Sheryl Lee Ralph has been getting her flowers (metaphorically and literally) since her triumphant win at this year’s Emmys. The latest celebrity to celebrate the deserving actor is Oprah, who sent Ralph a massive flower arrangement, which was delivered to her on the Abbott Elementary set. The moment she received the bouquet was filmed, and the video is blowing up on Twitter.
The clip begins with the camera panning around the arrangement, catching white, lilac and purple flowers that made up the bouquet. It then shows an Abbott Elementary crew member wheel the gift to Ralph, who looks stunned as the arrangement gets closer to her.
“OK, this is crazy,” she said. “But this is crazy good.”
Before reading the card, Ralph tells the cast and crew that she’s never “had anything like this.”
“I wonder who loves me like that?” she questioned with a chuckle while directing her arms toward the arrangement.
She then read the note accompanying the bouquet aloud.
“It says, ‘Dear Sheryl, congratulations on the best acceptance speech of all time. I’m still celebrating you. Blessings, Oprah.”
The cast and crew cheered and applauded as she marveled at the gesture. Ralph then joked that she was going to have to hire a truck to take the arrangement home because of its massive size.
“Thank you, Oprah,” she says to the camera. “Thank you very, very much. I appreciate it.”
Oprah’s gift had Ralph thinking her acceptance speech at the Emmys was really something special.
“It was a good speech, huh?” she asked.
The video ends with castmate Lisa Ann Walter wheeling Ralph and the flowers away, as the newly-minted Emmy winner waved goodbye and professed her love to the cast and crew.
Fans on Twitter are loving the heartwarming video.

The arrangement comes after Ralph shared Beyoncé also sent her flowers and a thoughtful note. The Abbott Elementary star posted a video — which features her gasping as she reads the note, revealing who the arrangement is from — on Instagram.
Ralph captioned the video, “Every one has their own special dream and all your dreams can come true. Just look in the mirror and love what’s in front of you. Thank you @beyonce don’t forget to dream girls!”
