"Thank you for delivering these flowers to Allevia Hospital yesterday, even though my friend was still in surgery and I didn’t know which ward she would be in. I received a text from her later in the day to thank me. Thank you too for the picture of the arrangement - very much appreciated - sometimes it can be a gamble to choose an online florist and I’ve been disappointed in the past to see what I have paid for, but certainly not disappointed with the arrangement that you did for her! Thank you so much. She said they were beautifully fragrant and lighting up her room."

Chinese Valentine’s Day is also known as Qixi Festival or the Double Seventh Festival. It is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar and has a history stretching back over 2,000 years.
Qixi Festival is inspired by the traditional legend of Zhinü (the Weaver Girl) and Niulang (the Cowherd) — two star-crossed lovers separated by the Milky Way, allowed to reunite only once each year. The story symbolises loyalty, patience, and enduring love.
