Win Fresh Blumz!!!

Flowers have been utilized in many different ways throughout history. They are used to commemorate life, death, happiness, sorrow, love, remembrance, and sometimes they are given “just because”. Flowers are special because they do not last forever. Instead, flowers are an experience. If flowers lasted forever they would just be another item that we can own, but no one can own a flower, they can only capture and appreciate its beauty for a moment in time. The uncertainty, the smell, and the glamour of flowers make giving and receiving them one of the most extraordinary ways to show your love, appreciation or thankfulness to someone else.

Everyone should experience the glory of fresh flowers, so we are giving away a bouquet a month for the next 6 months. We want to give you the priceless experience of fresh blumz. If you would like to enter to win flowers for yourself to enjoy please email your name to sadie@blumz.com . We will draw one name at random at the end of each month and we will email a winner. That person will get to experience what we have been talking about. We guarantee that once you have felt the specialness of flowers you will understand why we love them so much!

Weekly Rose Feature: The Clown Rose

Today is the official kickoff of National Rose Month. In honor of the holiday Blumz by JRDesigns is giving away a dozen roses everyday in the month of June. If you would like to enter to win a dozen roses click here. We are also going to be running some specials and carrying roses in our coolers that we wouldn't usually have in stock. This weeks featured rose is the Clown Rose.

The Clown Rose is a hybrid rose. They typically bloom in the summer months and love the warm weather. They are recognizable by their beautiful spotted pattern. They start out white and get darker at the ends. They come in a variety of colors and are safe to grow in high heat and direct sunlight. These roses grow very fast during the summer season but cannot survive frost, which makes them a risky flower to grow in Michigan.

They are beautiful and hard to come by.This week will will have them in stock at both our Detroit and Ferndale locations. Please give us a call if you would like to place an order for delivery or pick up. You can also come in and design your own arrangement if you would like. Individual Clown Roses are $3.99, a dozen is $49.99 and a dozen vased is $59.99.  It might seem silly to you but you would be surprised how much a bouquet of Clown Roses will make everyone smile!

Blumz by JRDesigns Mother's Day Contest

Did you know that every flower has a meaning?  The type and color of the flowers that you give to someone special can hold a lot of significance if you know the meaning behind the arrangement.  Flowers are always a great gift, but flowers that have a special meaning are even better!

In honor of Mother’s Day, we thought it would be fun to teach all of you the meaning of some of the most common seasonal flowers by creating a contest based on some of our favorite springtime florals. Blumz has compiled a list of the meanings below and we are giving all of you an opportunity to win a special arrangement for Mother’s Day.  Using the meanings of the different flowers listed below,write a paragraph describing what you love or admire about your mother, your wife, or someone that served as a mother figure in your life. For example, I would describe my mother as a Sunflower. She is bright, beautiful and resilient. My mother makes it through the hard times with incredible inner strength and a strong faith.

Now, it’s your turn. Describe your mom, or a mom that means a lot to you. To enter, please write a paragraph and post it on our Facebook page. Remember if you haven't “liked” our page we won’t be able to see your post. Please post it on our wall (not your own wall) and tag Blumz by JRDesigns in the post. We will announce the winner of this contest on May 6th.  The Winner will be able to come pick up an arrangement that will include a few of the flowers that they used to describe the special mother in their life.  Imagine how much it will mean to mom when she finds out the meaning behind the floral arrangement that you give her this Mother’s Day.
