They’re Beautiful!
You may have noticed that the crane has left and there’s a new store open for business on the street at the top of this page. :) Over the past couple of months, we’ve been steadily crafting our first Jackson Fish “Experience”. This first humble offering is They’re Beautiful! – Gorgeous, Free, One-of-a-Kind Flowers.
It’s our first small step in creating high quality branded online software experiences. A special word of thanks to our inaugural sponsor – Vosges Haut-Chocolat who are making these lovely virtual flowers possible. Here’s how it works:
Want to send flowers?
- Head over to www.theyrebeautiful.com and work with the florists to send a unique bouquet to your friend or loved one.
On the receiving end:
- You’ll receive e-mail letting you know your flowers have arrived. Your flowers are waiting for you at www.theyrebeautiful.com where you can enjoy your one-of-a-kind bouquet.
Want to enjoy your flowers indefinitely?
- Place your bouquet in your own virtual greenhouse and water your flowers so they don’t wilt and die (yes, your flowers will die if you don’t take care of them).
Want to show off all the lovely and thoughtful bouquets and cards that you’ve received?
- Place your greenhouse in your blog or other webpage with the EMBED code provided.
The florists have tons of fresh flowers in stock so feel free to go crazy.
Thanks so much for checking out our first offering. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we have enjoyed building it (and we’re not done yet).

Looks great Hillel…we’ll see if my wife likes it just as much as I just sent her some flowers. I especially like what you’ve done with you’re main page with having the “flower shop” filled into the Jackson Fish skyline.
Looking forward to many more experiences.

I love the flowers, but I just might love the flower shop on the same block as Jackson Fish even more!
Great job Jenny, Walter and Hillel!!

Origami flowers are awesome.
This is so very nice!
I started trying to make a Facebook app out of this to display my Greenhouse but ran into a wall as they have a strict no-javascript policy.
I don’t know if that’s something y’all are thinking of or are kicking around but if y’all want a crash test dummy, please let me know :)

An interesting, well-implemented idea. Congratulations and thank you.
The idea of of the flowers degrading and dying brings a real world sense to things, which is a nice touch.
