I absolutely love flowers. With Roses, Stargazer Lilies, and Orchids being my top 3 all time favorites! What a delight it was to receive the Martha Stewart Lily Meadow Bouquet this week. I decided a special bouquet needed to be displayed in a special vase. I placed the bouquet in a crystal vase that belonged to my Grandma, and placed a photo of her next to it!

(NOTE: It is NOT OK to re-post or publish the photo above ANYWHERE!)

It would be absolutely selfish of me not to spread the love! So there is definitely a giveaway for YOU! I thought it would be great for a lucky Ascending Butterfly to enjoy a holiday bouquet of their own. With a huge variety to choose from and amazing customer service, it's a no brainer to send flowers with 1-800 Flowers.com.

Here is a photo of the same Bouquet straight from the 1-800 Flowers website:

I wanted to show both photos to show that it arrives with many un-opened flowers so your bouquet will bloom over the course of several days. But here is a picture of a fully in bloom version of the bouquet. Absolutely stunning!

I have both received and sent flowers with 1-800 flowers and have always been delighted. The fragrance is amazing, I can smell my flowers without even getting close to the vase!
