Not Just Flowers, San Francisco

Gourds. Cinnamon sticks. Chili peppers. They're not the elements of a traditional floral arrangement, but Andrei and Lisa Krylov like to surprise their clients. After 15 years, the husband-wife team behind Not Just Flowers have become experts in the unconventional. The staff designs flora creations for their clients' friends, office mates, or dinner party hosts. In addition to building traditional bouquets, the shop specializes in sophisticated arrangements of orchids and succulents.

The Krylovs add a distinctly European sensibility to their local materials—Andrei grew up in a field of Russian wildflowers, Lisa in England. Indeed, their clay-red storefront in the Castro wouldn't look out of place on the cobblestone street of an old European city, with the day's freshest blossoms crowding the door and spilling out onto the sidewalk. Some of their most striking work is done offsite, however. Having won two Bride's Choice awards from WeddingWire, the Krylovs specialize in towering arrangements for weddings and other big events.

Groupon Celebrates Pride Month

Over the last 50 years, the gay-rights movement in America has overcome tremendous obstacles to become a powerful voice for inclusion and diversity. Even as it has grown, the movement—like Groupon—is local at heart, and we applaud the commitment to real change that improves everyday lives.

At Groupon, we are happy to add our voices to those celebrating PRIDE, their achievements as a social movement and a continued march to equality for the LGBT community. Plus, we love a chance to dig that rainbow wig out of storage.

This month—and throughout the year—we salute our merchants and customers who support PRIDE and all efforts that promote dignity, respect, and equal opportunity. We're highlighting these merchants' deals with a special badge to show Groupon's pride in working with people who share our values.
