Beautification of the Home or Building - In addition to the multitude of health benefits plants offer, they also create elegant and wonderful beauty to any home. There are numerous uses for indoor plants. Depending on the areas to be decorated, the use of different plants can create a more uniform and warm feel. Health and Mental Wellness - Researchers at Kansas State University reported studies that show patients recover quicker when their hospital rooms have plants in them. In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner. Further, researchers in other countries have found evidence in their studies that the overall health of individuals in office buildings and classrooms is also improved by the presence of plants. Benefits identified include decreases in fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore throats and flu like symptoms. Home Air Purification - There are multiple studies but reference is based on a study in 2009 conducted by the University of Technology in Sydney Australia. This team found that it was highly probable houseplants absorbed toxins in the air. The science behind how the plants are able to do this is related to their biological processes. The CDC has reported that as many as 8 percent of all Americans suffer from allergies. Houseplants do not release much if any pollen and in fact act as natural filters to collect allergens and dust. In addition, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis which is what we breath to survive. Plants act as sponges to gather all of the bad pollutants in the air. Most of us do not think about pollutants in our homes but they are present. Things like carpet, paint and furniture emit toxins.

Flowers have been an important symbol of thoughtfulness, love and caring for many centuries. Dating back to the Roman the goddess of love Venus often pictured surrounded with different varieties of flowers. In the 19th century, many writers referenced the "language of flowers".

Typically, we tend to think of roses as a symbol of romantic love, However, they can also be used to show admiration and affection for a graduate. White roses symbolize a new beginning, purity, and genuine respect. Pink roses symbolize happiness. Yellow roses symbolize friendship, new beginnings, and joy. Orange roses represent enthusiasm and desire. Peonies Peonies are a very popular springtime flower. They are frequently used in weddings and baby showers. In Victorian flower language they symbolize a more modest lifestyle of being shy with a happy life. So, if your graduate is more of the introvert type, peonies are the perfect flower.

Each of our floral products were carefully created by our Floral Designers to put a big smile on mom's face. Contemplating the many things one can do for mom is a natural and respectful thing. However, if you are a mom also, you need to take a moment to consider what you might do for yourself. Often, a mother may neglect thinking about themselves and wind up missing out on well-deserved rewards. For all moms, you deserve to reflect on your accomplishments and sacrifices to raise a family and keep the home functioning. It takes a lot of devotion to be a great mom. Below are some valuable tips to consider on your special day. Reflect on you - Mother's Day is not just another day. It is easy to slip into the daily routine of being "super mom". Instead, take time to reflect on your accomplishments and all that you do for your immediate and extended family. Try to not spend the day critiquing your abilities and accomplishments. Reach out to other Moms - You have a circle of friends some of whom are moms like you. Some of these ladies are probably people you admire for their mothering skills. Take a few moments to reach out to them and let them know about your admiration for them. Take time for yourself - It is quite normal to get up early and immediately switch to "mother mode". Maybe there are clothes on the floor, unmade beds, dishes in the sink and other things needing attention. Instead of feeling the need to jump into completing that you normally do, maybe sleep in later. Those tasks will be there tomorrow or better perhaps someone in your family may decide it is your special day and complete them for you. Expect Flowers and Gifts - Perhaps throw some not - so - subtle hints out there to your husband and children that a beautiful bouquet of flowers would be a welcomed gift. Then make sure you let them know that Pugh's Flowers is where you would like the flowers to come from! LOVE ME TENDER COVID-19 Update: We are still delivering your love!
