In the happy world of BloemBox – founder, product designer and
botanist (love that!) Laura Quatrochi, is a visionary and hard working plant
lover who cultivated her horticulture roots as a scientist and her creative
charm, to produce a collection of glamorous, too-cute seeds or bulbs,
discretely sheathed in the chic tissue paper slip, er, biodegradable ribbon
sleeve, tucked inside the BloemBox signature lime-green, petite, glossy, hatbox
that looks for all the world like it is channeling Lily Pulitzer and those hot
Palm Beach colors.

I wanted to add Laura Quatrochi, BloemBox designer pointed out that the spring Poppy Collection was inspired by their customers who love poppies. "So it was time to merge three poppies from two of our BloemBox assortments (Originals and Perennials) and add three new poppies to make a Poppy Assortment! How much do you love that?!
