Bouquet Bonjour Soleil

This one came out of a gray week when our designers wanted flowers that looked like better weather. Sunflowers were the obvious place to start; snapdragons and daisy poms filled in the rest without fighting for attention. It's stayed one of our go-to gifts for anyone who could use a lift.

Here's what's in the bouquet, how it holds up, and how flower delivery works, one pick from our wide selection.

Seasonal Flowers: Sunflowers, Snapdragons and Daisy Poms: Big sunflowers anchor the middle, snapdragons add height on either side, and daisy poms fill in the gaps, all gathered by hand with soft greenery and delivered ready for a vase. All three are seasonal flowers we bring in specifically for this design.

Bright, Sunny Color Among Our Flower Arrangements: Expect warm gold from the sunflowers and cheerful mixed tones from the snapdragons and daisies. This one reads more like a sunny window than a formal bouquet, proof that not all flower arrangements need to look formal to make someone's day. Sunflowers are one of our favorite seasonal flowers for exactly that reason.

One Generous Size: Hello Sunshine comes in a single, well-filled size, built with plenty of stems rather than a tight little bunch, more generous than most mixed arrangements this size. It's sized to make a real statement on a desk or a kitchen counter.

An Easy Pick-Me-Up: We hear from customers who buy this for themselves after a rough week just as often as we hear from people sending it to someone else. It also works for a new job or genuinely just because, one of our regulars reach for without waiting for a special occasion. Plenty pick it up for loved ones rather than themselves.

Same Day Flower Delivery: Place your order by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays, and same-day delivery is available in most areas nationwide. We can also route it further out through our nationwide florist network.

• Snip the stems, refresh the water often, and keep the bouquet out of direct sun, small habits that go a long way toward lasting beauty.
• Fresh flowers like these respond quickly to a little care, especially the sunflowers.
• A few flowers and foliage in this mix can be toxic to pets, so set it somewhere curious noses and paws can't reach.

• Sunflowers and snapdragons can have an off week just like anything else grown outdoors.
• When that happens, we bring in a substitute of equal or greater value rather than settle for a lesser bloom, and the bright, sunny look stays the same.
• The same standard applies across our floral arrangements.

How long do the sunflowers usually last?

With clean water and a cool spot, expect five to seven days, sometimes longer. The snapdragons often keep opening new blooms even after the sunflowers start to fade, on the longer side for floral arrangements built around sunflowers.

Is this bouquet safe to keep around pets?

Some of the flowers and foliage in this mix aren't pet-safe if chewed, so we'd keep it up on a counter or table rather than somewhere a curious cat or dog can reach.
