Nurturing floral arrangements make us feel safe, snug and loved. They are created by soft, tender colors, including pastel shades of yellow, peaches and creamy whites.

Frequent Flowers: This month, research some unusual varieties such as anthurium, bouvardia and liatris.

It's a Fact: Flower quality and freshness are consumers' most important considerations when ordering floral gifts.

Did You Know? Professional florists offer same-day delivery service, meaning you can order a custom arrangement that morning for delivery that afternoon.

TIP: Send flowers in the nurturing palette to brighten up a friend's hospital room or ease the loneliness of recovering at home.
