When you are looking to send flowers, you now have more choices than ever before. One of those choices is sending flowers direct from the grower. It's a quick, convenient, and economical way to send flowers, plants, gift or fruit baskets to family, friends, and business associates.

When sending flowers direct from the grower, there are some things you should be aware of:

• The flowers you send will arrive boxed, not arranged as is usually shown on the web site. This is the biggest misconception about buying flowers that are shipped direct from the grower. If you would prefer to have your flowers arrive arranged, you must have them delivered by a local florist.

• Same day delivery is not possible. That's because flowers shipped direct from the grower are delivered overnight by UPS or FedEx.

• Avoid sending grower-direct flowers to hospitals or funeral homes. Because they arrive boxed, they may not be willing or able to accept delivery of these items. Again, it would be best to use the services of a local florist when sending flowers for these occasions.

If they have a web site, many florists offer grower-direct options for their customers, giving them more choices for every occasion and budget. Talk with the florist to be sure your selection is the right choice.
