Tasteful Plants and Flowers from Red Envelope

Evergreen Holiday Trees, Lotus Bamboo Palm Bonsai, and Palm Amaryllis from Red Envelope.

Conventional flower delivery services rarely have the simple, modern arrangements that I’d want my loved ones to receive. A bundle of carnations and baby's breath isn’t so much a gift as it is a declaration of bad taste. Fortunately, I've discovered that Red Envelope has a good selection of fresh flowers and plants in refined containers. For the price of a cut flower bouquet ($30–60), you can get a lotus bamboo in stoneware, an herb greenhouse growing kit, and one of several types of bonsai trees in modern ceramic pots with clean lines.
