Overnight Flowers aims to keep their flowers as affordable as possible. They want everyone to experience what it’s like to send and receive flowers and try to keep that process as simple as possible. Their team is prepared to fulfill even the biggest expectation because they’re already focused on the fresh quality of their blooms.

Benchmark Bouquets

Benchmark Bouquets is a unique flower delivery service with their main online platform on Amazon. Many of their arrangements will ship in their bud stage straight from their farm. Benchmark serves as the farmers, designers, and distributors of their arrangements, helping to ensure the longest life possible for your loved one’s arrangement. Most arrangements come with a vase, so you won’t need to worry about finding a separate one.

When you select your bouquet and check out, you have the option to say “this is a gift.” If you check this box, you can fill out a personalized message for your recipient. When the flowers arrive, they’ll know exactly who the gift is from (or not, if you want it to be anonymous!) and instantly feel your love. Because their shop is on Amazon’s platform, Benchmark Bouquets has the ability to offer overnight shipping for Prime members Monday through Thursday if they’re placed before 1 p.m. EST; however, they don’t offer deliveries on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

The best option of all: Somewhere local to your recipient

Nothing says you care like sending flowers to a loved one, and it’s made even more special when you support a small business local to their area. Most places nowadays have an online ordering platform for their arrangements, and it’s as easy as searching “local flower delivery in Town, State.” Often the first few options will be larger companies, but once you find a reliable local service, you’ll be supporting small business owners while simultaneously showing someone how much you care. Best of all, the local nature of the company means you won’t have to worry about the flowers staying beautiful in shipping or overnight delivery because they’ll likely have a same-day or scheduled option.

There’s no wrong occasion for sending flowers or houseplants. If your loved one adores beautiful blooms and indoor greenery, you can always surprise them with something special delivered right to their door!

Around Lunar New Year (January 22), you’ll find winter blooms in stunning displays in Asian markets and stores. Besides lucky bamboo and money trees, it’s a season marked by vibrant orchids, peonies, and mums. Some people like to keep it simple by arranging their flowers in minimalistic pots, while others embrace the holiday spirit by adorning their plants with charming ornaments and red envelopes. However you like to flaunt your blooms, you’ll have a range of choices for Lunar New Year flowers that represent fortune and new beginnings.

For context, cut flowers and white flowers are often associated with funerals in Asian cultures, so some people avoid them during the new year. That said, the rules aren't set in stone, so pick flowers as you see fit. You also don't need to worry about getting your flowers too early because it's actually auspicious if they bloom at the beginning of the new year as opposed to before it.

Where is climate zone 10?
Before we get into the specifics of climate zone 10, let’s talk about the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.
