a hard loss

For Priya
I'm not going to pretend I know what to say. I just didn't want the week to go past without you hearing from me. I'm around, any hour, and you don't have to reply to this.


Type one honest sentence about what’s going on. We choose the flowers for what you actually meant, tell you why each one is in there, and send it as a beautiful link with your words and voice inside. No app, no address, nothing to post.
Free to arrange yourself · $1.99 to have them chosen · Voice note always free
Tell us how you feel and who is making you feel it. Say it the way you’d say it out loud — messy is fine, a sentence is plenty. We’ll find the flowers that say it back.
Type in the box — this is the real thing, not a demo
Every one is real output.
The sentence and the message are the sender’s; the flowers, and the reason for each of them, are what came back. Nothing here was written to look good on this page.
My friend Priya's mum died last Tuesday. I've started three messages and deleted all of them. I don't want to say the wrong thing but saying nothing is worse.

For Priya
What came backWhen you cannot find the words
I said something careless to my brother Danny at dinner on Sunday and he left before pudding. He hasn't answered his phone since. I know exactly what I said.

For Danny
What came backFor Danny, after Sunday dinner

For Sam
What came backA plain reminder before June arrives

For Ade
What came backSeven years and she did not quit.

For Bea
What came backFor Bea, quietly
My mate Tom has had a genuinely grim few months and nobody sends men flowers. There's no occasion. I just want something to turn up at his door.

For Tom
What came backSomething solid to land on his doorstep.
My neighbour Margaret fed my cat and watered every plant in the flat for the three weeks I was in hospital, and then wouldn't take anything for it.

For Margaret
What came backFor Margaret, who looked after everything

For Nia

I've been working in Dubai for three years and I send my mum money every month. She never mentions it. I want her to know the money isn't the point and I've never been able to say that on the phone.

A note with it
What came backFor what doesn't get said on the phone
My colleague Femi and his wife have their thirtieth anniversary on Saturday. He talks about her every single day and I don't think anyone at work has ever said anything about it.

For Femi
What came backFor thirty years and every day between
Rachel is leaving on Friday after eleven years. She trained half this office including me, and the card going round has forty signatures and nothing on it that means anything.

For Rachel
What came backFor Rachel, after eleven years of real work

Nobody keeps a text message.
They keep this one. It opens on a link, it says who it is from and why each flower is in it, and it does not disappear up a scroll.
One sentence, however it comes out. No occasion dropdown.
Chosen for what you said, each with a line about why it is in there.
Move stems around, write your message, add a 30-second voice note.
They open it on their phone. No app, no account, no address.
Tell us who matters and when. A few days before, we’ll have the bouquet ready and your message drafted. You press send.
What she is like. What is going on with her lately. What not to bring up. Asked one question at a time, never as a form, and never all at once — the next bouquet knows all of it.
Birthdays, anniversaries, the anniversary of something hard. Anything worth marking, including the ones no calendar has a category for.
A few days before, we write to you — with the flowers already chosen and the message already drafted. Change what you want. Nothing goes to them until you press send.
Arranging a bouquet yourself is free and always will be. Paying is for having the flowers chosen for you — and, if you want it, for never being the person who remembered on the Thursday. The two plans differ only in how many people you keep, and how often you send.
Bunchnote is a digital bouquet — a keepsake link with your words and voice inside it. Nothing to post, nothing to deliver, nothing that wilts.

For when that list is closer to fifty. A big family, a team, a lot of people — and enough sends to do it without rationing.
A thirty-second voice note is free on every plan, always. It is the best thing in here and it is never going behind a price.
Anything else you would want to know first? The questions people ask.
Curious what each one means? Read 52 flowers and what they mean.
No. It is a digital bouquet: photographed flowers, arranged for one person, that opens as a link and never wilts.
Because you do not need their address, and they keep the link. It is still there in a year, which a bunch of tulips is not.
Arranging a bouquet yourself is free. $1.99 once has the flowers chosen for you. A plan pays for keeping your people and their dates, and for composed bouquets each month.
Sign in and pick your own from the garden — 52 flowers, each with what it means. Moving them around is free.
No. They open the link on their phone and there is nothing to install or sign up for.
It plays inside the bouquet, in your own voice, up to thirty seconds. It is the best part, and it is always free.
Yes. Cancel from your plan page and it runs to the end of the period you paid for. You never need a plan to send one.
You do not have to know what to say to them. That is the part we are for.
