A few days ago, Netflix suggested I watch The Stepford Wives - why exactly, I’m not sure, but - I listened.
Not too far into the movie, I began to realize that this movie was no joke when it came to flowers. In practically every single scene, there were flowers - everywhere! Behind actors, on tables, mantles, dresses, hats, in hair, landscaping…everywhere. I found myself concentrating more on the beautiful background than on the movie itself (which isn’t the worst thing because let’s be honest, this isn’t an Oscar-worthy cinematic adventure).
While it may not be an Oscar-worthy cinematic adventure, it’s definitely worth a watch for any flower-lover. Check out some - trust me, there’s more than what you see here - of my favorite screen shots…
It’s International Women’s Day! Surprise your favorite lady with some beautiful #spring #flowers to match this beautiful day! #theflowershow #womensday

2012 Memorial Day Flowers!
Check out this short video highlighting last year’s incredibly successful Memorial Day Flowers event. Participating in the Memorial Day Flowers “Florists & Community” program is an excellent way to connect with your community and honor those who served. A single rose, placed on a headstone, is a floral expression of appreciation.
Memorial Day 2012
- 50,000 roses were donated by farms and distributed by 84 florists at 95 cemeteries or ceremonies in 26 states.
- The cornerstone of the 2012 event was Arlington National Cemetery. 60,000 Ecuadorian roses and 2,000 California Bouquets were handed out by 120 volunteers.
2013 Goal
- The Memorial Day Flowers “Florists & Community” program has expanded and will be offered to two hundred florists nationally.
- Participating florists will receive 400 roses, a Memorial Day Flowers banner, and 200 informational handouts.(There is a space on the back of the handout to place your shops’ information.)
There are several ways to use the roses you will receive within your own community:
- Contact your local Veterans’ Cemetery and set up a table to distribute roses to visitors.Each visitor will be given two stems of roses: one to place on a headstone and one to take home in remembrance of afriend or relative. Optionally, you could provide a service for families that are unable to visit by sending a digital picture of the rose lying on the headstone.
- Distribute roses at your local Memorial Day parade or ceremony.
- Place a sign under your shop offering a free Memorial Day rose to anyone who comes in on the proceeding Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Your 400 roses are donated by South American and U.S. rose growers. For Delaware Valley Floral Group customers, there is no charge, as DVFG will pick up the freight and handling cost.

We are very excited about the attention Memorial Day Flowers has been getting and we are very thankful to those who participated this year. Please share your stories and photos with us any way you can! We will be working hard all year to make MDF is even more recognized and successful next year!
