Oh, Father’s Day, that day where we all try valiantly to envision—and then find—the perfect gift for dad. Our fathers can be the hardest of the bunch to buy for; they don’t tend to tell us what they want, so we have to take a careful inventory of their hobbies and interests and select something in that vein. It can feel like the hero’s journey to discover the perfect present on Father’s Day, but it’s worth it when we do for the smile it brings to our dads’ faces. Here at Norfolk Florist, we have a solution for the tricky path toward giving something great—and yes, it’s green.
Hint: it’s flowers.
Norfolk Florist won’t make any bones about it—we’re here to put flowers in your hands and no more so than on an occasion devoted to celebrating friendship. June 8 is National Best Friend’s Day, so it’s time to single out that singular person and give them some gorgeous flowers. You want something that will speak to the quality of your friendship, which is characterized by always being there for each other, insider jokes, awesome memories. A bestie shows up for the good and the bad; the floral gift you offer them should be just as meaningful.
There are some flowers that, while available during other parts of the year, just make sense for summer. And then there are others that belong definitively to the warmer months, blooming then with abandon. It’s this latter category that Norfolk Florist wants to peek ahead at, for no other reason than that we’ve got summer on our minds. We’re steeped in spring and enjoying every last aspect of it, but we’re excited for the pool parties and grill-outs, the travel plans, the longer days and the sunshine. So what’s summer’s iconic flower? Only that dazzling showstopper the sunflower.
Many of us spend the long Memorial Day weekend getting together with friends and family. There are commemorative events to remember the fallen heroes in our lives, backyard barbecues and pool parties, parades, dinners and other celebrations. Norfolk Florist knows that many of these events require flowers that speak to the poignant occasion, while others call for something a little more summer-inspired. After all, we’re on the cusp of that season, and it’s hard to resist enhancing our outdoor spaces with bright flowering plants.
