find a local florist in the area in which the flowers are to be delivered. That way you avoid all of the 'service' and 'relay' charges that are accrued when you go through two or three different florists.
What is the web site for ordering flowers on the internet?
www.flowers.com
I've used them several times, and it has always been so successful! They get the arrangement to where it needs to be exactly when you need it. I highly reccommend them. It actually is a company called 1-800-Flowers. They are great!

Are florist order gatherers like 1300 flowers .com.au better than dealing with a real florist?
I dont want to talk about 1300flowers specifically, but generally speaking ordering from your local florist or from an online florist each have their advantages and disadvantages. Whilst companies like 1300flowers aren't florists and take a commission for orders they gather, they provide a convenience factor that you pay for. They are easy to contact via the internet or phone. When you phone the florist directly, you dont really know what standard you are going to get. If they dont have a web site, you can be ordering sight unseen and a lot of small florists have trouble rotating stock therefore you may be sending flowers that dont last too long. On the plus side, the florist may not be charging you for the amount of the commission that would go to the order gatherer or the relay service fee they are probably paying also. In my opinion, you are best dealing with real florists that are part of a network like us at http://www.galleryflowers.com.au or rosetime.com.au .
Because we are florists you get to speak to a florist, not a telephone operator. You can select from our standard range or make up something to order. Florist to florist networks share their orders amongst themselves which translates into better value for the customer because third party relay fees are avoided. So, its up to you.

What kind of vegetables, fruits, and flowers are good to grow in Houston, TX?
I am planning my yard and would like to do my own landscaping. What kind of vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits are good for Houston climate hot, humid summer and mild winter. I want the fruit trees to serve both as fruit bearing as well as for shade to my house. The flowers should be a melangé of color. The vegetables should be able to supply seasonal veggies to my dining table. I know it is a tall order but any help would be appreciated. Thanks
What kind of vegetables, fruits, and flowers are good to grow in Houston, TX?
Tomatoes, strawberries, asparagus, squash, zuccini, watermelons (certain varieties will do much better than others), corn, okra (loves that climate), all types of peppers, carrots, onions, beats, radish, potatoes, pumpkins, cilantro, basil, canteloupe... hell, just about anything. Here's a link to our veg group... join it for better info....
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OkVegGarde...
Reply:You could grow orange, plum, fig, pear and certain types of apple trees in your area. (Fall is the best time to plant so get ready!)
Herbs: Basil, rosemary, all types of mint...wow, you can grow almost any type herb. (indoors or outdoors)
Flowers.... Geraniums grow well in TX...they come in a variety of colors. Mexican Heather has small purple flowers. Lantana and sage comes in different colors also...
Visit your local Home Depot or Lowes. They will have the trees at the best prices with a year warranty. They will also have the plants that are in season.
Vegetables...I am not sure about...I have only grown tomatos. (those can be planted twice/year in your area).

Why do my indoor potted flowers die? I water them 1-3 times a week.?
Its mostly my gerbria ( not sure I spelt It right ). What kind of care does this type of flower require In order for It to stay looking healthy and alive. Also how often do they require watering. Most my plants and flowers die or droop.
Thank you.
Why do my indoor potted flowers die? I water them 1-3 times a week.?
Make sure there is plenty of light but not heat. I even find that ventillation helps. Windows open from time to time.
Use a good indoor pot plant fertiliser. That's the key.
Don't over water- once a week is ok. But when you do, make it a good watering. Put them in the sink or whatever an really water. Then leave them alone to do their thing.
Also, go talk to a plant shop person. They're usually really helpful.
If they're drooping it's water....dying is worse...
Reply:Over watering, especially in the dormant winter cycle might be your culprit.
Reply:the flower wont last on a gerbera in or out doors once the season is over that's it for the flower!
but outside the plant will stay %26amp; flower next year,
not sure if you can keep inside once it's finished flowering, but don't water much for indoor plants check if the soil is dry first,
I just have real common junky type of plants for indoor %26amp; they get no attention or food %26amp; they all thrive, the only name i have for one is the umberella %26amp; oh yeah mother in-law tongue is another, %26amp; you know that one you see in all the TV shows,its green skinny leaves %26amp; it looks real posh they are so great for indoors, even if its a dark kind of room, i even just stick a cutting straight into a pot %26amp; bring it straight in the house %26amp; a few lower leaves will fall off %26amp; then its fine
but i never use potting mix, i just use dirt %26amp; i've heard dirt is a no no but its works great
Reply:Because you are over watering them and they suffer from root rot. Cut down to once a week and don't be afraid to re-pot them in fresh soil.
Reply:Hello try put some stones in the bottom of the pot this helps drain the water and grow strong roots!

I need help with Mothers day flowers?
I want to order my mum a really nice bouquet of flowers for mothers day. I've looked at a couple of well known flower delivery sevices but they all have really traditional pink flowers and my mum hates pink, and isn't keen on traditional.
Any advice on what flowers work well together and are modern in case i have to make my own bouquet?
If anyone knows where i can find some flowers that are a bit different from the norm online i would greatly appreciate it!
I need help with Mothers day flowers?
M%26amp;S (Marks and Spencer) have some lovely contemporary bouquets online for Mothers Day. :-)
Reply:Most high street florists do Interflora, or similar delivery service. Go into one, preferably your local one, and talk to them about it. They'll advise you on colour choice and what's available. This way, your mum gets what YOU want her to have, not what SOMEONE ELSE thinks she wants to have.
I know you want to do it online, but I think you'll be better off talking to somebody...that personal touch can make all the difference. Your mum is unique, her bouquet should be too
hope this helps xx
Reply:My mama used to love it when we picked her daffodils..
Reply:One year I got my mother a rose bush for Mother's Day- Blaze, which is a very vibrant red.
As for what flowers work well together- well, that depends on your tastes and what kind of look you're trying for. A few times I've made bouquets from wisteria and a few others that grew wild where I lived.
Good luck!

How many wedding flowers should I order? Are the flowers from Sam's Club any good?
i have to make my bridal bouquet, my bouquet for tossing, 7 bridesmaids bouquets, 12 boutineers, 5 pin on corsages,cake decorations, 20 larger centerpieces( large fish bowl jar), 40 smaller centerpieces(smaller fish bowl jar), and 2 large topiaries for outside of the tent. I do not want to use anything but pink roses for the wedding party but I plan on using pink roses and green hydrangea for my centerpieces. So tell me what you guys think.
How many wedding flowers should I order? Are the flowers from Sam's Club any good?
Sam's Club usually has nice flowers and affordable. The color combination sounds really nice.
2 dozen roses for your bouquets
4 dozen for bridesmaids
2 dozen for corsages/boutineers
10 dozen for large center pieces (for 6 roses)
4 dozen for small
4 dozen for topiaries
2 dozen for cake
So, get 30 dozen roses just to be safe.
I can't predict on the hydrangeas because I'm not certain of the size. Get more than you think you'll need, they're gorgeous filler.
I also made everything for my wedding...to save money. However, I was up until 3am the night before the wedding finishing. Be sure to get some help!
Congratulations and best wishes!
Reply:Yes. They are beautiful! I got them for my shower for centerpieces, and the planner at the place I had the wedding put them in bowls for me. I got married in Sept. and had fall flowers like sunflowers, mums and some roses. Good luck!!
Reply:Yes they are and also visit pro flowers.com.Their prices are really good.I really am not sure how many to tell you to buy. I think you may get your best deal with them on pink roses.Congratulations.

A good place to order a Bday cake to be sent to my parents?
My parents live in another state. I'd like to send them a Birthday cake. I see several places that ship cakes (the same places that ship flowers) Any suggestions of a place to order from?
A good place to order a Bday cake to be sent to my parents?
It's not cake but how about a Cookies by Design. (www.cookiesbydesign.com) or Cookie Bouquets.com or cookies in bloom.com.
Much easier to ship and still very festive.
Reply:Call their local supermarket.
Reply:Depends on where they live. In the Baltimore area definitely go for Charm City Cakes!
They have their own show on the Food Network- Ace of Cakes.
Their cakes are top notch but run about $500 per cake.
They will deliver but that is extra.
If your willing to spend that much, you will not regret it.
They have 40 flavors of cakes.

Hi. Yes, I ordered from http://www.rosesource.com/
for my son's wedding and they were fantastic. They arrived right on schedule and no problems. I would order again from them.
Two others that are popular are:
www.growersbox.com and www.bigrose.com
Both rosesource and growersbox sell LOTS of flowers, not strictly roses. Bigrose only sells roses.
Reply:im planning on using growersbox.com... its $320 for 120 stems: 60 orchid and 60 calla lillies... i haven't shopped around yet... this is the only place i've found those 2 flowers together ... I hope this is a reasonable price...

Reply:Silk flowers are tricky. If you get the wrong ones they can look extremely cheap and tacky. I recommend going to a local craft store like Michaels or Garden Ridge so you can see what you are purchasing and do not end up disappointed. If you live in a large city you may even have a discount place that is just a huge warehouse of silk flowers. We have one here in STL but I cannot think of the name of it.
Reply:YAY! i had silk cherry blossoms for my wedding!
mine were pink and i used them as centerpeices, drapped them over the wedding arch, and used them to decorate the cake and the registration table! and they were GORGEOUS!
my wedding was japanese themed, because my husband and i are moving to japan in a couple of months!
my parents actually went to the philippines and bought 6 dozen cherry blossoms for 10x cheaper than you can get it anywhere i looked! i would sell you what i have but all my guests took them home and i only have one vase full =( left for me to take.
michael's does have cherry blossoms. but you might want to check it out and maybe you can order different colors. because i only saw white ones available there.
ebay has some in a variety of colors, but the batches are small.
not sure how many your looking for. but if its bulk, i suggest going to your local asian crafts store. if they don't have any, ASK THEM because they are the best people to ask and they'd most likely know where to get it cheap!
good luck and congrats!
Reply:Hi
I have spent ages looking online for silk peonies because I was also dissapointed with the craft stores - I was dissapointed with most Aust online stores too.
I found the best site was www.fioribelli.com The guy has won heaps of awards and because it's a US site we don't have to pay exhorbadant prices for quality silk flowers. Anyway check it out and see what you think. They have cherry blossoms 6 stems for $49.95 (approx $55 au). They have white but sold out of pink - if you want pink they should be able to get them in quickly for you!
I contacted then last week to see if they would ship to Australia and they said they would but to be wary of customs tax. I checked with customs and there is no tax if spending less than the equivalent of $1000 au.

I personally think 1800flowers.com has a better selection than the other main floral site, ftd.com. (Both have good track records, but service depends on the local florist they contract with.)
1800flowers.com has some really cute arrangements, like the cocktail bouquets--not your typical "get well soon," but really fun: http://ww12.1800flowers.com/dataset.do?d...
They also have a lot of really nice Get Well bouquets.

Reply:Check out proflowers.com. I have received flowers from them in the past and they have lasted much longer than those ordered from ftd or 800flowers. When you order from proflowers they are shipped directly from the grower and not a third party.

When is the best time to plant flowering bulbs in order to bloom in spring?
Your answer is in this wonderful old movie called "Being There" with Peter Sellers (his last and playing the character called "Chancy Gardener"), which I am sure you must have seen at some point. But, it is worth going back and watching it again - the very last scene, in particular, is truly and anomalously precious (I am not gonna ruin it for you in case you haven't seen it or don't remember it), especially for an avid gardener like you. So again, I'll let "Chancy" tell you when to plant those flowering bulbs!
When is the best time to plant flowering bulbs in order to bloom in spring?
Before the first frost I think.
Reply:Before the first hard frost and most definitely before the first freeze. Bulbs like cold ground to grow in or become establlished, but if it's frozen, the establishing time is drastically reduced. They need to be introduced to the cold slowly. Just make sure the bulbs you select are proven to grow in your area.

HELP. I want to send flowers to my man in south Korea?
My boyfriend is in the air force. I would like to send flowers to him from Texas. He mailing address is a mail box. Does any one know where I can get online to order flowers?
HELP. I want to send flowers to my man in south Korea?
try interflora
look at this link
http://www.interflora.co.uk/
Reply:Since he's in the air force, you can send flowers to him from AAFES (Army and Airforce Exchange Service aka "the BX"). If you are allowed to shop there (a military member or eligible dependent), you can send him flowers online from AAFES.com.
If you are not too committed to flowers, also try sending him something that will remind him of home. Most military members (myself included) want things from the states that aren't readily available overseas. Ask him what he what he misses the most (besides you) and send him that in a care package with pictures, etc. It'll be much more appreciated!
Reply:his 'juicy' already sent him flowers....lol, joking...

Ordering Mother's Day flowers online?
Does anyone know any good websites to order inexpensive flowers from? I'm leaning towards ProFlowers right now but I'm up for suggestions! Anything with free shipping would be great.
I need them to be fairly inexpesnive because I want to order two bouquets (for my mom and my stepmom). Thanks!
Ordering Mother's Day flowers online?
I've tried the Proflowers, 1800flowers and teleflora but I was never really satisfied with what they sent. The best bet is call a local flower shop in the area they live in and order the flowers. This way first of all they are more likely to get delivered on time (mothers day really busy time) because you went directly to the shop and the flowers will be nicer because they are looking for on going business in their local area.

They have a large selection of cut or live flowers and arrangements.
Reply:try to get the mini carnations instead of the roses since the roses do not last as long.

Have you had a good experience with ordering flowers from Sam's Club?
The majority of things that I have hear have been positive, and I have been considering ordering their bulk roses for my wedding. Has anyone ordered their roses? I am a little concerned about the delivery being late. If you have ordered before, would you suggest having them arrive a couple days ahead of the date? Thanks :)

i've never ordered from them before. i have used shop rite for flowers before and been satisfied.
i would have them arrive a day or two prior to. roses will keep well if you refridgerate them
i think you will be okay
best of luck
Reply:I ordered mine from Sam's. I was very pleased with the flowers. I was concerned just as you are about the deliver. Just make sure you order them on the right day! The day they are ordered is directly correlated with the day they are delivered. I didn't realize that until a day late! I ordered mine the day after I was supposed to, therefore they arrived a day later than I wanted. My wedding was on Saturday and they arrived on Friday. Everything worked out, but I was nervous. It was my own fault for not following the directions to a tee! I ordered many different kinds of flowers. I was pleased with all of them, but some of them never opened up before the wedding. We had the buds in the bouquets and flower arrangements, but it was still pretty. It actually gave my flowers a unique look, which I loved. Just make sure you have someone that knows what they're doing to help with the flowers. We had to cut the ends and put them in water as soon as they arrived. We also had a big cooler to keep them in overnight in a cafeteria. If it weren't for all the help from other people, it would never have worked. But the quality of the flowers was exceptional and I would do it again. Good luck!
Reply:I ordered mine from RoseSource.com and was quite pleased. I was so nervous about it -- you take a risk ordering your wedding flowers online. They came in on Thursday morning for my Saturday night wedding. We kept them in water and in the fridge for as long as possible. Most of the flowers looked perfect -- some were beginning to wilt a little, but we had enough that we could just toss those.
My mom and I arranged the bouquets on Friday night and wrapped the stems about 2-3 hours before leaving on Saturday. We did the corsages and boutonnieres on Saturday morning. The roses we got were a little too big for the corsages, so we made a quick emergency run to the grocery and got some small spray roses and baby's breath which were perfect.
We spent $200 on all of our flowers. We used 200 roses and had plenty for everything. (4 bouquets which were about 14-16 roses each and my gigantic bouquet which was about 32 roses. Also had about 12 boutonniers and 8 or so corsages.) We got married just after Christmas, so everything was still decorated! Great way to save money on decorations.
Good luck! (And I've heard positive things about flowers from Sam's, as well)
Reply:Arriving a couple of day prior will cause the flowers to open and die.
Reply:I ordered from Costco...and they were great...I ordered 30 dozen to be picked up the day before the wedding...when I got there...she said "take your pick" they were bundled in bunches of 2 dozen so she let me pick out the 15 bunches I wanted....and I made sure to pick the ones without the dying edges...or the ones without broken stems...They were gorgeous...

How do I go about sending flowers to someone in the hospital?
I have a friend in the hospital who just had surgery and I wanted to send some flowers (he's a guy, but I don't know what else to send). I thought I'd order from the 1-800-flowers or somewhere like that online....what instructions do I give in order for them to be delivered to the hospital?? I've never done it before. Thanks!
How do I go about sending flowers to someone in the hospital?
The flower place will know what to do. I'm sure they've delivered there before. Just make sure you get his room number to give them. You can get that information by calling the front desk at the hospital.
You should take them in person, I'm sure he'll appreciate it even more.
You could also send one of those cookie arrangements from www.cookiesbydesign.com or some other food gift basket. Guys love food lol.
Reply:hospital name, address, room number, name of recipient.
Reply:I have worked 4 years as a florist so I will be happy to answer your question. First of all is your friend in a hospital locally? If so go to your nearest florist and pick out what you would like and have them deliver it. If it isn't local, you can still go to the local florist and they will call the florist closest to his hospital and have them sent. You can also see some arrangements such as an FTD bouquet or something that they have done and tell them you want something like that. They can tell the other florist what you want as florist try to keep a variety on hand to duplicate arrangements shown in books. Of course some flowers may not be available due to seasons like tulips. They will often do it on the spot , but sometimes not, but you will know exactly what it is going to cost for the arrangement, the delivery fee and the wire fee. You just pay the local florist and the florists work out payment amongst the two of them. They are the go between and want to make you happy too. You can order from 1-800 flowers if you wish. They will have photos of arrangements on line. You would give them info on where to deliver and pay by credit card.

Orchids, what do i do now the flowers are dropping off?
hi to all,
does anyone know what i'm meant to do with the plant in order for it to flower againg, does it need pruning or do i just leave it as it is.
Orchids, what do i do now the flowers are dropping off?
It's supposedly summer time ! Put your orchid out side into a border (remove the cotton wool type fibre around the roots first) water in and leave until before a frost is due. Dig it up and wash the roots to remove any old soil and INSECTS. Pot it up in a slightly larger pot than the root base into some orchid compost. They need to feel tight and secure in a pot or they will not flower the following year. Bring indoors and try to keep it fed, watered and living in a south/south west facing environment without draughts.
Reply:Thanks for your vote and enjoy your orchids . Report It
Reply:let nature take its course
Reply:Just leave it.
Reply:My cheap Asda orchid is 2 years old now and my current flowers are dropping but I can clearly see the new bud that will grow to form a new set of flowers. They seem to open all but one of the flower buds leaving that one to grow on as the new set and so on.
When it finally stopped flowering I cut back the stalk and just waited. Watered as I used to when the leaves didn't look so glossy and firm. It grew a new leaf and then the flower stalk grew again..
Reply:Cut the flowered stem back to a joint in the stem, it should spring another flower stem from there. Feed it weekly with a VERY weak plant food, or get a proper orchid food, and spray it every day or as often as you can with plain water. Never let the compost get wet, in the wild they live attached to the side of trees and live on drips so the roots rot really easily. It probably won't flower again until next year, but you might be lucky if it likes you. Good luck with it.
Reply:Cut the flower stalk down to about 5 cm long, keep feeding it.
When it starts to put on new central leaves, repot, into a pot only slightly bigger, with fresh compost. Keep feeding through summer.

Has anyone ordered flowers from 1-800-FLOWERS.com before??
I've never used them before and I REALLY WANT good flowers sent to someone special and will appreciate any comments if you've used them before.
Has anyone ordered flowers from 1-800-FLOWERS.com before??
I have recieved many bouquets from 1-800-Flowers.com. I feel that first and foremost, they are incredibly over priced. Second, they aren't always the best quality, when I had them show up at my house, it wasn't a 1-800-Flowers truck, it was just some local flower shop. You would be much better off giving the flowers to the person yourself, if that's not a possibility because you can't get to the area, etc. I suggest you see what other flower shops in the person's area can offer.

Hi, I know what you mean, we all want the best we can get! Well, Jimmy, not to worry, let me tell how these guys work. They just have a catchy number is all! And some pretty pictures! You call them, same as I did, or do, and they call where ever it is you need the flowers sent! They take a cut of the cost and everyone is happy! Thats IT. They just call the local florist in whatever town or city that the flowers are needed. Because they are who they are, they have "connections" and get special rates. It is cheaper than picking up the phone and calling the local florist because it's a 1-800 number.
Hope this helps. Don't worry, your special sweetie will get exactly what you tell them to give her/him. Just don't bother with the tip, the florist won't get it.. Well, that is unless you speciffically tell them to tip the florist of course.
Reply:I haven't ordered from 1-800-flowers because they are overpriced, but I have received roses sent through them. The roses were beautiful and they did last a long time. They were very well packaged, so much so that it was a bit of a pain to unpack them.
When I was looking for wedding flowers I checked out their website because my mom could get a discount. Even with the discount the flowers were terribly expensive, and the choices were very limited.
Reply:I have received flowers from them and they're OK but I really have been happy with the flowers that I've received from hallmark.com

Why is costco, trader joe's,1-800 flowers, and large corporations trying to overshadow flower shops?
I don't understand why large corporations take advantage of small businesses, all those online "florists" like pro-flowers, blooms.net and 1-800 flowers, rip people off.
I ordered a large arrangement from 1-800 flowers and I didn't get the best quality in flowers, I would rather order from a local flower shop now, especiall y those that are family owned.
they give you the best service and products it was worthe the money, pricey, but worth every penny. I still don't understand why some people are still dumb enough to support those large corporations that have no knowledge or passion like a REAL flower shop does. Is it because small flower shops don't have enough money to advertise like large corporations do?
