Additional prize-winning bouquets will be chosen every month — all designed by Teleflora florists across North America, each creating their own unique flower arrangement.
This bouquet of fresh flowers is now being offered on our website, teleflora.com, as will be all subsequent winners. For each of these floral arrangements purchased, Teleflora will donate a portion of the selling price to the American Cancer Society.
Your gift of flowers is also a gift of hope to those whose lives are touched by cancer. Your donation will be used to support the ACS's groundbreaking research and provide educational programs on early detection, proper treatment and psychological survival as well.
So, when you send a bouquet of fresh flowers, send a prizewinner. It's a beautiful way to help fight the battle against cancer.

Meet Teleflora’s winning florist for June,
Mary Brown, Oops a Daisy Flower Company
Indialantic, Florida
"Outrageously fresh flowers, uniquely fresh ideas" – that's the very apt motto of Oops a Daisy Flower Company in Indialantic, Florida, home base for florists Mary Brown, her sister and her mother. A veteran florist of over 30 years, Mary is the June winner of Teleflora's popular Design Challenge, which was created to benefit those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
When told of her award, Mary, a friendly, funny lady, replied, "Didn't anybody else enter?" In fact, many other florists entered, but it was Mary's unique design sense and her passion for "hot, showy colors" that captured the judges' attention.
Mary was inspired to submit her floral arrangement as a tribute to her close friend and long-time supplier Billy Robertson, who fought a brave fight against cancer. She is donating her $1,000 prize money to the American Cancer Society in Billy's honor.
"Billy would have loved this floral arrangement," Mary says. "I hope that many others feel the same way because it is for such a very wonderful cause."
