We've been asked by the team at The Flower Council to get your nominations for which Mumsnetter you'd like them to send a bouquet of flowers to and why.
The company are keen to get folks thinking of flowers as a gift to cheer someone up, to say hello or just because you want to - rather than being for special occasions.
They also want to get folks thinking about what their friends favourite flower may be - they say "The aim of the Favourite Flower campaign is to show that a flower is not just a present (and not just a bouquet of flowers), but a special present, because when you know or try to think about what flower is your friends favourite then it makes the present very personal and special".
So please on this thread add your nomination for a MNer who you think would appreciate a bunch of flowers - it could be anyone (not yourself though!) - and what flower you think they would like. We will decide on the final winners and contact 3 MNers for their address and then The Flower Council will send them the flowers! (worth c£30 each)
We'd also like you to post your thoughts below on flowers - for example.......
~ How often you get given them or buy them for yourself, what you love about flowers, any variety you dislike, what it means to you to get flowers or to send them.
~ Do you routinely send them as a gift and if so what prompts you to do this?
~ Do you pick which flower to send to which friend - is this based on colours, fragrances, time of year or what you think they like.
~ Do you know / or do you think you know what your best friends favourite flower is? How do you know? What about your family - what do they like?
Share your thoughts on this thread and don't forget your nomination.
thanks MNHQ
PS They have also developed a very lighthearted game - check it out here and let us know what you think - it's designed to identify your Favourite Flower and if you can guess your friends you could both win a FREE bouquet.
This topic is for sponsored discussions. If you'd like to run one with us, please email [email protected].

I met Cupoftea last week CMOT, she is absolutely gorgeous and delightful and very young looking 
I'd like to nominate Tiktok. It's because of her great advice that DD2 is ebf, after a rocky rocky time with DD1. If nothing else she has parbly saved me about £150 on formula so far. Something cheery please, as people are sometimes rude to her 
but she is always patient and kind back. Those expensive furry flowers would do the trick.
trazzletoes should have something long lasting and cheery as she has just had a diagnosis of cancer on her 3 year old and is facing a long road of treatments.
How often you get given them or buy them for yourself, i buy myself freesias or lilies on the odd ocaision when I can afford it and feel like a treat
what you love about flowers, the smells and colours and sheer beauty of the petals when you look really closely
any variety you dislike, those little daffodil type that stink.. stocks?
what it means to you to get flowers or to send them. it always feels like someone is thinking of me or me them when I send them
Do you routinely send them as a gift and if so what prompts you to do this?
I send them for Mother's Day and birthdays to my mum, and sometimes in between to cheer her up. (lost my dad in June
Do you pick which flower to send to which friend - is this based on colours, fragrances, time of year or what you think they like.
What I think they'll like usually or simply by the colours.
Do you know / or do you think you know what your best friends favourite flower is? my best friend loves roses,How do you know? she grows them and says how lovely they are.
What about your family - what do they like? my mum loves freesias best because of the smell, and large crysanths cos they remind her of my dad who used to grow / show them.
Ok, have had time to think and my nominatins are, the knitting crew for obvious reasons what an amazing bunch of woman. MaryZ always gives fantastic advice on the teenage boards (she needs to write an advice book) and bupcakes, I love the fact that she stands her own when on a thread and backs down to no one, with a great sense of humour,
Bright colourful flowers (not the nasty artifice blue ones tho 
) ooh yes wild flowers like cornflowers and poppies.
