Stages of a design... Knowing your client and their home help a lot!
Designing to me is like a very resourceful and innovative chef-
A little bit of this and a little bit of that and a lot of imagination and "colors" used in good taste and let the natural movements of flowers dictate to you!

Do you happen to have a vase, container, cachepot, vessel and sitting around that you have been trying to fill? Well, see below. Filled with adorable little orchids, they give so much happiness to an area in your home needing some light. So easy to care for, phalaenopsis orchids don’t need to be watered as much as most people think and don’t require much attention either. Bring in your favorite container! You’ll be glad you did.

If only a florist’s work table can talk🤔 it’ll probably say being a silestone table at Mayflowers is an unbelievable experience with all the beautiful special flowers and arrangements it sees each day, the wonderful clients that come to visit, the music playing in the background, all the complimentary products for use with fresh flowers and the staff with their big smiles no matter how long the days they work and still do a great job to surprise clients and at the end of the day cleaned and polished so it’s ready for another beautiful business day😃😎😊

A mini garden arrangement to enjoy. A gift like this will be enjoyed for days and days. The cut flowers will take turns saying “adieu” while the cut echeverria will take moisture from them and the water in the vessel. Sitting on a cholla branch, but first remove water from the vessel, this art piece can be then displayed in your home for as long as you take care of them- just lightly mist once every 10 days.
Any interest in one on one virtual class? Message me.

Peonies are still coming strong and weather forecast for this week will help keep them from opening quickly and gone too soon. We have experienced this in the last five years when we got short Spring and immediately change to the hot Summer weather. Enjoy the cool weather flowers this year! We carry locally grown peonies and thinking ahead, we will have more peonies possibly until the end of June through mid- July.
Pick-ups are available as usual but please order ahead by simply calling us or through our website:

This was how my day started yesterday. Forgive me my ignorance on how to do a video. Somehow the organic version is somewhat fun and hope you’ll like this one especially.

Hi everyone! Just want to share a video of fresh poppies I bought today at a local farm and help start your Monday:) hope it does anyways. We just received so many Spring flowers finally again from Holland and handled very carefully. When you order and after receiving a delivery, you should consider leaving the product outside for at least 2-3 hours or wipe down packaging disinfecting wipes. We do after the arrangements are made so no worries about the inside.

I was singing “Oh Solo Mio” while rolling this cart full of beautiful flowers yesterday.
Thank goodness for flowers! It’s so quiet outside everywhere but I have been delivering to houseful of people- families finding so many different ways of keeping busy and learning surprising things that have otherwise been missed! Just like the old times:)

Palm Sunday is this week- end and the final week of Lent. The palm leaves are significant because they were placed in Jesus path before his arrest.
The reason why I am posting about Palm Sunday is because I have gotten so many calls and inquiries on where to get palm leaves at this time. Due to the pandemic, floral wholesalers have closed temporarily and no one to buy palm leaves from!
I’m this I have suggested to everyone calling to go to green houses or I have see palm plants at Home Depot. You can shave some of the leaves off and still keep the plant at the same time. This is a clever way to have have them during this pandemic. Below is a picture of a good majesty palm to give you an idea what you can look for.
I hope this helps:)

May Bernhardt sharing on making a floral arrangement

Hi everyone, this was an impromptu and not rehearsed video but I thought to help out with everyone’s boredom, I’m sharing an arrangement I made for a client for her birthday. I hope you’ll like it. The other half will follow on the next post.
Sorry for I consistencies but this is the first time and not made up for this video...

We can certainly use some happy colors especially in the medium of fresh flowers. This arrangement would have been just okay had it not have the flower by the name of Dubium. This flower actually belong to the asparagus family but this variety cannot be consumed as they are extremely poisonous unlike it’s relative - the one we see in the grocery stores. Vase life of Dubium flowers last at least for almost a month and they are just beautiful even just by themselves. Right now at this time they are coming in in their greatest quality so take advantage of them in plant or cut flower forms.
I hope these Facebook postings will help everyone’s mind off from wandering outside. Stay in and know you will be safer. Everything will be better if we al listen.

I normally don’t do posting one after the other but maybe it’s not a bad idea since many of us are home and I heard that most people are spending more time on social media due to all the closings.
Forgive me if I posted too many otherwise.
- a very kind and one of my very long- time client called to send a sympathy arrangement today. She also wanted to help boost sales for small businesses like us. Thank you! Fortunately, we have beautiful white hydrangeas and anemone panda, ranunculus, roses very fresh in the cooler besides flowering quince branches! We also would like to thank everyone for the thoughtful texts and emails. We truly appreciate you thinking of us!

Does everyone know that French tulips are the most regal and statuesque variety in the tulip family?
When we receive orders for tulips, right away, for a little bit more cost-wise, we offer the French tulips- they come in the simple, parrot, coupe’, and variegated colors. When we deliver these tulips, because they are top heavy, they bow down and eventually search the light as with all tulips. Know that they are not dead or we will not be selling or delivering them. My advice is if when ordering tulips in particular, to ask what a florist has in stock. These French tulips have been in our store for 3 weeks and going strong.

Well-dressed and happy customer:) taking happy and cheerful flowers to his family! Suggested oncidium orchids, double, largest bloomed purple lisianthus, fragrant Yves Piaget garden roses and purple anemones. Instant cheer = fresh flowers bring joy at anytime.

Sending Spring Flower picture to everyone taken yesterday so that flower lovers that frequented our stores are not shorted with not seeing them! We will be posting regularly and hopefully to give cheer and hope that soon everyone is able to touch and smell the flowers that we love.
Social distancing is in effect but know that we will be posting available flowers and you can message us through Facebook, email, call or text for any comments or just to say hello. We are open for business and will deliver with your floral requests with the emphasis on practicing standards of healthy habits. Our protocol is that we will call Recipients before delivery and will be told that their arrangement will be left in front of their door. A picture will be taken and then sent to recipient to let them know that it was delivered in this fashion.
We want you to know that in times like this, we are thinking of everyone’s safety.

I have been recently getting some really special orders for very very big names but can’t say their names.
I brought in my very favorite photographer Chip McCrea to help take better pictures. Our ever hard- working Luz helped wrap the finished arrangement.
