Order before 14:00 and the flowers can be at the door the same day, arranged by a florist in the city where they live. We deliver Monday to Saturday, with the date set by you at checkout. You are in another country and they are in China, which is the whole reason the flowers count for something: they arrive where you cannot. Checkout is in your own currency, paid securely online, and every order includes a free card message, printed exactly as you write it.
Choose the arrangement, name the delivery date, and add the recipient's phone number so the florist handling it locally can confirm the address before setting out.

If a particular flower isn't in that morning, the florist swaps it for one of equal or greater value that keeps the same look, so the arrangement stays the one you picked. Local work tends to be structured and symmetrical with bold colour blocking, wrapped in decorative cellophane or kraft paper, often in a cone shape finished with a ribbon. If nobody answers when the flowers arrive, the florist will typically call the recipient or arrange a redelivery, which is the advantage of the flowers being made a short distance from the address.
Addresses in China run to a six-digit postcode — for example, 100000 for central Beijing. Give it with the street and building, and include the recipient's local phone number, which florists use to confirm availability and the exact address before setting out. Apartment deliveries often need a door code — add it in the checkout field, and it costs you nothing. One address to rule out is a person mid-journey: someone at an airport or a railway station is close to unreachable, so send to their hotel, office or home instead, timed for after they arrive.
There are over 300 gifts to choose from, more than 200 of them flower arrangements, and the rest can travel with them: gift baskets, potted plants and chocolates. An anniversary you want to mark properly from the other side of the world is one of the moments where a second item earns its place, giving the delivery something to be opened as well as looked at.
Much of what the country sells it also grows: roses, carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums, gerberas and gladioli come largely out of Yunnan, along with Guangdong, Liaoning around Dalian, and Sichuan. Yunnan's high-altitude climate appears to support near year-round field and greenhouse cultivation, with volume and price peaking around Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) and Qixi. Trade concentrates at the Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center and the Dounan Flower Market. Two customs are worth respecting as you choose: white chrysanthemums are strongly tied to mourning and avoided for celebrations, and the number four is kept out of flower counts for its closeness to the word for death. Red flowers, roses above all, are the festive and romantic choice.
Chinese New Year falls on the first day of the lunar calendar, late January to mid-February, when kumquat trees, peach blossoms and peonies go into homes for prosperity. The Qixi Festival, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, is the night couples exchange roses. International Women's Day on March 8 brings flowers into workplaces, and Teacher's Day on September 10 puts them on desks. Chrysanthemums are displayed and appreciated at the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and placed at ancestral graves at Qingming, around April 4-5, the fifteenth day after the spring equinox. Around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, order at least 48 hours ahead.
You order online from wherever you are; the arrangement is made and delivered locally, by a florist working in the same city as the person receiving it. Nothing is posted and nothing waits at a border: the roses, lilies, peonies or lisianthus are chosen at the other end, by someone who can see them. It is the shortest possible journey for the flowers and the longest for the thought behind them.
Yes — order before 14:00 local time and your flowers can be delivered the same day. Orders placed after the cutoff are delivered on the next available day you choose at checkout.
You can request a preferred time slot, but exact times cannot be guaranteed — deliveries follow the local florist's routes and workload for the day. The delivery date you select at checkout is honoured.
Acceptance depends on the hospital and ward, so check before ordering; otherwise delivery goes to reception. Use the hospital's own city and full address, with the patient's full name and, where possible, the ward or room.
