Hearts all over New England broke on Sunday when Patriots QB Tom Brady hobbled off the field with a season-ending knee injury.

Many of these devout (and now suicidal) Patriots fans now cling to the hope that career backup Matt Cassel will become their new man crush.

To console the millions of other Patriots fans around the country during their time of need, Flora2000 recommends sending your favorite New Englander the following flowers to convey your sympathies.

To express your condolences we recommend you send them the below flowers. These might not only help our grieving friends but also put their energy to good use.

Or you would also do well to pass along a chocolate gift basket as chocolate has long been known to trigger the release of endorphins, which serve as a pain reliever.

It’s back to school time for college kids this week and it should come as no surprise to mom and dad that dorm living isn’t exactly like staying in a 5-Star hotel. Between the dirty laundry, empty beer bottles and spare notebook lining the dorm room floor, most parents want to help liven up their child’s living space.

But besides stocking the fridge with healthy snacks and decorating the walls with poster and pictures, choosing a nice plant or flower arrangement that not only fits the dorm motif but can also survive the lifestyle of your average American college co-ed can be a challenge.

So here is a great list low-maintenance, high-tolerance plants that we recommend.

If you are a soldier stationed abroad, trying to find a service that will let you send flowers to your wife on her birthday or to your daughter who just graduated back home, is like trying to find which cave Osama Bin Laden is holed up at.

In fact, a U.S. army SFC, who experienced the above problem put it this way… “Prior to finding your site www.flora2000.com, I had attempted to use many other sites to send my family gifts. I was annoyed and disappointed each time when after getting almost all the way done with the order, I hit a speed bump. Mostly it was that “Worldwide Service” actually meant USA and Canada to these companies.”

The truth is that many floral delivery services are great

After the first four days of Olympic competition, team U.S.A has already won 29 Olympic medals, including Micheal Phelp’s five gold medals on the way to a possible 8! This means that many American families and fans may want to send their Olympic heroes some congratulatory gifts.

In China, its common to send flowers to express congratulations. But if you want to celebrate Michael Phelp’s Olympic achievement, what sort of flowers are appropriate for the occasion based of Chinese customs.

While China produces some of the most beautiful flowers in the world, the biggest trend there right now is to send flowers that are harvested in Europe. Below are few other Chinese customs to consider when sending flowers to your favorite U.S. Olympians.

1. Fresh flowers or fruit are commonly used gifting items in China.
2. Red is the color of good luck, while pink and yellow represent happiness. Yellow and white chrysanthemums are used only for funerals.
3. Always present gifts with two hands.
4. Never write any congratulatory cards or notes with red ink.
5. The number 8 is lucky. Never send 4 of anything as it is seen as an unlucky number.

Different flowers have different meanings in China. To celebrate the spirit of the games and to congratulate Olympic victors, we recommend “White and Pink Oriental Lilies and Roses”.

Mother

This year two of Mumbai’s renowned companies approached us and asked us whether we would be interested in helping them spread smiles on this Valentine’s. We said,

A wedding is one of the most important events of a person’s life. Unfortunately, the planning can be one of the most confusing. From venues to food to music to dresses, the decisions for the “perfect day” are endless.

And then comes the flowers, the major focal point of the occasion. However, picking wedding day flowers can be a source of gratification, not stress, as long as you know what to look for.

No matter what time of year you decide to tie the knot, there are beautiful flowers to pick from. In fact, due to imports and commercial growers cultivating flowers under glass, many flowers are now available much longer into each season and even throughout the year.
