In 1895, the first astronaut perambulated the moon in search of fresh flowers, and, finding only worthless diamonds, returned brokenhearted with nothing to give his sweetheart. Harvest a bounty of Earth’s effervescent efflorescence with today’s Groupon: for $37, you get $75 worth of fresh flowers from King Florist on Burnet Road. This Groupon can be used toward fresh flowers only; delivery to the Austin area is available for an extra charge.

This locally owned-and-operated bloom boutique first took root in 1927 and has catered to the community's diverse floral needs ever since. Dress up your digs for Halloween with an orange-and-cream colored bloom bouquet ($55+) or a bundle of white hydrangeas called "angelic" ($165+), which is really just a polite word for "ghostly." If you don't buy into the month of marauding spirits and sentient pumpkins, preferring to celebrate rosier holidays such as Valentine's Day all year-round, use today's Groupon toward something sweet for your sweetie, such as a be mine bunch of cymbidium orchids, deep-red roses, and plush hydrangea blooms ($85+). Regardless of occasion, the expert florists at King will prepare your petals with care so that you can focus on the life’s other important details, be they cakes, casseroles, or oral-hygiene techniques. Call or swing by King Florist to place an order. The availability of flowers may vary based on what is fresh and seasonal.

Not valid for weddings or special events. You may redeem this Groupon starting Monday, September 27.

• Holy motherload of floral arrangements. I have been brought to my knees (almost) by the flowers these guys deliver. I cannot tell you the beauty, intrinsic artfulness, and style that come with a beautiful arrangement by them. – Clarrisa C., Yelp
