Giveaway: May Flowers from Bradford Nursery!

05/03/2011 nwamamas

Note from the mamas: Congratulations to Leann Rogers, Brittney Gulley and Laura Boysen, all winners of beautiful flowers from Bradford’s Nursery!

Last week, also known as the Great Monsoon of 2011, we did an “April Showers” giveaway that rained down gift cards from three of our favorite places to shop for baby shower gifts: Two Chic, B Larue and The Baby’s Room. (Congratulations to the winners: Amber, Sara Little and Jessica Alexander! Check your e-mail, ladies!) This week, all those showers have produced some amazing flowers, and three of our readers will get to take some home.

So, just in time for Mother’s Day, we give you the “May Flowers” giveaway, courtesy of Bradford Nursery in Rogers! Three mamas will win gift cards from Bradford to choose their favorite plants, flowers or gifts to take home.

One lucky mama will win a $100 gift card and two others will win $25 gift cards each!

We love taking a trip to the nursery to “ooooohhh” and “aaaaahhhh” over all the gorgeous blooms bursting from the pots and baskets lining the greenhouse. And there are so many different types of plants to choose from — petunias, begonias, impatiens and so many more. It really is hard to choose just one. Bradford has all of your favorite plants, flowers, trees and shrubs — plus gifts, horticulturists on staff and landscape design. (Click here to visit Bradford’s website.)

Bradford Nursery owner Russell Ellis is a great guy to work with and has years of experience helping customers make good choices for their particular needs. He said a favorite recommendation right now is one of their huge fern hanging baskets that are just gorgeous. He also said you can’t go wrong with impatiens for shady areas. With the right care, they can last all the way into the fall season.

  11. Funny my family and I were just talking about our favorite flowers yesterday in the car. My daughter and I are fans of anything blue, my husband loves coulmbines and primrose. I was wishing for a colored peony to go along with our white one out front. Really I do not think there is a flower out there we don’t love.

    Thanks

  40. I LOVE pink roses! Whenever someone sends me flowers I always wish for those and I have always said I would like to plant my own bush. Hopefully I will win this gift certificate and can get a bush once and for all to have my own roses to enjoy!

  41. My favorite flowers are the little blue wild ones that grow on the side of the road…..wish I knew what they are called 🙂

  50. Oh I love tulips!
    However every flower is great. Nothing
    beats the sweet smell of flowers on a warm
    spring day!

  51. My favorite flower is actually the blossom of the dogwood tree. I love the way it reminds me of a story I heard long ago called,”The Legend of the Dogwood.” Each spring when I see either the white or pink flowers bloom they remind me of Jesus and the love he has for each and every person on this planet.

  52. My favorite flowers are peonies and lilacs! Love them! And the ants that infest peonies help the flower to open up! I just learned that last year.

    I love spring flowers from daffadills to tulips. Zinnias are always nice as well.

  57. I love Calla lilies but when it comes to my garden, i like anything that requires very little work and is extremely hardy. Perennials are best…who wants to replant flowers every year?

  59. I love gerber daisys. I also love sunflowers which my kids planted an entire row of in our garden.

  65. If I had to pick one it would be the lily because that was my mom’s favorite flower.

  68. My favorite flower is pansies. I also love jonquils, iris, roses, petunias, glads, violas, geraniums.

  70. I love any type of plants, really! It’s the variety of plants that makes to beauty of a landscape. My husband buys me plants for special occasions: he bought me a dwarf gala apple tree for my birthday and then a snow ball bush for mothers day and for our anniversary, he bought me a peppermint apple blossom tree which blooms these BEAUTIFUL 4-pettled blossoms in the spring. He learned real quick that cut flowers from a florist were not as special to me because they die. I want something that will last forever AND makes a memory.

  71. I think my favorite flower is the azalea. They are GORGEOUS and HUGE in Houston where my parents used to live!

  74. I enjoy all plants, trees and flowers. I love marigolds, petunias, and impatients!!!

  75. I love gardenias! The smell is wonderful! I also really like gerber daisies but they are not a fragrant flower. I also love tulips, they just don’t last so long!

  76. I love any flowers that come from my husband or son!!! My son asked to get me flowers when he was at Sam’s with his daddy the other day and that mixed bunch was my favorite ever!!! He told me he wanted to say “Thank you” and he is only 3.5!!!!

  78. I have had Bradford’s design a couple of lanscape beds for me. Great designs and plants I bought were good quality!

  79. What a great giveaway!! It would be hard to choose a favorite! Whatever is in bloom! I have been working in my flower beds all day and thinking of what an amazing imagination God must have! The sunshine was truly a blessing!

  83. It’s so hard to chose… I love all flowers! I’ll go with Tulips. They’re so beautiful! 🙂

  84. I am a plant nerd, I love them all! And Bradford’s really has a good variety of annuals and perennials!

  85. I love flowers. It is nice to live in a place where I can plant more than marigolds and petunias! I am anxious to get my gardenia back outside to fill out with its glossy leaves. And I couldn’t resist a couple of dark pink gerber daisies yesterday.

  87. What woman doesn’t love flowers? And I’ve always enjoyed getting them from Bradfords because you can count on the quality. Thanks for such a great give-away.

  88. I really like roses. We just bought a house in December and up until then have rented so we haven’t really planted a lot of flowers before this year. I am just learning about different flowers and am very much enjoying it.

  90. I don’t think there is a flower I wouldn’t love to have…I’ve tried lots of different varieties and love them all! This year, I would love to have some big beautiful hanging basket spilling over with lots of color.

  92. I love daisies and lavender. I’d love to win and get some herbs and medicinal flowers to get my herb garden going this year!

  94. Asking me to choose my favorite flower is like asking which is my favorite child (!!) but my all time favorite is the Queen Elizabeth rose. Not only is it prolific, but it is also beautiful and long lasting in arrangements.

  97. I love Azaleas and hanging baskets. If receiving a flower for a holiday, I love getting roses or carnations (I know they are cheap but I love them!).

  98. Oh how I NEED some flowers in my front beds– they’re empty! I love to surround our large tree with sweet potato vines in that bright green & the deep purple colors. They fill in and spill over the edge & look great! I’m not picky with flowers~I love them all!
