Indulge & Bloom's fresh flower selection is a sight to behold. These aren't any ordinary blooms--they are sumptuous, living jewels with intoxicating beauty, potent perfumes and the power to make your beloved swoon. The exotic fresh-cut flowers are astounding, but for something that lasts a bit longer, opt for a topiary. You don't have to be Edward Scissorhands to enjoy giving your ivy flamingo a "haircut." Besides flowers, the shop also carries a selection of candles, candies and trinkets. Send flowers from FlowerDelivery today.

This local chain's signature lavender wrapper is one of Minnesota's most recognizable brand identities. It says "super-nice flowers inside" to discriminating moms and sweethearts, and the sight of that lavender delivery truck sends legions of office workers into fits of giddiness every occassion. Although Bachman's cut-flower delivery service busts a move every holiday, the stores are busy all year selling plants and gifts you don't have to remember to water. The garden centers are stocked with high-quality bedding plants, yard tools and decor, and knowledgeable green-thumb types who can tell you how to avoid killing your plants.
