Is it ever the wrong time for white flowers? We here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts say no. During the holidays: a classically elegant palette. During the spring: a beautiful transition from the rich colors of winter to the pastel hues of the warmer season. During the summer: the perfect refresher after a long, hot, humid few months. But what about that Labor Day rule for white? You can toss it. That was a piece of etiquette intended for New York socialites in the 1800s. If that doesn't describe you, feel free to enjoy white in your fashion choices and in your home all year long, starting with flowers. Read More about Never Too Late Or Early For White Roses »

These little workers have a big impact on our lives and on the planet. So what brings all the bees to the yard? Read More about Flowers Bees Love »
You may think that flowers will thrive wherever they are put, and when you bring home (or otherwise receive) a lovely bunch from Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts , that it makes no difference where you put them. Well, yes and no. Sunflowers do best where there's lots of sunlight, not surprisingly. Arrangements you put on the vanity in a bathroom should be humidity-hardy. A clutch of roses can be great as a centerpiece, as long as they aren't too fragrant, and pieces with a lot of scale look smashing as a foyer accent or on a table in a more formal area of your home.
