Flowers, mankind’s greatest enemy, are finally on the ropes thanks to global warming. Teach your children how to hunt the last of these enormous nitrogen junkies by capturing them into vase captivity with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of fresh flowers, fantastic arrangements, fruit baskets, and more at Belvedere Flowers. Pick up your floral frills from their Havertown shop or have them delivered for an additional fee (check the bottom of this page for available delivery areas).

With half a century in the flower business, Belvedere has the blossoms to mark all occasions, be they joyous, somber, or rife with romantic mixed signals. Keep it timeless when thanking your mechanic with a dozen variety-colored roses ($35), well-wish with the Best Medicine bundle ($85) of bright lilies, hydrangea, and gerbera daisies, or mark the summer season with the Sunny Skies arrangement ($55–$85)—a floral quiver of sunflowers, red roses, and pale-blue delphinium. If your true love isn't a sheep and can't eat flowers, try a fruit basket instead: the entry-level Fruitful Fancies ($55) ties up a bevy of seasonal fruits in a cute, ribboned package. And for longer-lasting lovely, pick up a whole blooming plant, such as a darling pairing of African violets ($25) planted in a shaped basket of living moss.

A family operation, the mom of Belvedere Flowers owner, Adam, still picks up the phone to receive orders, and his dad, now retired, spends his days puttering around the shop dispensing puzzling yet sage flower-based aphorisms. Belvedere's flower arrangers, Linda and Susan, have 33 years of experience between them and work hard to customize their creations to each customer's need and desired expression, even if the emotion is as hard to nail as "fun guilt" or "maudlin irreverence." Belvedere can deliver flowers to funeral homes, hospitals, surprise weddings, and play-ball pits.
