Show Mother’s Day love with a creative, fresh, flower arrangement from D.C. florist Volanni!
Michael Lanni, the artist behind these arrangements, puts intuitive care into each of his designs. As he likes to say, “This is our art, and flowers are the medium.”
Pick out the perfect Mother’s Day arrangement and place your order online. Volanni makes deliveries throughout the DMV. The deliveries can go out Friday, Saturday and Sunday (May 8th-10th).
Mother’s Day is approaching fast on May 10th and flower availability is limited, so get your order in!

“Dear PoPville,
We’ve had a condo board transition at my building, and have discovered that our condo association has apparently never filed taxes. A quick internet search tells me that this is a common mistake – people assume they don’t have to but in fact we do. We have no idea how to go about doing things with back years and all that, so we’re looking for a CPA/accountant who has experience with condo associations in the DMV area. Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
Sunday a group of juveniles were shooting fireworks (not Roman candles) at people around 6:30 pm. They were on the metro branch trail overpass above M st and shooting them at people below. (Right in front of NoMa metro stop)”
