These flowers from Up in the Air are sweet for sure but I have a flower story that is sweeter. A bit of background first - my mom is 86 and spends the winter in Florida. My dad died 8 years ago.
I take no credit for the following words - I copied them directly from my daughter's Facebook post:
Erin Callahan Wheeler
called my Gram tonight to make sure that she got the Valentine's flowers that we sent her ... she said that she did, and they made her cry because they are calla lilies (those were her wedding flowers and my grandfather would also get them for her over the years). But here's the thing ... we didn't order calla lillies, we ordered stargazer lilies (below). Now I'm crying ... and that my friends, is divine intervention.

Great card, Linda! Love the touch of 3D on a few of the flowers.
Oh, now I'm teary-eyed too! Love it when little things happen to remind us that there is something (whatever you want to call it) bigger than us out there. Such a sweet story to go with this charming card. Love the pop of flowers and rhinestones and ADORE the color combination!
