Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that people with close friendships are happier overall? That would make sense, since true friends share laughter, conversation, compassion, empathy, communication, sympathy and understanding. The week of August 16-22, 2015 gives us the opportunity, thanks to National Friendship Week, to tell all of our closest friends just how much joy they bring to us.

Flowers always deliver smiles – but during this special week, you can send a meaningful bouquet that expresses your affection in a vibrant way. The traditional color of friendship is yellow, and one of the flowers that symbolizes friendship is the daisy. So what better bloom to base the perfect bouquet on than these yellow daisies? Include some lilies and carnations, and you’ve got a floral arrangement worthy of that amazing best friend in your life.

Or how about these cheerful daisy chrysanthemums in a whimsical yellow planter? Even if you see your friends all the time, everyone loves a special surprise delivered right to their front door! Don’t forget to include a heartfelt message – a handwritten note has always been a beautiful personal touch, but in this electronic world, a personal message is treasured.
