If your mom lives out of town like my mom does, then you know how hard it is to not be able to drop by with a vase of flowers, hug her neck and say I’m thinking of you today! Or, maybe the person you miss and love is your grandmother, your daughter, your sister or your friend… Whoever she is, I’m sure she loves flowers and you wish you could give her some to brighten her day.

Photo Cr. Erica Mueller My mom lives in a very rural area and I don’t have the option of calling up a local florist and asking them to deliver to her home. I’ve known that you could order online, but never having experienced the process, or received flowers this way, I didn’t know what kind of shape they’d be in when they got to mom’s house, so I never ordered her any… till today!

This week I was lucky to be one of 25 bloggers chosen to review a flowerspot.com bouquet! They came today and let me just tell you, they are the prettiest flowers I have ever received. Sorry, Honey, the Walmart and Kroger bouquets just aren’t the same! I immediately un-packaged the flowers, put them in the gorgeous vase with the included flower food, then sat down and placed an order for my mom for Mother’s Day. I’m so excited that I can finally send her flowers and know they’ll arrive safely!

I’m just so impressed with these flowers! They came in a really sturdy box, well padded and snugly packaged to protect the flowers and the glass vase. I could smell the roses before I even opened the box, and when I finally got them out into the light I was tickled to find they’re just buds, barely open, which means they should last a long time!

See my Whrrl Story to view my unpacking and note how much care went into making sure these flowers arrived in such beautiful condition!
