Peonies Available, Limited Time!

As of Monday morning, May 5, at eleven o'clock, Paul Wood Florist in Old Town Fort Collins, on Olive Street, has red peonies and pink peonies stocked.

Because they are popular flowers and in high demand, they won't be here for very long, so call now or come in to place your order, and enjoy them while they're here!

Mother's Day Corsages

Is your mother of the generation that fondly remembers receiving a mixed spring corsage as a gift for Mother's Day? Maybe she remembers wearing it to church that morning, and then enjoying it throughout the rest of the day's festivities.

Paul Wood Florist is featuring a mixed pin-on corsage this year with long-lasting flowers in beautiful spring shades.


Order early for the most choices and the freshest product available, and arrange to pick up sometime on Saturday to avoid the Sunday rush.

Surprise your mom with a lovely, custom-designed corsage this year!

A lovely assortment of vibrant, showy spring flowers.

Happy May Day

Celebrate May Day with flowers!

We hope to have peonies available on a first-come, first-serve basis (or the first phone orders) sometime in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye open for those. They have a very short season, and they are very popular.

We also have the usual assortment of spring flowers in a variety of bright and pastel shades from pink and lavender to green, blue, white, and yellow. Look for tulips, iris, hydrangea, daisies, snapdragons, delphinium, and ranunculus.



No doubt about it --- spring is officially here! Enjoy!

Greenery Day

Greenery Day originated in Japan in 1989 to celebrate the birthday of Japanese Emperor Hirohito. It's intended as a day to commune with, appreciate, and be thankful for the natural world around us.



Visit us today at Paul Wood Florist to browse our selection of plants, dish gardens, and flowers. Perhaps you'll find something for yourself or for someone else that reminds you to appreciate nature today.

New Website Layout

If you've visited our general business website, www.paulwoodflorist.com, any time in the last few days, you've noticed some changes to the layout and design of the site. We're excited to share the latest features with you!

We now have a Delivery button (in the blue navigation bar near the top of the screen) where you'll find a list of zip codes, businesses, and surrounding communities around Fort Collins to which we make deliveries. Remember that the list is not comprehensive, and call with specific inquiries about making deliveries.

Our Weddings button (in the blue navigation bar) takes you directly to our wedding website, which was created back in February. Feel free to browse all the fantastic information there!

There's now a Blog button (in the blue navigation bar) that takes you directly to this blog, Floral Notes, from our general website.

We've added a scrolling feature for some of our products on our home page. Down below in a box, you'll still see two or three Deals of the Week, featured products that we've marked specifically for this week, but above that, you'll also see a slideshow with several other arrangements, plants, and dish gardens. The pictures move through one at a time, but you can use the arrows on either side to go backward or forward and see the previous picture or the next one in the show.

Our announcements, which used to be centered near the top of our home page, are now in a column on the right side of the product slideshow on the home page. We hope this change makes for easier reading for you!

We've also added a product category (in the green navigation box on the left side of your screen) under the Shop by Product label that is specifically for dish gardens. (Click here to access that page directly.)

Our color scheme is updated, with the blue navigation bar at the top and the green navigation box on the left side of the screen, to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for.

Finally, the bottom of the home page has a couple of paragraphs of information about Paul Wood Florist, along with our physical (mailing) address and phone numbers, and several links on the left side that are full of helpful information about plant and flower care and types.

Please feel free to let us know what you think, or if you have any questions!

Administrative Professionals' Day

Secretaries' Day . . .

Administrative Assistants' Day . . .

Call it whatever you like, but remember to express your appreciation for your office assistants!

This Wednesday, April 23, is Administrative Professionals' Day, and we at Paul Wood Florist in downtown Fort Collins want to help you express your appreciation the best you can.

Call or come in, or visit our website, to discuss your many options for how to say "thank you."

Consider a dish garden, like the Cheerful Ceramic Dish Garden, which is the perfect size for a desk top, office space, or home office.





Or think about a floral arrangement. We have a beautiful assortment from which to choose, like Dedicated Support, a lovely, showy arrangement that says more with colorful flowers than you might be able to say with words alone.





Another popular option is to consider a green or blooming plant. The Tropical Bromeliad Plant is an exotic choice that will brighten any office space.


In other words, the sky is the limit when you're looking for ways to say "thank you" this week. Just give us a call or visit our store or website to find the perfect gift.
