Online Florists
Online Flower Shops
Florists generally sell fresh flowers, flower arrangements, and ornamental
plants. Many years ago, florists grew their own flowers for market,
often in gardens and greenhouses near their flower shops. During the
twentieth century, modern communication and transportation systems enabled
the development of flower delivery networks. These florist networks
facilitated the delivery of beautiful fresh flowers and perishable gifts
to recipients anywhere, at any time of the year.
More recently, with the development of the Internet and next-day air delivery services, online florists have become a convenient way to send flowers anywhere in the world from flower growers located in warm and sunny climates. Flower delivery networks and independent florists have created stores on the World Wide Web where visitors can view online pictures of flower bouquets and floral arrangements. Customers can order flowers online quickly and conveniently instead of ordering flowers by phone or buying them at a traditional, local flower shop.
ProFlowers.com,
and similar online flower delivery companies, deliver flowers nationwide
direct from the grower. Flowers shipped in this manner can arrive
fresher because they bypass warehouses and florist coolers. Imported
cut flowers are also inspected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection
agriculture specialists to ensure that they are free from various insects,
pests, and diseases. However, flowers shipped from flower growers
must be arranged and placed in vases by their recipients, services which
local florists normally provide. Wedding planners can also order
wedding flowers and bouquets online, direct from the grower-florists.
