Flowers express sentiments that struggling poets cannot convey with their half-hearted attempts at wordplay and half-baked attempts at fireworks displays. Orate an ode through orchids and oleanders with today's Groupon: for $22, you get $45 worth of plants, flowers, gifts, and more at Flowers of Canterbury. Your Groupon is good for greenery grabbing in-store at the West Washington Center Road location, or you can opt to have flowers sent to your stone-hearted foosball team captain.

Flowers of Canterbury arranges blooming bunches of colorful, seasonally appropriate flowers and plants. Nothing says summertime like staring living, breathing plants in the face, such as a living bunch of vivacious violets—a friendly purple plant that will grow on its caretaker across many seasons ($21.95+). Or reignite staring contests with flowers by enlisting a contender from a variety of seasonal arrangements, such as the U.S.A.-chant-warranting Spirit of America bouquet ($34.95+).

This family-owned-and-operated shop has been brightening budding relationships and arranging marriages for chrysanthemum stems and begonia pistols for the past three decades. Whether you stop by the shop or ship a bouquet of love via the Internet stork, your recipient will be thanking you, thanking Flowers of Canterbury, and thanking the sun for skipping college to create photosynthesis.
