Gouttes de soleil

Every February, our coolers fill with red roses, but sunflowers hold a steady following of their own right through the same week. A customer once asked us to combine the two instead of picking one, and the pairing never really left the lineup. It's become one of the more wonderful flower arrangements on our list, a bouquet people love giving as romance or as a simple thank-you.

This floral arrangement comes in three sizes, and the sunflower-and-rose mix stays the same across all of them.

What's Delivered to Their Door: Every arrangement gathers sunflowers, red roses, and solidago into one glass vase, delivered with no assembly required. It's a fuller, heavier look than an all-rose dozen, since sunflowers take up more visual space per stem than most flowers do.

Why Sunflowers and Red Roses: The pairing started as a request from a customer who couldn't decide between the two, and it stuck around because it works. Sunflowers bring warmth and size; roses bring the classic romance most people expect from the holiday, together reading more like real affection than routine. It's a style that suits almost anyone on the list, picked out with a specific sweetheart in mind rather than grabbed at the last minute.

Sizes: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium: Choose Standard, Deluxe, or Premium to match the gift you have in mind. Larger sizes add more of each flower rather than change the design, so the look stays consistent no matter which size you pick.

Beyond One Occasion: Sundrops sells well outside of February too, as a thank-you, a pick-me-up, or a bouquet for friends. The sunflower-and-rose combination doesn't read as strictly romantic, which is exactly why recipients see it as a special, wider-occasion pick rather than a red-and-pink arrangement.

Same Day Delivery, Nationwide: Order before 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays, and most areas qualify for delivery that same day, any time of year. Need it sent farther out? Our nationwide network handles that too.

• Change the water every few days and trim a bit off each stem when you do, which helps the blooms last longer.
• Keep it out of direct sun and away from a heat vent, and the roses will hold their color longest.

• Sunflowers move fast every February and our stock can run short, so our designers substitute a similarly priced, similarly bright stem and keep the red-and-yellow color story intact.
• You'll always get a full, balanced bouquet, even if one particular flower shifts week to week depending on what our growers can get us.

How Do I Order This Bouquet Last Minute?

If you order before 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays, most areas still qualify for same-day delivery, though we always recommend ordering a day or two ahead during our busiest weeks of the year.
