Flower Power. The Most Powerful Flowers You'll Ever Buy
LONDON, February 2 - (RED)(TM) is launching a new online flower service called
FLOWE(RED)(TM), allowing you to send beautiful flowers that help save lives.
FLOWE(RED) makes its debut on 2nd February with a gorgeous
collection of contemporary, ethically-sourced flowers available from
www.flowered.com. These are the most powerful flowers you will ever
buy, as all profits from each FLOWE(RED) order go directly to the Global Fund
to help fight AIDS in Africa.
The initial launch collection features over 20 striking
arrangements including: Sweetheart Roses, Blooms and Berries, Pink Sugarbush
and Lily in the Clouds. All are created from a rich range of flowers
including beautiful roses, delectable orchids, fragrant lilies and African
proteas. Every flower design has been crafted with its own distinctive
personality. There are FLOWE(RED) arrangements for all occasions, from
birthdays to bonus days, weddings to welcome gifts, or simply to say thank
you. In addition, a number of limited edition bouquets will also be available
for special occasions throughout the year, including Valentine's Day and
Mother's Day. This Valentine's Day, you can spoil your partner with three
very different rose bouquets; the sultry Queen of Hearts (GBP45), the
seductive Pure Passion (GBP60), or the stunningly charming Vintage Love
(GBP65).
Prices range from GBP20-GBP65 including next day delivery when
ordered before 4pm, and orders can be submitted twenty-four hours a day.
FLOWE(RED) sources many of its flowers directly from flower
farms in Africa, helping to facilitate sustainable business in a number of
African countries. What's more, the purchase of every bouquet helps those
living with HIV/AIDS in Africa so that they can continue caring for their
families and contribute socially and economically to their communities.

Seb Bishop, International CEO (RED), said:
"FLOWE(RED) allows people to give and receive stunning flowers
whilst also helping to save lives in Africa. By sourcing many of the flowers
from Africa, FLOWE(RED) supports sustainable businesses there, as well as
returning the profits to Africa in the form of medical aid. Since 2006, (RED)
partners and events have generated more than $140 million for the Global Fund
to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. FLOWE(RED) will add to this important
programme. Giving flowers whilst saving lives is the perfect match."
