It started with one bouquet.

Flower4u began with a few flowers for her. Not a big gesture, just a small page where I could put a bouquet together, tuck a note in with it, and send it her way as a link, whenever she came to mind. Which was often.

It was only ever meant for the two of us. But each bouquet gave me an idea for the next one: flowers chosen for what they mean, a wrap and a ribbon, a note in my own words, a background for the occasion. I kept adding, and the small page kept growing.

At some point it stopped being a project for one person and became Flower4u: a place where anyone can make a bouquet that says something and send it to someone they miss, across a city or across time zones.

It is still built the same way, one feature at a time, for the people who deserve more than a reaction emoji.
