Like children, flowers are not born with romantic aptitude but must learn it from a lifetime of listening to the whispered sweet nothings of amorous bees. Pollinate relationships with today’s Groupon to Loess Hills Floral Studio in Council Bluffs. Choose between two options:

• For $35, you get a seasonal arrangement in a signature vase with delivery within a 20-mile radius of its location (up to an $85 value).
• For $25, you get $50 worth of any arrangements or gifts.

Floral designer Rhonda Bullington crafts elegant silk and fresh, seasonal arrangements in custom configurations. Inside the shop, vases, local artwork, and holiday décor shift anxiously in their posts, waiting to outfit homes and the sets of sitcoms that take place in homes. A rotating lineup of seasonal blooms and greens, with autumnal selections such as bella donna and sunflowers, mingle in a fetching vase and brighten rooms in original arrangements.

Four-inch autumnal mums fill small decorative pots ($20–$25), and the graceful petals of five-inch orchids beautify rooms or provide beds for loyal pet bees ($30–$45). A half-dozen roses in an ornate design ($34.99) add polish to special occasions. Show stopper arrangements ($75–$100), custom-created for important events, adorn grateful tables with aromatic stems and stamens. As a full-service florist, Rhonda keeps a list of customers' favorite flowers and important dates, allowing parents, spouses, or extremely dedicated pet owners to receive a gentle reminder about upcoming anniversaries and birthdays.
