June 8 is National Best Friend Day, and honestly? Your best friend deserves more than a meme in the group chat. They deserve flowers. Real, beautiful, “I thought of you specifically” flowers.
The trick is choosing the right ones, because every friendship has its own personality, and the best floral gift is one that matches it. Here are 8 arrangement ideas for every kind of best friend, all rooted in Bloomaker’s love of indoor blooming flowers and Dutch floral tradition.
1. For the Friend Who Makes Every Room Better
The Flower: A bold red or deep crimson amaryllis bulb, try the classic Red Lion.
Why it works: Some people just have presence. They walk in and the energy shifts. Red amaryllis are exactly the same. Big, dramatic, impossible to ignore. This is the arrangement for the friend who makes things more fun just by showing up.
2. For the Friend Who’s Always Calm
The Flower: A white or cream amaryllis, like the elegant Christmas Gift variety with its ivory petals.
Why it works: They’re the one you call when everything feels like too much. They bring stillness. Clean, luminous white blooms do the same thing. They make a space feel peaceful. Send them the flower that matches their energy.
3. For the Friend Who Loves Beautiful Things
The Flower: A Double Nymph or Double Dragon, Bloomaker’s full, peony-like double amaryllis varieties.
Why it works: They have good taste and they know it. They’d rather have one extraordinary thing than ten ordinary ones. Double amaryllis blooms are lush, layered, and genuinely stunning. They’re the flowers of someone who appreciates quality, and so is this friend.
4. For the Low-Maintenance Friend (the Good Kind)
The Flower: A Bloomaker Waxed Amaryllis.
Why it works: You two can go months without talking and pick right back up like no time has passed. Send them the bloom that works the same way. No watering, no soil, no upkeep. A waxed amaryllis grows entirely on its own and blooms beautifully with zero effort. Just like your friendship.
5. For the Friend Who’s Always Growing
The Flower: A hydroponic hyacinth or hydroponic daffodil arrangement (available to retailers only, not sold online).
Why it works: This friend is always in motion, trying new things, leveling up, turning over a new leaf every season. Bloomaker’s hydroponic blooms are all about growth without limits, no soil needed, just water and light. That feels right for someone who’s always becoming a newer version of themselves.
6. For the Friend Who Deserves Something Extra
The Flower: The Bloomaker™ Ball (patent pending).
Why it works: They’ve shown up for you. Through the moves, the breakups, the weird phases, all of it. They deserve a gift that’s a little more. The Bloomaker™ Ball (patent pending) is a reusable hydroponic growing vessel that blooms season after season. It’s beautiful, it’s thoughtful, and it says this is not a last-minute gift. Because they’re not a last-minute friend.
7. For the Friend Who Needs a Pick-Me-Up
The Flower: A bright pink amaryllis, like the cheerful Apple Blossom with its vivid pink and white blooms.
Why it works: They’re going through something. Life has been a lot lately. Send them the bloom equivalent of a hug: warm, bright, genuinely lovely, and impossible to look at without feeling a little better. That’s Apple Blossom.
8. For the Friend Who Lives Far Away
The Flower: Any Bloomaker amaryllis bulb, shipped directly to their door.
Why it works: Distance is hard. But a beautiful blooming flower showing up at someone’s apartment when they weren’t expecting it? That closes the gap in a way a text just can’t. Bloomaker ships directly, so you can send something meaningful to your person no matter where they are.
Happy National Best Friend Day. Go send your person something beautiful.
