Flower Delivery Texas

The Lone Star State

Many know Texas’ nickname: the Lone Star State. But do you know how this moniker came about? While under Mexican rule, the territory’s flag featured two stars in the middle of the red, white, and green Mexican flag. When Texas gained independence from its southern neighbor in 1836, however, its citizens changed the flag to include only one star, the lone star. The single star was an act of defiance that represented pride and independence.

You may have someone in your life who you would consider your shining star. Maybe it’s a parent, spouse, or child. The gift of flowers is a great way to show you care. For example, send your star birthday flowers in their favorite color to let them know you are thinking of them. Whatever the occasion personalization is key. Add a handwritten greeting card or meaningful symbol like a certain stuffed animal or a favorite type of chocolate to complete the gift.

Everything is Bigger in Texas

A lot of people have heard the phrase “everything is bigger in Texas.” This land is known for its big cities such as Houston and San Antonio, but also for its wide-open spaces filled with ranches, cattle, and lots of sky. Texas is the largest state in the U.S., comprising 7.4% of the country’s total land. Its population is large too: 8.4% of the total citizenry. Texas is also known for its big ten-gallon hats, cowboy boots, big hair, and big personalities.

If you want to send a flower arrangement that upholds Texas’ reputation for everything supersized, Kremp Florist can guide you in the right direction. First, select a tall, glass vase as the basis for the design. Tall flowers such as gladiolas, larkspur, snapdragons, and bells of Ireland will give the arrangement height. Large, focal flowers like roses, stargazer lilies, hydrangea, gerber daisies, and sunflowers will complete the body of the arrangement. Branches like curly willow, dogwood, and birch can also be used to create a sky-scraping look. This will make a big impression for any occasion, and would be particularly suitable for anniversary flowers.

America’s Team

We couldn’t forget to mention the Dallas Cowboys, “America’s Team.” Dallas’ NFL team gained this nickname in 1978 when it was said as part of their highlight reel. Although there are many fans of the football team across the country, the state of Texas holds the players especially dear. For a true fan, consider sending a blue flower arrangement. Blooms that come in this hue include hydrangea, iris, thistle, and delphinium. Silver touches can come in the form of ribbons or painted leaves or berries.

Whatever aspect of Texas you wish to embody, from the lone star to its star football team, Kremp Florist can make your next flower delivery special.
