It seems that as soon as the season of celebrating is over, the season of cold and flu is right behind it! For those who may be coping with sniffles, coughs, and sneezing, it can be miserable. If your loved ones are under the weather – or even suffering from something more serious –  get well flowers from Walter Knoll Florist can help to brighten their day and lift their spirits.

It’s Science! Harvard University has proven that receiving flowers causes increased feelings of happiness and well-being across every demographic. In other words, no one can resist the beauty of flowers! 

If you are wondering which flowers to send, bright colors are always in season. Whether in the hospital or homebound with an injury, people appreciate and react to vivid flowers that add a splash of vibrancy to their environment. While nearly all flowers are appropriate, you may wish to forgo florals that have heavy fragrance (such as lilacs) and send cheerful, easy to care for blooms such as gerbera daisies, tulips, mums, and sunflowers.

Here’s a Tip: If your loved one is at a local hospital or medical center, call the facility before you place the order in order to determine if they have any specific rules or restrictions regarding the delivery of flowers and plants.

Green plants can also be sent in lieu of get well flowers – in fact, plants help to detoxify the environment by eliminating pollutants and toxins. Cleaner air is better for the patient, so be sure to consider potted green houseplants, dish gardens, baskets of flowering blooms, orchids, bromeliads or succulents.

The  floral designers at Walter Knoll Florist prefer that no one in your life would be ill or injured. But if you do find yourself with a sick loved one, know that we have the expertise, creativity, and professional customer service you require to send the most beautiful get well flowers throughout Saint Louis and across the country.
