ProFlowers for Mother’s Day Plants and Flowers

May 3, 2012 By Leticia

Orchids and azaleas always remind me of my Mom. She loves plants over cut flowers because of their longevity and while I like to surprise her with flowers, I know that the more practical side of her prefers azaleas that she can continue to enjoy when planted in her garden or the joy of her orchids blooming over and over again.

I’ve always been a fan of ProFlowers for unique gifts for mom but this year sent my Mom the potted double stem kaleidoscope orchid from ProPlants, a division of ProFlowers.  

Potted Double Stem Kaleidoscope Orchid
from ProPlants.com

ProFlowers makes ordering easy and quick.  Since the site is associated with RedEnvelope, Personal Creations, Shari’s Berries, and Cherry Moon Farms, all I need to do is use a single login, choose the gift, and if the recipient is someone I’ve sent a gift to before, I simply click on the box next to their name and address to send the gift.  I also love being able to select a delivery date and paying either with credit card or with PayPal.  It only takes a matter of minutes for me to complete an order on any of the aforementioned sites before I get an email confirmation of my order.  When the item ships, I get another email notifying me that its on its way.

This time I received an email saying that the kaleidoscope orchid was on its way to my house!  Oops!  I thought that it might be difficult to get someone on the phone or to remedy the situation but couldn’t be more wrong!  ProFlowers makes it just as easy to resolve a problem as it is to place an order.  An actual person picked up the phone immediately, was able to look up my order, and have the orchid sent to my Mom. 

What did it look like upon arrival?  Perfect thanks to the secure packaging that kept it safe during transit. 

The Kaleidoscope Orchid stands an impressive 2 feet tall!

The orchid was boxed in a tall cardboard box and the double sprays were contained in a triangular cardboard form that was lined with bubble wrap.  The orchid stems were gently wrapped with cellophane to protect them. The black tapered tin I selected was completely wrapped with saran wrap to prevent scratching as was the moss covering the pot. 

Beautiful blooms arrived in perfect condition
with no bruised petals or broken stems!

Both Mom and I were completely thrilled with our orchids and it’s not too late to order Mother’s Day plants and flowers or other unique gifts other than flowers for mom, daughters, aunts, wives, or sisters from ProFlowers!  Even if the person you’re shopping for thinks flowers are extravagant or doesn’t have the greenest of thumbs, chances are they’ll love any gift from ProFlowers!

I received a code to put towards my purchase to facilitate my review of ProFlowers.   No additional compensation was received and all opinions are my own and based on personal experience.

Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
