Who doesn’t love flowers? Who doesn’t love classic VW’s retrofitted as a flower truck? The two combined are just a killer combination of happiness, you can’t help but smile when you see the trucks filled to the brim with beautiful fresh seasonal flowers!
The Original Posies Flower Truck™ was established in 2017 and has been bringing happiness to the community ever since. The owners, David and Stephanie Frank of Oldsmar, Florida have been long time business owners in Tampa Bay since 1991. Their companies, Lightning Technology Group, Inc. an IT company (Update: Lightning was acquired in November of 2021 and is now Big Sur of Tampa) and Thunder Media Group, Inc. a web development and marketing company that services small to medium sized businesses. One would think as techies the idea of owning a flower truck would be a stretch, it’s far from it! Their entire careers have been helping others be successful in their own businesses through the use of technology and creativity. When the opportunity presented itself to own one of the coolest VW in town it was a no brainer for the Franks.
This is not their only classic VW, they also own a 1965 VW Split Window Camper bus they affectionately named Sky. “They are like potato-chips, you can’t have just one” says David Frank.
Boy does that statement hold true because they have added more VW’s to the Posies family. In December of 2021 a gorgeous 1968 Double Cab they named Daisy was purchased sight unseen! Then 6 months later a 1964 Split Window Single Cab named Sweet Pea was acquired and is now working in Winter Park, Florida! Then in December of 2022 the Franks did a business acquisition of another flower truck company out of Georgia, which added 2 more trucks, Miss Rosie and Miss Rain. Rosie had quite a bit of restoration and repair work and has not been put to work yet. To keep the tradition going they added yet one more truck, a 1971 VW Bay Window from another flower truck acquisition out of Cleveland, Ohio.
With Posies popularity and brand recognition they are the bringer of people! When popping up at a local business Posies fans love to follow wherever they go. The trucks are also popular for special events, where guests create their own bouquets by picking single stems from two rows of galvanized buckets filled or selecting pre-made bouquets from baskets
From business pop-ups, grand openings, weddings, parties, photo shoots, charity fundraisers, birthdays and more Posies loves nothing more than to get creative with you and bring the happy to any special occasion! Guests will remember it for years to come.
We drive them everywhere & it’s a blast, even with the old school 4 speed transmission, no air conditioning or power steering
If you give us a honk on the road and we are in Posies her horn doesn’t work, we will try to give you a peace sign
We have the best VW mechanic located in Safety Harbor, we call him the “VW Whisperer” & when either VW visits we like to call it a “spa retreat”
Posies & Daisy are from the same year, 1968, P3 is from 1965, all 3 are German made
P & D have many VW friends and is a part of Local Volks, a long standing Florida VW group, their fav meet is at the Dunedin Causeway for #TBT
The trucks have a sister from another mister, a 1965 VW Camper Bus named Sky #skyvwbus

Proud Posies Moment!
Our girl @tianna_stamas was selected to compete in the Select USA Bowl in L.A for Flag Football!
This is a huge opportunity for her to compete with other selected players from across the country, who then form teams to play against each other.
Some players will be invited to the USA Adult Team Trials! This is THE tryout for the USA National flag football team, which would compete in the 2028 Olympics!
To say we’re proud of her & all she’s accomplished is an understatement! Go get it girl, your Posies family and all of #tampabay is cheering you on!

🌹 Say hi to Posies “Rosie”
The 65 year old Rosie is living her best life as one of our sweetest flower trucks. She went through the biggest restoration out of all of them and holds a special place in our hearts.
With her split window safari window’s and iconic VW front end she stands out in the crowd. The fact that 65 years later she is still working hard as a truck let alone a flower truck is just magical. Shine on Miss Rosie!

When the Posies girls open boxes of Dutch & French peonies just in time for Easter, it’s basically a floral freak-out. Pecher, Sarah Bernhardt, Coral Charm, Red Charm, Alertie, Cerise — yes, we’re squealing over every single one. Don’t be alarmed, we react like this to every flower delivery. Bonus: our dreamy French peonies are fresh from a farm in Nice.

Mom`s the expert - she can tell them apart! 😉 #MomKnowsBest
And, yes, things just got even more interesting around here... We`ve got another truck joining the party! 🎈Like potato chips, you can’t have just one!
Here’s a glimpse of trucks in order of arrival, plus a little before and after becoming “Posified” - yes we made that word up! We seem to confuse people with our Posies clones, of course mom can tell them apart, ask her and she will gladly spew all the #vw details, maybe even show you a picture slideshow. 🤣
We just LOVE our sweet trucks! Can you tell?
#Posies (the OG) - 1968 (hardest working truck in the fleet!)
#Daisy - 1968 (A little spoiled and stays back due to her special ways)
#SweetPea - 1963
@posiesflowertruck_winterpark truck
#Rosie - 1960 (the oldest in the fleet & the most temperamental- but we still love her obnoxious ways!)
#Rain - 1963 (patiently waiting her turn)
#Blossom - 1964 currently inside @armatureworks_tampa truck
#Wildflower - 1971 @posiesflowertruck_sarasota truck
#Myrtle - 1969 (just left to go from green to blue!)
no-name newbie 😂 - 1968 <— help!!
#skyvwbus - 1965 camper bus, our owners very first VW!
