Flowers often have the ability to say what words cannot, such as "I love you," "Your carbon dioxide intake is worrying me," or "Water me." Nod in silent response with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of flowers at The Bloom Closet, located in Martinez.

Owned and operated by florist Jean Gordon, The Bloom Closet expertly assembles fresh flower arrangements, plants for permanent botanical fixtures, and gifts to suit any occasion. Visitors can collate a customized bouquet or peruse The Bloom Closet's cornucopia of preassembled arrangements. Choose from collections featuring specific flowers, such as carnations, lilies, snapdragons, and gladiolus, or choose from displays assembled by occasion.

Those in need of a sympathy gift can pick up the assorted flower bright mix basket, which mixes daisies, mums, lilies, solidago, and greenery ($89.99). The Bloom Closet's birthday baskets celebrate the gift of life with the hydrangea cube ($42.99), and the Beer Lover gift sets a floral froth of white carnations afloat in a beer mug filled with amber glass beads, a far more appropriate gift for a brew buff than a Chia pet that survives on oatmeal stout ($29).
