Well folks, time for more Flower Smeller badges to GO! to 5 more worthy folk:
This badge serves to acknowledge others who are, in their own way, smelling the flowers. They maybe regular visitors to this blog, one of our founders blogs or someone that could contribute here who is yet to visit! Maybe they have recovered from an illness, written a book, made waves in the blogosphere, won the lottery, made a major shift in their life, won promotion, quit the rat race, raising a family, discovering their greatness and on it GO!s as more examples from around the world start to surface. They may not even have an online presence at all - that’s where this award differs!
We’d like to present the honourary title of Flower Smeller to the following 5 who have either contributed to this community since the founders have been on board, have recently grabbed our attention in the blogosphere or are smelling their flowers in life in general. The 5 flowers smellers are as follows:
1) I*maginate - The desperate Princess in Dubai.
2) Popular green site Earth & Economy - a portal to all things green.
3) Sara over at UAE based blog Mind, body & Soul.
4) Former founder of flowers and popular visitor here - Bridget Jones.
5) Non blogger Em’s Mum who is visiting us in Dubai at the moment who grows, shows and smells here own flowers back in Devon, UK.
These 5 and of course the founders of GO! Smell the flowers can now GO! award this badge to 5 other flower smellers of your choice! All we ask is when you do you contact us and let us know the 5 you choose so we can add them to the Flower Smeller section of this community and the flower smeller blogroll that is blossoming nicely!
Here are the list of rules to the blogs you are tagging for flower smellers & founders alike:
1. If you are awarded the flower smeller badge or are a founder of GO! Smell the flowers then pop the flower smeller badge up at your blog and award it to 5 others by writing a post with links to the 5 blogs or websites that you choose.
2. You can award this badge to a maximum of 5 people per month from now until eternity as and when you come across more flower smellers.
3. Link to this post so that people can find the origin of where the award started and find their way to this community.
4. Proudly display the Flower Smeller award with a link to the post that you wrote announcing your award.
5. All flower smellers - be prepared to be approached to write a 500 word account of yourself to feature in our 2009 book - The Flower Smellers that some of founders will be featuring in - here’s a few examples we prepared earlier, in PDF format for now over at The Flower Smellers page. As more badges are awarded we’ll start a blogroll of ‘Flower Smellers’ and also include the links in the page, the flower smellers.
So, there we have it, well done to the first five flower smellers! Please accept your award here in comments and then pay it forward and award it to 5 other flowers smellers of your choice - when you’ve awarded the badge do remember to contact us with the details. Cheers!
Usually we would say we don’t need no stinkin’ badges, but in this case (and the case of Blogger’s unite) we will proudly sport with ruffled petals our honorary new Flower Smellerdipitous badgey badge…so, badgelicious! You GO! Flowers, you’re on a blossom roll. We’ll circle back with our votes. Gives us the stems up if you need 500. E&E.
congratulations flower smellers….

Jim & Em, I don’t know what draws me to this blog, but it’s a floral magnet for sure! Thank you so much for this ‘badge’- it has certainly done my ego *wonders*. I do feel very *nice* whenever I visit this blog, and the posts are uplifting.
I would love to ‘award’ this badge to some bloggers I highly respect - flower smellers of the highest degree - and will be in touch with you.
Btw my favourite flower is jasmine - love the scent. Red roses: any woman’s dream! Roses, jasmine & tuberose combined = paradise!
Go! Smell the flowers!
Glad to see other UAE bloggers smelling the flowers
