Folks, I can’t believe nobody got it right and nobody will receive free flowers! So, read on as this is a good time to do something for your education;)

1. What happens when you put a brown egg into vinegar over night?
- nothing
- the egg shell turns white
- the egg shell dissolves –> right answer and “free flower answer”

2. In 1722 the Europeans first discovered Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. But which Europeans exactly?

Listen up now, as not all is lost! You can still win a free bouquet of flowers! Today our traditional Beyond Blossoms Easter Egg Hunt starts and we already hid the “eggs” in various places on our website. So browse through the site, count the “eggs” and send us an email to info@beyondblossoms.com with your count. Please note, any mention of the word “egg” on this flower blog is not included.

We will randomly select three winners who correctly counted the total. All winners will receive a free bouquet of flowers valued at $34.95! The egg hunt starts today and ends on March 20th by 1:00 PM EST. (Only one entry per person. No purchase necessary to participate.)

Good luck again!

Dear readers and Beyond Blossoms flower enthusiasts,

Long time no blog! I am terribly sorry for the long break in blogging. I don’t want to get bogged down into details on what happened within the past few months at Beyond Blossoms but let me tell you this much, we are working on a new version for this blog and the content parts of our website in order to bring you more and better content on flowers, the industry, decorating tips with flowers and much more.

Therefore, I want to jump right into our new post, which is, with it being just 3 weeks away, of course about Easter … and about flowers! I prepared an Easter riddle for you this time with answers to follow the week before Easter. And it would not be a good riddle if there wasn’t something to win. So please participate and send us your answers to info@beyondblossoms.com now until March 18th 2008 and win a free bouquet valued $35. The winner will be announced on this blog on the 18th of March.
