The Bunches Blog - Saturday the Sunflower - Saturday, 18th May

We use Facebook in a variety of ways from showing off our newest bouquets and competitions, to pictures of our Baxter Bear on his adventures!

On some occasions we like to ask our fans fun questions and recently we asked "If Saturday was a flower what would it be?"

We had plenty of suggested flowers, but here are the top 5;

Sunflower 19%
Daisy 17%
Lily 9%
Daffodil 9%
Tulips 9%

So according to our lovely Facebook fans, if Saturday was a flower it would be a sunny Sunflower. So let's hope we see some more sunshine soon!

Why not pop over to our Facebook pageand join in the fun!

The Bunches Blog - International Mother's Day - Thursday, 9th May

Mother's Day is celebrated around the world at different times of the year. For instance we celebrate it on Mothering Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday in Lent.

However most, but not all, of the rest of the world celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, in this case on the 12th of May.

Wherever you are from and whenever you celebrate it, Mother's Day is a day to honour the person you call Mum, Mom, Mother, Mutter, Maman, Okaasan, Madre...

The Bunches Blog - Your Bunches Poem... - Friday, 19th April

As many of you will know our Facebook page is a great place to go for bouquet information, competitions, discounts and just for a bit for fun!

We recently asked our Facebook fans to help us create a limerick, a line at a time. Over the course of the day it turned into more of a poem but we are really pleased with the result. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the creation of the poem.

There is a warehouse full of flowers
With scents that last for many hours
with more colours than a rainbow
That pick you up when you're feeling low
So, why not brighten someone's day,
by heading over to Bunches.co.uk

The Bunches Blog - Happy Birthday Bunches! - Thursday, 21st February

Hi everyone! This week we celebrated our 24th birthday here at Bunches HQ!

Bunches started selling flowers in a local shopping centre under a 6m x 4m umbrella in 1989 and today we're a thriving family business that has delivered over 3 million bouquets.

We'd just like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years and trusted us to deliver your lovely floral gifts to your loved ones!

In true tradition, we had 3 tasty birthday cakes on Tuesday and of course they all went down an absolute treat!

Did you know, we share our birthday with the following; Benicio Del Toro, Jeff Daniels, Ray Winstone, Seal (the musician, obviously!) and Prince Andrew Duke of York. For another interesting fact, the UK Number 1 song on the day we were born was "Belfast Child" by Simple Minds.

We would love to see your snowy pics, so why not post them onto the Bunches.co.uk Facebook wall so we can have a peek at them?
