It's easy to send flowers to a loved one, either across the street or across the country.  Our national flower shop directory gives you all the information you need to contact local flower shops and florists that are near and close by to where you want the flowers sent.  When you buy direct from the local florists that will deliver your flowers, you eliminate the middlemen charges, thus saving you money.  In addition, you can speak directly to the delivering florist who can tell you exactly what they have available during the current time and season.

Locate-A-Flower-Shop.com® lists all of the nation's FTD and Teleflora flower shops and retail stores for you.  We can help you choose just the right florist shop for you.  It doesn't matter if you want to send flowers, roses, plants, orchids, fruit baskets, gifts, candy, balloons or silk arrangements, local flower shops will be there to guide you in making the best flower selection.

Flowers convey the most inner thoughts and feelings words cannot.  From a birthday, anniversary or wedding gift to a loved one's memorial or funeral, local floral shops can help you say it with flowers.

Placing your order as early as possible from the florist helps assure same day delivery.  You can place your order either online through the flower shop's Internet web site or for more personal ordering, use the toll free telephone number of the floral shop.  For those florist shops in Springfield, IL not having toll free telephone numbers, a local telephone number with area code is provided.

Ordering Advice:
While some florists will take an order to be delivered in the A.M. or P.M., it is usually impossible to have it delivered at a particular time of the day (i.e., 2:00 P.M.).  Because of traffic, pending funerals, weather and many other things, it very difficult to predict where the delivery van will be from one minute to the next.  If the delivery is for someone at a place of employment, give the florist the time the person will be there at work.
Make sure you have the complete street address of the recipient.  The florist's delivery person cannot make a delivery to "the big white house next to the park" easily.  If the address is for a large office building, specify the building name since these types of buildings often do not have easily seen street numbers.
