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.
