Wordless Wednesday ~ Sharing my Surprise

Hawaiian Protea

A few weeks ago I stopped by my desk only to be surprised.  A Sun City Grand client sent me a thank you note attached to this tropical bouquet.  Being from the Big Island of Hawaii, I especially appreciated my client's generosity and thoughtfulness in sending me Protea.  Hawaiian Protea tropical flowers are typically grown on the island of Maui, on the slopes of Haleakala Crater.

Hello Leolinda,

Way to go. Another satisfied client. Over the years is so gratifying the number times our clients celebrate our efforts on their behalf. I get invited to dinner very often and love it. It allows for some really valuable one on one time and the really cool part is it cements our friendship and relationship. What I also ge are referrals which is the basis of my business.

Wow, beautiful bouquet.  Thanks for letting us know some background on them.

I'm sure that you were surprised and it made your day to receive a token of appreciation from someone you did a great job for.  But, for them to go even further and order a Hawaiian bouquet shows that you really connected there.

Jane, yes, they are pricey.  There was lots of thought in making the decision to create a bouquet of Protea, orchid, ti leaves and vanda leaves.

Leolinda, It is nice to be recognized.  I spent two years in New Zealand.  I love the polynesian cultures.
