Honoring Pride Month with Rainbow Flowers + Gifts
At Native Poppy, we believe love is love.
Whether you’re LGBTQIA or an ally, we wanna help you celebrate your love every day.
Our mission as florists goes beyond creating beautiful arrangements; it’s about sharing love through the power of flowers. In honor of Pride Month, we’ve designed three beautiful designs featuring rainbow flowers: a fresh signature garden-style arrangement, a fresh rainbow flower crown, and our third annual edition of a limited batch of Pride Drieds!
25% of every purchase of our Pride rainbow flower arrangement, flower crown, and dried flower wrap is donated directly to The San Diego LGBT Community Center, an organization dedicated to fostering the health and welfare of San Diego’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, nonbinary, immigrant, and HIV communities. By supporting The Center's work, it is our goal to uplift the entire San Diego region, striving for a better and more inclusive future for all.
Wanna know more?? Buckle up baby, because we’re about to embark on a colorful journey filled with love and petals!

Rainbow Pride Flower Arrangement
We’re celebrating Pride Month with beautiful rainbow flowers that are artfully arranged in a modern ceramic vase. Our “Rainbow Pride Flower Arrangement” is a colorful take on our best-selling classic arranged flowers, full of unique, seasonal blooms in all shades of the rainbow.
This arrangement serves as an impressive focal point when entertaining guests at dinner parties, book clubs, brunch and beyond!
Our Pride collection debuted June 1 in honor of National Pride Month, and we continue our fundraiser for The Center through July 16, 2023, so you can enjoy these special edition blooms right through San Diego Pride weekend festivities.
Rainbow Pride Flower Crown
We created a special-edition design of our “Grace” Flower Crown to celebrate Pride!
Adorned with an array of rainbow blooms, this crown adds the perfect touch to your wardrobe for a night on the town during Pride Month, or wear this festive crown during San Diego’s upcoming Pride Parade on July 15th in Hillcrest!

Revel in Pride all year long with our Pride Dried Flower Wrap in a kaleidoscope of hues.

Celebrate Pride by Supporting LGBTQ+ Makers
Native Poppy stocks gorgeous gifts from LGBTQ-owned businesses all year long! We are so proud of the small businesses who help us stock our shelves – check out a few of the mega-talented, queer-owned businesses who we partner with year round.
Ash + Chess
We know love stories come in all shapes and sizes, so we strive to carry cards that celebrate weddings, anniversaries with inclusive imagery and designs. Some of our favorite greeting cards come from Ash + Chess, a stationary and gift company run by queer and trans couple Ashley Molesso and Chess Needham. From their studio is Kingston, New York, they design cards like our bestselling Happily Ever After Card – we absolutely love their vibrant, uplifting designs. Stop in store to check out their art prints and stickers, too – featuring bold messages of unity to uplift the queer community.
Poppy & Pout
In 2014, Derek Cooper shaped the future of lip care with the creation of his all-natural lip balms. Together with his co-owners Dan Robison and Krysta Morgan, they built Poppy & Pout, our go-to chapstick to keep in your pocket at all times. We love this LGBTQ-owned business’ lip balms because they align with Native Poppy’s eco-conscious values – from their 100% natural and cruelty-free ingredients, to their eco-friendly cardboard tube packaging. Plus, they’re powered by flowers! They use Sunflower seed oil as part of their recipe, for extra smooth lips.
We carry Poppy & Pout lip balms in Pink Grapefruit, Sweet Mint, Lemon Bloom, and Pomegranate Peach. The sweet mint is a house-fave!
Camp Craft Cocktails
Rhonda Stringfellow and her wife Suzanah Raffield created Camp Craft Cocktails to encapsulate the spirit of togetherness they shared as camp counselors in their youth, offering an invitation to savor their delectable creations with loved ones. Every sip fosters a sense of camaraderie and celebration, making connections that transcend physical distance.
Camp Craft Cocktail kits make it easy to create your own infused liquor for happy hour at home! Cocktail enthusiasts will love the delicious blends of flavors like Hibiscus Ginger Lemon and Pineapple Jalapeno (Pssst: the Pineapple Jalapeno one is spiiiiicy!) Prefer a no-proof beverage? These kits can be prepared with boiling water instead of booze, to create a tasty mixer to combine with your favorite seltzer for an alcohol-free treat.
The Bower Studio
Isa Wang and Vincent Frano created The Bower Studio with their mission to showcase the diversity of North American flora and fauna. Their small Massachusetts company is known for their earthy greeting cards with intricate illustrations, and a special hidden feature: each card is embedded with wildflower seeds!
With each purchase of the Monarch Butterfly Card, you can also give back to mother earth by planting your card. These cards are made with real seeds including: Bird’s Eye, Clarkia, Black Eyed Susan, Sweet Alyssum, Catchfly and Snapdragon.
Darroch and Michael Putnam
Darroch and Michael Putnam's floristry studio is New York City's go-to for artistic floral installations, and their first book, written together in 2018, features 600 colorful flower varieties that they use in their designs. This floral design power couple has had their work featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle Décor, and their book functions as their design guide for planning large-scale floral events.
Flower Color Guide is our go-to recommendation for all florists learning about color theory, and we love how informative the book is when it comes to building your own arrangement. The perfect guide for discovering your fave rainbow flowers all year round.
However you choose to celebrate Pride, whether it’s with vibrant parades, supportive gatherings, or personal reflections, we want to emphasize one crucial message: You are loved and accepted here.
Continue blooming, Wild Flower.
