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 »
Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts is an enormous fan of bees, and you should be too. Why? Well, they're responsible for pollinating 70 of the top food crops we eat from. They help give us everything from avocados to coffee to flax to sweet, sweet mango. Simply put, our tables wouldn't look the same without them, whether we're talking food or flowers. 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.

Well we here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts have an essential playlist for you to add to the mix, and the best part is, it's inspired by flowers. That's right.

On National Best Friend's Day, do something special for your bestie. Take her to lunch, meet her for drinks, sneak in a midday movie and definitely present her with flowers. Flowers have the ability to convey our feelings, sure, but you're probably already good at that when it comes to your best friend. Instead, offer her a batch of blooms that will both elaborate on what she already knows and give her something beautiful to look at. The Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts team has seen every flower exchange in the books, and the ones that are intended to honor a friendship are always so fun to put together. Because we know our besties so well, it's easy to create the perfect piece. Read More about Sweet Flowers To Honor The Best Of Friendships »
We've all heard the expression, "April showers bring May flowers," but what do May's flowers bring?
Aside from our abject appreciation, they give way to June's flowers, or the blossoms of early summer, to wax poetic about it. Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts loves what every season brings flower-wise, but there's certainly something about summer. The flowers that thrive then are some of the most dazzling of the year, saturated with color, bursting with interest. And that's why we want to do a sneak peek at what's in store, and also to point out how many flowers spring and summer share in common, making the transition from May to June not only easy but beautiful.
