When girls are young, and dream of Prince Charming, he is
brave, powerful, and kind (hopefully!).
And, as the beautiful image above, by Sheffield born artist Craig
Davison illustrates, when boys are young, they want to be… superheroes!

Many of us won’t admit it, but we may, at some point, have
been caught wearing a towel as a cape, our big sister’s leggings on, and our
pants over the top, jumping from the top stairs, shouting things like Geronimo!, or Kapow!
Some of us seriously considered entering a career that would
allow us to become the Superhero’s human
equivalent: police men, fire fighters, ambulance drivers, soldiers. Those real
humans with almost super human powers
of bravery, compassion and the will and power to carry out heroic deeds, daily.
In short, the boys unknowingly wanted to be Prince Charming!
Well, some of us achieved Prince Charming status! And some
have chosen a different path in life.
But do you know what, there’s a hero inside all of us. And
our new range of fun, novel flowers are designed to inspire you, to call out
your inner bravery, and help you bring a massive smile to your loved one!

Our arresting floral designs are made in honour of a very
real-life, local hero, PC Andrew Duncan. The range includes blooming bouquets
of fresh, handpicked flowers, ranging from yellow roses, that symbolise thanks,
friendship and celebration, ultra-romantic velvety red roses that mean loyalty,
respect and deep love, silky white roses that symbolise pure love, and
luscious, plump hot pink roses too! You can choose to give them by the dozen.
But if you really want to say something that won’t be forgotten, you simply
must go for our fantastic Arresting You
bouquet, consisting of no less than one hundred, large, plush deep red roses.
All of our bouquets in this range are wrapped in the
instantly recognizable, chequered police motif cellophane, which we have
specially printed! You won’t find anything like this, in any other florists. It’s
a true Lily Blossom exclusive.

And guess what… our Arresting range is guaranteed to help
you impress your girl so much, she WILL say yes. And we are so confident, that
if she says no, we’ll give you your money back. Honest guv! We really will!
You can purchase a range of extras to go with your flowers.
If you are sending to congratulate a uniformed couple on the birth of a child,
(as one of our staff recently did), send them our gorgeous Bobby Bear!
If it’s your first anniversary, or you just want to surprise
your loved one with a bit of cheeky fun, we have novel handcuffs for you too!

This fun range of fresh floral designs has a more serious
side too. You can feel extra good about purchasing them. Because 5% of our
profits from your purchase goes to PC Andrew Duncan’s Memorial, and a further
5% goes to the Police Roll of Honour Trust.
PC Andrew Duncan was our real-life inspiration for this
exciting collection. On Friday 20th September 2013, this honourable,fun, well-loved father, husband and police officer, was struck by a vehicle, as
he motioned for the driver to pull over, during a speed enforcement operation.
Andrew joined the police
force in 1990, and served in Battersea, Hammersmith and Fulham, the south west
Territorial Support Group, and finally, Merton.
Known to his friends and
family as Andy, this real-life hero was a scouting volunteer, a brave
colleague, and an inspiration, who will be greatly missed, and fondly
remembered.
We hope we have captured Andy’s
almost super human powers; bravery, compassion, adventure and fun, in our unique
collection of floral delights! And we’re really pleased to support the two
funds, in his honour. The money will then go to the causes he cared so much
about.
So follow in the footsteps of
a hero: don your best suit, grab a beautiful bunch of roses, and persuade your
girl, to surrender! You’ll be her hero, and her Prince Charming. Guaranteed.
Well, it’s got to be more
impressive than wearing your pants outside of your lycra leggings. Right?
