    Can you deliver today?

    Yes, Monday to Saturday, if you order by 1 p.m. The order page counts down to the cut-off and shows which days are already full.

    Can I choose the flowers?

    You choose the style, size and colours. The florist picks the stems from what is best in the buckets that day. If there is a flower they love, say so in the card note.

    How long will they last?

    Most bouquets look good for a week. Trim the stems, change the water every two days and keep them out of direct sun.

    Do you deliver to funeral homes?

    Yes. Put the funeral home and the service time in the delivery note, and the flowers arrive before the doors open.

    What if nobody is home?

    We leave the flowers in the shade with the card, or bring them back and call you to arrange another time.
