[lace-chat] Buying flowers
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Brenda Paternoster [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Liz In July/August it was pinks but in the winter it's narcissus. Just a thought on this - with Mother in Law being asthmatic (not so bad now as when she was younger), I have to be careful about the flowers sent. I know from personal experience that narcissi and daffodils will give me a very bad headache (Mothers' Day at church used to be a nightmare, with proudly presented posies from two daughters!) - hence the only daffs allowed in the house now are lace ones. Hyacinths have the same effect (absolute horror when I accompanied my eldest daughter to the doctors on Wednesday, and there was a bowl of those on the reception desk!). Do think about whether the recipient can live with the type of flowers you send! -- Jane Partridge To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] Buying flowers
Liz I haven't used 'Bunches' but a few months ago whilst on holiday on the Isles of Scilly I sent birthday bouquets to two different people from Scent from the Islands at Churchtown Farm, St Martins. I believe both were pleased with the flowers, and the journey from Scilly to Devon would be quite a lot shorter than Scilly to Kent which I sent. In July/August it was pinks but in the winter it's narcissus.

Many thanks to you all for your replies. I will answer them all personally, off-list this evening, when I get home from a Lace Day - Xmas party Lace Day! I appreciate you taking the time to advise me. Gratefully, from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, - where it is another hot day - 35 Celcius today.

I have not heard of Bunches but have used http://www.sovereignflyingflorist.com/ in Guernsey for many years to send flowers to my relatives in Britain. I have always had good reports back from the recipients. Although one time my MIL sent the card enclosed with the flowers back to them to complain. She said they were not usually what she received. I usually sent her freesias but for some reason I sent her carnations or a mixed bunch that year. She received another bunch of flowers with an apology!! Another year she had the Post office in Manchester doing a search for them but I had forgotten the date for Mothers day in England and had not ordered any. My last order sent earlier this year to my Aunt for her 80th birthday received a complaint that she had to use too many vases for them! Good luck with your flower purchase.

When someone who lived in Australia wanted to send me flowers, they sent orchids from a supplier who could post internationally from Darwin. Absolutely wonderful, and they seemed to last forever. Each stem had a glass vial of water sealed around it, and they only took a couple of days to get from Darwin to Dorset. I've since bought a potted orchid here, and that's been flowering for four months so far and new buds are still forming.
