We all know that adult life has its own ups and downs. It’s fun and it’s a chaotic mix of group chats left on “read”, half-finished text replies that say “let’s meet soon!” and never quite make it to the calendar.
Life happens for everyone – jobs change, postcode change, and more. And now, your best friend, the one who lives five to ten minutes away from you, is now moving far away.
However, here’s the thing: friendships don’t fade because we stop caring. They fade because we stop putting effort. We stopped reaching out. So in this month of May, we encourage you to reach out to a close friend. You don’t need to book a flight or draft a long message, let your presence be felt by simply sending them flowers.
The Quiet Power of a Surprise Bouquet
There’s something about an unexpected bouquet that hits differently. For long-distance friendships, flowers become more than petals and stems. They’re memory triggers. They’re heart-warmers. They’re the “I saw this and thought of you” moment, captured in scent and colour.
Flower Types That Say “I’m Thinking of You”
Some blooms are just born for emotional expression. Here are our top picks for reconnecting with long-distance besties:
🌷 Tulips – Symbolise comfort and deep connection. A gorgeous reminder of spring optimism even in autumn’s chill.
🌸 Peonies – Lush, romantic, and rare. Perfect for once-in-a-while friendships that still matter deeply.
🌼 Gerberas – Bold, happy, and full of personality—just like your uni mate who still cracks you up with memes.
🌹 Roses (but make them pastel) – A soft pink or cream rose whispers affection and care, rather than romance.
💐 Mixed Posy – For the friend you can't quite define in one flower.

Don’t Forget Mum — She’s a Long-Distance Friend, Too and maybe the best of your besties!
Mother’s Day in May can stir up all kinds of feelings. Maybe Mum is across town, or maybe she's hours away. Either way, she's part of your emotional landscape. And just like a long-lost friend, she deserves a floral surprise, too.
Send her something with sentimental weight like our Autumn Blush
Don’t forget to add a small note: “Because no matter how far I roam, your love is home.”
You can check more arrangements for Mother’s Day here.
We can’t always make the call. We won’t always have time for a weekend visit or even a Zoom chat. But we can open our phones, scroll through beautiful blooms, and click “send.”
Flowers are the ultimate shortcut to connection. They don’t need a time slot. They don’t interrupt. They just arrive—gorgeous, fragrant, and full of feeling.
