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!
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 for over 30 years. Their companies, Lightning Technology Group, Inc. an IT company (Update: Lightning was acquired in November of 2021 and is now Big Sur Technologies 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 adding more VW’s to the Posies family has become a real thing! A 1968 Double Cab they named Daisy was added in December 2021, a 1964 Split Window Single Cab named Sweet Pea who lives and works in Winter Park, Florida, then theres Rosie, Rain, Blossom & most recently “Newbee” who hasn’t been officially named.
With Posies popularity and brand recognition they are the bringer of people! When popping up at local businesses 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 with beautiful flowers or selecting pre-made bouquets, single stems and a variety of other creative ways.
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 the OG just know her horn doesn’t work, we will try to give you a peace sign
We have the best VW mechanic located in Safety Harbor, Florida & we call him the “VW Whisperer” & when either VW visits we to it as a “Spa Retreat”
Posies fleet ranges from 1960 to 1971 & are all German made
There’s a large Florida based VW group called Local Volks that all of the girls belong to
The trucks have a sister from another mister, a 1965 VW Camper Bus named Sky #skyvwbus

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!

LOVE 💕
Flower creativity on so many levels! Here’s a little snippet of the beautiful blooms we have the privilege of working with on a daily basis! While this business is very demanding & at times so very hard, the reward is in the work not only what we create but what you create!

“Hanging Heliconia” aka Lobster Claw, Fuzzy Heliconia.
We brought this unique tropical stem back from a recent road trip to Miami. It’s been welcomed with mixed feelings around Posies! Some of us absolutely love it and others, well they feel it’s what nightmares are made from. We won’t lie it is odd, quite the conversation piece that’s for sure. We were able to add it to an arrangement this week and patiently we wait to hear how well or not it was received by guests! Some of us were happy to see it go, ha ha!
A few facts:
The Hanging Heliconia is botanically known as Heliconia rostrata. This exotic tropical flower is native to South America and can be found from Columbia to Peru, but is mainly imported from Hawaii. Mature plants can reach heights of 10 feet.
(Available by special order)

On a hunt for the perfect vase? @cityfurniture surely won’t disappoint! We had the hardest time picking just one as they’re all so pretty! (Don’t do what we did, there’s plenty of parking 😂!!)
You’ll see at the end why we picked the one we picked, slightly obvious- of course, time to come home with us pretty Posies vase! 💕🛻
