Giving your beloved a bouquet of fresh flowers is a romantic and generous gesture. But more people are trying to go beyond the bouquet by showing their nurturing side with a potted houseplant or dried and preserved flowers, leaves and pods.


Highlights
  • Preserved and dried blooms has allowed florists to overcome supply issues brought by COVID-19
  • Some people prefer potted houseplants as gifts, and just like the perfect relationship, with the right amount of love and care, they thrive and brighten homes.
