The winner of the Proflowers prize is:
- Angie ([email protected])
@proflowers This past week I was given the opportunity to review a Proflowers item by choosing from a selection on the Proflowers website. I chose the Juniper Bonsai, well, I let my husband, Greg choose what he wanted and that is what he picked. He loves plants as much as I do and we both figured he could use this as a project over the winter – which is coming faster than I would like. Wait, didn’t Summer just start?
Once we placed our order we just waited for our plant to arrive. It came fast enough and was delivered by Fedex.
I was surprised to see that Proflowers uses Eco-friendly packaging which is nice to see. On the outside of the box is a Gift Message so the person you are sending your flower arrangement, gift basket, or plant to will be able to read your greeting right away.
Inside you will also be surprised at how well your item is packaged. Proflowers had a special insert made just for this plant. It was in two parts. The first part kept the plant secured and the second part protected the plant itself. Very clever!
Once unpackaged I found that the pot was wrapped to keep the soil intact. Inside was an instruction booklet, which my husband read, word for word. Did you know that a Bonsai isn’t a plant? It is a method of pruning a plant. I never knew that. You can take lots of different plants and turn them into Bonsai trees. Proflowers has Juniper, Gardenia, and Azalea Bonsai plants.
The Bonsai plant itself was very healthy and in perfect condition and it came in a super nice glazed ceramic planter. We look forward to our new plant project.

I think I would get the Tropical Organic Sampler. Yummy fruit!
Hawaiian Umbrella Tree Bonsai
I would love to give my Mom some hand-dipped chocolate strawberries.
I have always like bonsai trees, so I would choose The Ultimate Bonasi kit.
I’d like the Deluxe Money Tree bonsai.
I would choose a birthday bouquet for my mom.
I’d get the Deluxe Money Tree bonsai—my husband is crazy about bonsais!
It is a toss up between the Azalea Bonsai and the Pastel Hyacinth Bulb Garden. They are both gorgeous!

Would love the Ultimate Bonsai Kit. I have wanted a Bonsai for years and I would like to know more about them. Thank you!
Oh, the chocolate torte birthday cake looks yummy! I also think the sunflowers are so pretty.
I love ProFlowers, I’ve ordered from them before and have not been disappointed. If I am the lucky winner, I’d choose the Hawaiian Umbrella Tree Bonsai Dishgarden – I love bonsai (this would go well with the ficus and the juniper bonsai I have currently).
All about the Mardi Gras Orchid Garden.
I am going to have to agree Mardi Gras Orchid Garden but they have a nice bonsi collection
The Potted Lavender Azaleas were my favorite! We had these in our yard when I was growing up. I don’t have any flowering plants now.
As beautiful as the freesias are and as exotic as the leopard orchid is….I’m caught up with the bonsai….the juniper and the cryptomeria are both very attractive to me. I’d choose to have either, but I’d love to win anything that I’ve mentioned. Okay, most of all the juniper because the juniper in your photo is just stunning and I’m very impressed with the packaging methods they used.
