Grab yourself a cup of tea and take 10 to watch the Video compilation courtesy of creative genius, author and flower smeller Mike French - Just head over to the ‘Meet the founders’? section of the community. We’ve moved the clip from this section whilst we GO! slicken up our servers to increase the speed of upload here at flowers.
Cool eh! His talent is second to none and we are convinced he is destined for great flower smelling things. Comments please!
That was cool. Being still kinda new, it was a great way to “see” the people behind the names.
Good video.
Now if I just commit it to memory.
LOL Jillian, quite a bunch we have here eh!
Oh yeah. Never boring. I’m glad you guys made it a permanent part of the site. When new people join up… it can be a nice way of getting to know some of the people around here.
Good idea Jonathan.
LOL… I’ll definitely watch it more than once!
And thanks Mike!!
AWESOME!!!!! You ROCK Bionic Man!!!
What a great post to wake up to!!! Bridget totally loves!
Great choice of scene you picked for her mate, she’s got a special connection with the ocean Bridget has!
Couldn’t get to the end of the video though, connection is lousy at my place, and it got stuck in the middle of Angry’s slides. Am I glad you featured me amongst the first ones ha!
Can’t wait to get to the office in a couple of days to see it all properly!!
Did you feature Gareth wearing Olga’s bra?!!
LOL with The Hulk!! From now on, that’s how I’m calling Angry!!

Mike - you’re a bloomin marvel- that’s what you are!
The most productive 10 min start to the day ever - indebted sir!
You really have got the essence of every founder - loved my clip (by the way) and a special wave from Gary at the end - how touching.
When can we buy the dvd and is the song at the beginning the next uk number 1?
Anybody reading this and thinking “what the eck?” - click and watch now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jonathan (aka purple13 - the bond lotus one)
P.S Hey Elt’ if mike can do this in his shed, just think what you could do if you were still in the ‘closet’.
Gary was featured?! Gary was featured?!
Can’t believe I’ll be missing out that till I get to the office duh!
Hey Jim and Em’ - this should be embedded at the top of the blog.
DONE!
We wanted to check it worked around the world, which it does!
See upper right fold:
What’s it all about
Meet The Founders
Flower Smellers - we’ll be awarding the first 5 badges sooooon.
Coooeee, Jonathan, its me, Elton! I am out of the closet aren’t I.
An I can’t get in our shed at the moment cos David’s still buildin our new space shuttle in there he is. An now he’s avin to make it bigger n what we ad planned on account of the nipper like see.
So he’s on the lookout for another Yamaha FS1E 50cc engine cos we’ll need it for the extra rocket booster power now, for when we’re flyin round Uranus right.
Ere, if anyone knows where we can gets one, do lets us know.
See ya,
Elton
ooherr - you do travel to some eggotic places sir elton and how very responisble of you to take the young rascal along with you (i refer to david).
Unlike these new celebrity mums you read about leaving themselves home alone, not that you would ever lower yourself to stoop to such levels of shameless promotion for a new record.
You just watch out for those clingons! I hear re-entry’s a bummer!
Mike speeeeeeee-berg,
I watched 8 minutes of it and loved it.
Same as BJ this end as connection is slow in Doo-bye due to a ship’s anchor damaging an internet cable in Oman! Seriously - the UAE has a slow connection as this cable is repaired, mad eh.
This flower smeller thing sounds interesting, more levels of readers then
Spot on DD / BJ - The poor internet connection in Dubai in the local 7 days today, page 4….
‘Anchor blamed for internet cuts!’ Affecting business across the ME and SE Asia - maybe no Gareth in China for a while but we’ll email him!!
We’ve just upgraded our connection speed from 2MB to 4MB and have been promsied it’ll be fixed on Sunday.
D’dave - The flower smeller awards will be announced shortly!
I thought that was a news reader ‘anchorman’ run amok in a local data centre - haha.
Ahoy me hearties (oh no that was talk like a pirate day that digressed into Captain Pugwash double entendres….. happy days!!!!
LOL..
Any idea when they’ll be done fixing the cable??
There will be a diver around Tuesday, they couldn’t say AM or PM though.
LOL Mike!
Booooo.
There is no video there for me to view.
Hmmm,
We’ll email all the founders the link as well and we’ve posted it in the top right corner of the blog under ‘Meet the fuonders’.
Not sure why it won’t show up at your gaff, Lib
I haven’t got Adobe Shock Player in work apparently.
Amazing Mike - you really are a genius. It is great to get a ‘handle’ on the other ounders which you have done so well!
I know Jim and Em and love the fact I feel I know the rest of you too now.
Thank you so much.
Wow Mike!!!
You are truly a genius. The video has completely encapsulated all of us and the spirit of Flowers.
What a fabulous and fun start to the weekend!
The best bits for me out of many were Angry the Hulk and the wave from Gary at the end.
I guess this probably says a lot about me as I found the “violent” bits the funniest
More slapstick i thought Arvind.?
Excellent work - lots of it! LOL makes me wonder if, for once, I have made a good decision. Really pleased to be a member of this amazing group. Apologies for recent silence, but we’re stil here, just collapsing under a mountain of deadlines, of which more later.
Love the red shoes Em
I am not a flower smeller but my little babies LIB and BO are
I much prefer BeerSwilling
Heh heh, glad you like the film guys
I’M OUT OF MY SHED ! Arhh bright light, hurt eyes….
Even though I put it together, it still gives me a chill (in a good way!) watching it, we have a great thing here with Flowers. Go! is going to get a bit bigger soon me thinks.
Congratulations Mike!! Bravo!!! I LOVE IT!!! You do have a way with this movie making stuff. Kudos to you as I know what’s involved with editing footage and making it all come together like this… lots of hours would have gone behind that one my friend!!
So glad you are out of the shed… looks like you got a little older while you were in there… can you still run?
Can I still run!? Come on I’m bionic!
And yes 4 days of work went into that, but I loved ever minute!
Awesome Mike and its great watching you flowers GO! and grow
Thank you.
Excellent! What a great way to meet the ‘usual suspects’
Aww but I must rush off now…. after all someone has to go rescue Olga from that snowy tree top! She’s been such a support, now it’s my turn to GO! support her.
I got to the first one.
Once you showed Wonder Woman, I had to pause it.
I never got to the other 19.
Might want to remix this with a teaser for the end…
Ange is HOT. Love the lasso.

Hi Mike,
Very impressive and you must have one state of the art shed! But me aka the Soap Opera?
I don’t get it!
My spies tell me you love soap operas like Eastenders and Cornation Street. Is this not so Lib?
Tis not so Mike, sack the spies!
I haven’t watched a soap opera for about 2 mths!
I only watch serious dramas and documentaries like neighbours or Echo Beach.
LOL Lib
OMG! That’s so funky. I’ve noticed only a few of us get to be superheroes then. Ah well, I’ll always have Tom Selleck and Hawaii!
This top secret project of yours turned out really well, Congrats!
I can’t see the video???????? But I want to!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing job…i have only seen about 2 minutes of it so far…but I can’t wait to see the rest of it….
Hey good to see you back Tay!
Seconded - GO! Taylor Blue!
Hi Taylor, I’m really pleased you are back! I’ve been thinking. I don’t know whether you have noticed but there is none other than celebrity Elton John knocking round the blog at the moment.
Why don’t you put your journalistic skills to use and try and get an interview? Could be a good post….
I’ll 2nd 3rd & 4th that Lib! That would be one post I wouldn’t miss! GO! Taylor! (and EJ!!)
Too bad I can’t pin him down to get an interview!!
This is brilliant!! You guys are awesome. I had no idea it was such an eclectic collaboration of cartoon characters, super heroes, traveling bras and movie stars behind the flowers here!
(I especially love all the references to some of my personal favorite childhood shows and cartoons.
I shall blog roll you under “My Favorite Non-Offenders” immediately.
Hey thanks offended blogger & great to see you here,
Keep ‘em peeled for our up n coming ‘ Flower Smeller’ awards which we’re scouring the blogosphere for right now
Mike…What can I say you “RAWK”, That was very well put together and expresses all of our uniqueness so incredibly well! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together…….
Nice job. Of course I don’t understand the cartoon attached to my name…but that’s kinda par for the course around here.
