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’d go with the 7 Stalks of Lucky Bamboo in Glass Vase
I would choose Hibiscus Bonsai
I’d love to have the Fragrant Gardenia Topiary. It just looks so lush and decorative!
I really love lavender so I would go with the LOVE & LAVENDER WREATH (preserved).
I would love to have the Azalea Bonsai. I think that is just beautiful!
I would love the deluxe hand-dipped strawberries!
Walk in the garden for me and a wine gift set for my wonderful sis n law (:
would love the bonsai kit!
I love the green plant section – I think the orchid is beautiful, but I do not have such a green thumb so orchids being high maintenance rules that out…but the braided trunk of the deluxe money tree is very interesting. it would look great in my office and maybe it would be lucky when I entered the sweeps!
I would choose the Ultimate Bonsai kit for my son. 🙂
I would love to win the Pink Ribbon Bromeliad, because it supports a cause that is dear to me and my family.
My pick Two Dozen Assorted Long Stemmed Roses.
18 Long Stemmed Red Roses w/FREE Elegant Ruby Vase would be a great addition to the expensive gifts I will be lavishing upon the girlfriend for her upcoming birthday. It would be a cute little kicker with the “ruby” vase since that is her birthstone too. 🙂
I love the Remembrance Wreath. Thank you.
It’s so hard to choose, but I think I have fell in love with the Tranquil Jade Bonsai. Such a simply beautiful plant.
I’d have to pick out Azalea Bonsai.. Beautiful!
So many great selections :)! I would choose the Kaleidoscope arrangement! Love the variety of colors in this selection.
I would pick Fragrant Gardenia Topiary in the Victorian Container
I would pick the Azalea Bonsai
Hawaiian Umbrella Tree Bonsai Dishgarden I love it, very pretty!
Now THAT is a hard decision! I love plants so much. I guess I’d have to go with the Deluxe Succulent Garden. If they happened to be out of that, the Juniper Bonzai would be really special, too.
Thanks!
This isn’t a hard one for me. I would love the Pink Ribbon Honor Tree for two reason. One by buying this tree you are supporting “Komen for a Cure.” This has meaning to be because cancers has taken a my grandmother. The second is because I wantd a tree my son could have every christmas and this tree would be perfect for it.
Thanks
I would go with the Veramonte Wine Deluxe Duet.
I would love to have the Mrs. Fields Deluxe Bites Basket!!
I want the Juniper Bonsai! I have always loved Bonsai and have given them as gifts. It’s good to find a company that you can count on to package things with care!
