Illinois (IL) Florists, Flower Shops & Florist Directory
When you want to send flowers across the street or across the country, our national directory of flower shops and florists will make the process easy. We provide all the information necessary to find a local flower shop and florist that will deliver your floral gift. If no flower shop or florist is available in the city or town you want the delivery made to, we also list florists that are located near and close by. Ordering and buying from the flower shop and florist who will make and deliver your order saves you from having to pay middlemen and all of the charges and fees they access. Plus, you will know what flowers and products are in season and available so you can be fully informed as to what you are purchasing.
Locate-A-Flower-Shop.com® has the perfect FTD and Teleflora flower shops and retail stores for you. We are here to help you choose just the right florist shop. Regardless of what you wish to send, either flowers, roses, plants, orchids, fruit baskets, gifts, candy, balloons or silk arrangements, local flower shops will guide you to make the appropriate flower selection.
Flowers convey the most sincere thoughts and feelings words cannot. From a birthday, anniversary or wedding gift to a loved one's funeral or memorial, local floral shops can help you say it with flowers.
Please place your order as early as possible from the florist to be sure of same day delivery. If you so choose, you can enter your order online through the flower shop's Internet web site or if you want help, use the toll free telephone number of the floral shop. For those florist shops in Springfield, IL not having a toll free telephone number, a local telephone number along with area code is listed.

Statice:
Common Names: Statice, Limonium, English Statice, German Statice, Seafoam Statice, Latifolia
Description: These cut flowers are available in several varieties. English statice carries 1- to 2-inch clusters of calyxes, each about 1/2 inch across. Stems are 1 to 1 1/2 feet long. Seafoam statices have smaller calyxes, arched clusters, smooth stems and no foliage. German statices have small gray bracts that arch backward. English statice calyxes are yellow, white, purple, lavender or pink with tiny white or yellow flowers inside. Latifolia calyxes are white with blue-violet flowers.
Lily:
Common Names: Lily, Asiatic Lily, Oriental Lily
Description: Trumpet-shaped flowers grow to a 6-inch diameter. Stems grow to 3 feet long, carrying four to eight blossoms. Sparse foliage is dark green. Because blooms open at various times, most lilies live one to two weeks. Colors include white, yellow, pink, red and orange; many have a deeper color (freckles) on the inner petal.
Ordering Advice:
If possible, have the telephone number of the recipient. In a worst case scenario, it might be necessary to contact the recipient to get further directions. While it may "spoil" the surprise of getting the flowers, it is usually better than not getting the order delivered at all.
The best advice to remember is to keep the order as general and open as possible. Because flowers are usually better in some seasons and not others, it is wise to allow the florist to pick the types of flowers used so they can give you the best quality. Some flowers, such as roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, are available all year.
