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.
