As novel an idea as it is, you have to give iflorist.com credit for what can be seen as entertainment – although at a snails pace. Yes what you see below is a Flower Cam! 

But don’t stare for to long waiting for something to happen.

The iflorist retail store features a large walk-in fresh flower cooler, with their live Flower Cam. You can watch customers select from a variety of fresh flowers! To boot, two G-scale trains travel over 300′ around the store and can occasionally be seen going through the plexiglass window on the upper-right side. The Cam updates every 10 seconds during store hours.

I think iflorist.com might be on to something big here.

Something that may perhaps revolutionize the way florist do business. Just imagine how cool it would be to place an order online and to see it being prepared by a florist right in front of you on a live cam and then watch the bouquet get put right on a delivery truck. 

That’s exciting! What do you think? Would you order flowers and watch the florist prepare your order.

So how about iflorist – are you willing to go there for your customers.

It think some bold and brave florist should give it a shot and see what happens? I bet consumers looking to buy flowers online would love the idea. Pay a little extra, get a lot of transparency.

Well if anyone sees this idea born-out in the near future just know you heard it hear first.

Teleflora, the world’s leading flower wire service, recently announced its plans for the 10th anniversary of Teleflora’s Make Someone Smile® Week, starting from Sunday, July 18 through Saturday, July 24. Thousands of Teleflora memnber florists and community volunteers will deliver bouquets in the company’s keepsake gift Be Happy® Mug, to those most in need of a smile — such as hospital patients, senior citizens living in nursing homes and assisted living homes. In honor of the 10th anniversary, Teleflora will also award 10 lucky member units a check for $1,000 to be given to a charity of their choice.

Teleflora plans to donate more than 50,000 of their Be Happy® Mugs to its member florists, who will work with local wholesalers and growers to secure donated flowers. Local Teleflora florists will use these donations to design cheerful Be Happy® Bouquets, full of roses and daisies, and deliver them to residents in their local communities.

Since its launch 10 years ago, Make Someone Smile® Week has become the floral industry’s most successful charitable program. In 10 years, more than 22,000 florists in the U.S. and Canada have donated their time. Teleflora’s program has delivered more than 200,000 bouquets to those most in need of a smile.

It’s your choice in life to do good things for others. Good deeds are a elusive trait not particularly evident to everyone, yet we are reminded on occasions that the world is full of kind hearted souls of compassion, who strive to genuinely do  good. 

You dont’ have to sit back and waite for opportunity to do good. Often it only takes a small gesture to change someone’s outlook on life when they might feel down. It’s the little things that can make a difference, such as volunteering at a food-bank, donating to your favorite cause or sending someone a bouquet of flowers.
