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.

Has anyone ever ordered their wedding flowers from an on-line vendor?
I have ordered flowers on-line from http://www.mr-roses.com/ and am just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. How did it work out?
Wedding is in 2 weeks!
Has anyone ever ordered their wedding flowers from an on-line vendor?
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:I'm thinking about doing this, www.proflowers.com send them to you already arranged.

Has anyone ordered silk flowers online? I am specifically looking for cherry blossoms?
I have checked the local craft stores but they just weren't doing it for me....

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.
Reply:it depends on wher u live. if ur in los angeles u can go downtown to the flower mart...im sure almost every city has a downtown. try lookingt there

Best site to order get well flowers on line ??
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.

www.1800flowers.com
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.
Reply:end of summer, especially mums-
Reply:In the fall!
Reply:Plant before the first frost
Reply:It depends in what zone you live in....
Here in the NW we plant them in October or November.

Reply:Plant them in the fall.
Reply:Plant now, while the ground is still warm enough to work.

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.
Reply:Try http://www.flowersareus.com
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.
