If it weren't for flowers, bees could only suck nectar from picnic sandwiches, cream sodas, and goblins' tears. Give your honey the sweetest stuff with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of flowers, floral arrangements, and more at Flower Bar. A delivery fee of $8 (not included in today's Groupon) applies to the greater Bakersfield area.

The family-owned-and-operated Flower Bar offers botanically deficient customers elegant custom arrangements fashioned from fresh, California-grown flora. The professional petal whisperers are expertly trained in the flower framing arts, and an eclectic selection of stems populates the premises, with a simple bud vase of blossoms starting around $20. For an artful and economical arrangement, sidle up to the counter and order the budget bloom, a weekly-changing bouquet of blooms ($15.95). The bountiful boqueria also boasts a thousands-strong collection of customized stationery, so you can add a thank you, I'm sorry, or congrats on outliving your doppelganger sentiment to any arrangement (prices start at $1.10 per 3"x5" invitation, with orders completed in about four days).

The sun-drenched studio space fosters a clean, bright atmosphere perfect for flower-browsing, and the friendly staff pays homage to its terrestrial benefactress by employing earth-enriching practices, such as recycling scraps into mulch and picking local growers that consider the environment in their operations.
