Your fresh flowers may look a little thirsty when you arrive home, this is normal. Please follow these simple steps to care for your flower bouquet:
Prepare a clean vase or container with about 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If available mix in a little flower food to prevent bacteria and give added nutrients.
Remove your bouquet from the paper wrap. Remove any foliage from the flowers that will fall below the waterline of your container. This prevents the growth of mold or bacteria which can cause premature wilting.
Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut your stems diagonally, approximately one inch from the bottom of the stem. The angled cut allows for a larger surface area for water absorption.
Place your bouquet in water immediately after trimming the stems.
Keep your fresh flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts and excessive heat.
We recommend changing your water every 48-72 hours to help keep your flowers fresh. You can also give them a fresh trim when you change the water to keep them fully hydrated.
1. Remember exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room, sunlight, etc.) will help the flowers bloom, while storing your flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Most flowers should be kept in a cool, dark location unless you are trying to speed up the blooming process. Always avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Also, keep flowers away from fruits, vegetables and/or plants which produce ethylene gas. Ethylene in the surrounding area could cause your flowers to wilt.
Peonies are shipped dry so please open your order immediately and follow these steps to hydrate your peonies and allow them time to bloom. If you have questions, comments or concerns about your peonies please contact us as soon as possible.
Every great chapter has a beautiful conclusion. 💫
Due to changing commercial needs, our time in this location has come to an end. We are leaving immensely proud of everything we did, and thankful for every single memory made.
To our phenomenal Posies Flower Truck team: You are the heart of the business. Thank you for keeping everything running flawlessly over the past 2 years, especially while our fearless leader faced her health battle this last year. Everyone went above and beyond, and you kept the joy alive for our customers every single day. 💗
While we bid farewell to our FIRST 5-day-a-week INSIDE Posies shop, this isn’t good bye by any means. We learned, we grew, and you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be our last inside location. <— manifesting! 😂
On to the next Posies adventure and don’t forget, you can find us ALL OVER Tampa Bay, findposies.com and you can sendposies.com knowing that $2 of every delivery will go directly to Moffitt Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Research Department! You can also add a “Pedal it Forward” item at any of the trucks to collectively give flowers to the patients and healthcare heroes at Moffitt.
We love you Tampa Bay and thank you for supporting us no matter where we find ourselves together! 🛻🌹💕

Madison here…Posies is a family-owned business, and I’m lucky enough to run it alongside my mom, Stephanie, who is truly THE biggest force behind everything we do. (If you know her, you know “force” may actually be putting it mildly. 😂)
Late last year, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and treatment at @moffittcancercenter , I’m VERY happy to say she’s doing well, she’s finished treatment, she’s back at Posies, and she hasn’t missed a beat.
I couldn’t be prouder of her. I’m proud of the way she faced this chapter, proud to work alongside her, and especially proud that something so personal to our family has inspired a new way for our little flower business to give back.
We’re so excited to officially introduce Posies with a Purpose, a way for our little flower business and our community to give back to Moffitt Cancer Center, the place that took such wonderful care of one of our own!

It’s time for us to go…
For the last 2 years, our little blue flower truck has had the absolute honor of being your “shop of happy” inside Armature Works.
As plans evolve and changes are inevitable our space is moving to welcome a new food vendor. Our time inside the Heights Public Market comes to an end. Our final day will be this SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4.
Please come say goodbye to our sweet AW staff, take some pictures while the truck sits in its cute spot, enjoy the flowers and shop some of our merchandise - everything must go!
Anyone who knows Posies knows our vintage VW trucks are more than a place to buy flowers. They’re part of the experience; bright, accessible, interactive and filled with beautiful blooms. As this chapter comes to a close, we’re forever grateful to every person who stopped by our truck, built a bouquet, celebrated a milestone, took home some cute Posies merch, or simply came to say hello. Thank you for making our little corner feel like home. 💕
Of course you can still find us every Friday and Saturday and on an occasional Sunday at the historic Hyde Park Village parked at our favorite fountain, 11am-3pm. You can continue to visit findposies.com for all of our other upcoming pop up locations and complete schedule. We’re also available for private events.
You can order Posies flowers for delivery or sign up for a subscription service by visiting sendposies.com.
To our amazing Posies team, you know what a year this has been (this story is coming next) and through it you gave 110% day in and out!! We’re so proud of you, what a wild ride we’ve been on together. 💗
And as the Led Zeppelin song title says “Ramble On” - words we live by at Posies! We love you Tampa Bay!

NEW & only Armature Works!
Because Posies lives in the ’60s and ’70s, we just had to dive into a retro project. It took months to complete (don’t ask!), but in true Posies fashion, it’s not just any cute little red vending machine.
A bit of history: A couple of years ago, local Dunedin artist Brent Gill (@brentdesigns) surprised us with a hand-drawn rendering of Posies that blew us away! Since then, we’ve commissioned him for more—and yes, he’s an active member of the local VW community, which is just so apropos. 🤙
We wanted this vending machine to feature local artists while giving you a collectible piece of Posies history. In an AI-driven world, we love dialing it back old school and supporting our creative community.
This first series, affectionately titled “The Fleet,” features 4 of Brent’s amazing hand-drawn illustrations of our sweet truck at some of our most well-known local spots.
But, that’s not all! We’ve hidden some extra surprises inside, including free bouquets, flowers, discounts, and a few “Golden Ticket” scratch-offs. 🎟️✨All it takes is $1 (4 quarters—and yes, we can make change) to collect and win! This is a limited series, so don’t wait to grab yours. 🎰🎨
(Disclaimer: the child was hoping for ice cream @chillbrosicecream & was not mad 😡 about his Brent Gill print. 😂)
Are you a local artist who wants to collaborate on a future series? We’d love to play! Email info@posiesflowertruck.com.

Dragging the line, more like dragging the VW! A glimpse back to a “simpler” 😉 time when the Posies fleet was 4. We thought we had our hands full back then (2023) and here we are with +5 more. “Give them ALL to me” she said, and yes oddly enough this VW obsession is driven (yes she does that too) by a lady. The man in the reel does all the “dragging of the line” aka pushing, lots and lots of pushing. 💕
(Side note: The aqua colored one is Blossom who’s now living her best life at the iconic @armatureworks_tampa)
