the maternal woman in your life, no matter what her style or taste.

For the woman who doesn’t especially like cut flowers we have a potted mini rose plant in a pretty cream painted bucket.

For that just picked from the garden look, we have the aptly named ‘Mum’s Garden’ flower arrangement, which comes complete with a gorgeous cream coloured zinc jug that she can keep and use over and over again.

If you’re looking for something more traditional, then what about the ‘Chic Basket’ – a simply gorgeous combination of colours and textures in the form of roses, brassica and spray carnations in a beautiful flower basket.

For a real statement piece you are spoilt for choice really. You could go for the sumptuous purples, cerises and lilacs to be found in the ‘Vintage Vibrance’ gift bag or the particularly stylish and oh so grand ‘Luxury Lily Vase’. Both arrangements will not fail to go unnoticed.

For something  a little different we have a unique and very sophisticated globe vase posy arrangement, beautifully and lovingly presented with a bear grass swirl and flourish.

Of course if you’re not sure what flowers or colours to choose then just let the names of the bouquets inspire you.

Although it might seem that sending flowers is all a bit of a cliché, these days when social media is taking a firm hold on the world and the way we interact with each other, sending flowers is actually becoming rarer and rarer. Texting, facebooking and even tweeting your affections is very much the norm, which is why we believe if you want to stand out from the crowd and go for WOW then sending your Valentine flowers is actually going to win you big points.

Our Valentine’s Day flower bouquets have been designed by experts, will be individually created and then hand delivered by a local florist who will even hand write your message on a gift card ensuring your gift has that oh so important personal touch that is sure to speak volumes.

So, I guess the big question is: “What kind of flowers do I send?” Well, traditionally Valentine’s Day is all about red roses. A single red rose for a single word “love”. 3 red roses for “I love you” and of course a dozen red roses representing a complete cycle (12 signs of the zodiac, 12 months of the year, 12 hours on a clock face) and therefore “complete love”.

For those who want to break away from tradition then there are always alternatives. We have an incredible range of beautiful hot red, passionate pink and purple bouquets that are simply bound to melt hearts.

But, if you’re looking for something a little extra, then check out our Valentine Flower Gift Sets. An “I love you” balloon, cute brown teddy bear and a box of delicious milk chocolates can complete your flower gift and will certainly stand out, especially if you are sending flowers to her place of work.

Of course if money is no object, then you might be interested in our luxurious red rose bouquets: 2 dozen red roses, or go for full on WOW with 50 red roses, each of these fantastic statement bouquets are completed with a generous sprinkling of Diamante.

Valentine’s Day is not just about red roses though so we have a great selection of less traditional but equally beautiful red and pink bouquets. ‘Pure Passion’ for example is a rich and passionate bouquet of deep reds, purples and pinks.

We’ve also included for the first time a selection of Valentine flower gift sets. Giving some of the more traditional Valentine flower arrangements a bit of a twist, we’ve created a fantastic selection of romantic floral gifts that are sure to make an impact this Valentine’s Day.

But if you’re going for full on WOW this year, then we have just the bouquet for you. ‘Ultimate Love’ is a fantastically generous aquapack bouquet of 50 absolutely stunning red roses, sparkling with Diamante.

Check out our complete Valentine’s Day flower range and our new Valentine’s Day flower gift sets too.

If you are looking for something a little extra special this year we have also included chocolate gift sets to this year’s range. Of course you always have the option to add chocolates of your choosing from our Danucci range to any order and don’t forget the always loveable and ever popular Dixon bear. Also back by popular demand this year, tulip gift bags and wraps.

So go on, make a fresh start to the year and awaken your senses with the scents, colours and textures of our 2012 Spring Flower Collection.

The 23^rd January sees the start of the Chinese New Year, which, legend has it, should be celebrated predominately using the colour red to drive away bad luck.

In preparation for the New Year homes are given a thorough cleaning to wash away any bad luck from the year before and to invite good luck in. Buying new things for the home also symbolises a fresh start and red decorations are thought to bring good fortune, happiness, wealth and longevity to the household.

If you are celebrating the New Year in or if you know someone who is, an ideal gift to give or to decorate the home and welcome in good luck for the year ahead would be a bright red bouquet of flowers. Our Firecracker bouquet is ideal. Click here to order yours today.

Sarah Clerke, eFlorist’s IT Project Manager and former professional florist, set up the day school to demonstrate how to make a Christmas flower table arrangement.

Top Tip: Make sure you keep the foam topped up with water so it doesn’t dry out. The foliage will most likely last longer than the flowers so simply remove any that are wilting and replace with fresh flowers.

We believe that flowers have the power to change people’s lives.
