I need to know a site that I can go to and order flowers online. The only stipulation I have is that I need to pay by check. I am in the Army and would like to send my girlfriend and our son a bouqout of flowers. I need real answers to this question. Any stupid answers will get deleted.
Where can I order flowers online and Pay by check?
I'm not sure of any specific ones but i'm sure if you called them up you would be able to give them the account and routing number and they would be able to do it for you. I've used www.proflowers.com and they've been pretty good with reasonable prices. There are a ton on the web though. Best of luck.
Ohh and by the way...Thank you for your service, you're all the heart and soul of this country.

If you are anywhere near Sonoma County, you are in a nursery hotbed! I would scour around locally before buying via mail (unless you wants seeds....).
At this time of year, there are a lot of plant sales coming. There will be the Occidental Art and Ecology plant sale (in Occidental and all organic-tons of unusual veggies), the Harvest for the Hungry plant sale (in Santa Rosa-lots of veggies and perennials), Willowside School (in Santa Rosa) has plants sales... this is just to name a few. If you check in "The Press Democrat" in the gardening section they list all the upcoming events.
Now for nurseries, there are sooooo many!!! We have a great range from the specialty to the full service. Grab your phone book and let your fingers do the walking - you may be surprised at what you see. There is a book dedicated just to Sonoma County nurseries, it's titled "The Guide to Sonoma County Nurseries" by SpringHill Press (their site is under construction).
If you edit your question and give your location, I may be able to help further with specific nurseries.
Happy Gardening! :)
EDIT: Here are some seed catalogues to try...
I got a ton of heirloom tomatoes here: http://www.heirloomtomatoes.bizland.com/
Burpee has a little of everything: http://www.burpee.com/
Renee's Garden has a wonderful selection of neat things: http://www.reneesgarden.com/
I love this catalogue based out of the UK, I drool over it: http://www.thompson-morgan.com/
Reply:Try the burpee website. They have seeds and plants to order on line. I'd try burpee.com or goolgle "Burpee" seeds.
Reply:I get seeds from several companies but mostly from "Thompson and Morgan" or from "park Seeds", for perennial plants the best place Ive found is "bluestone Perennials" mine come by second day air and in 20 years Ive only had one batch of 3 plants that were not good and they replaced them for me.
Reply:Hi, I have had really good luck with ebay actually. But if you want a nursery Spring Hill is a good site. I had good luck with orders from them.

Wayside Gardens is nice but pricey
http://www.waysidegardens.com/webapp/wcs...
But my new favorite is Holly Hill Nurseries - They have wholesale lots and as I have 1 acre to landscape you can't beat their prices. I am getting an order soon so I will know better then how good the plants are.

Check with your local nursery. If they don't have it, ask if you can special order it.

What is the best way to do my own bouquets and also to ensure I have the flowers I need for my wedding?
I am doing my own bouquets and centerpieces for the wedding. I did some trial the other night using flowers bought from the grocery store, and they turned out great; however, my wedding is not until July 4th, and I would like to ensure I can get the inexpensive flowers I need ON THE DATE I need them. I would prefer not to buy from a professional florist when I can spend half the money buying them at the grocery store! Does anybody know any good online retailers that will send undecorated flowers to your home? Or does anybody have any OTHER tips that could be useful? Thank you.
What is the best way to do my own bouquets and also to ensure I have the flowers I need for my wedding?
We went the bulk flower route. It went GREAT!
I'm in Michigan and went through a company called Horrocks. They are a produce store. They even made it so the roses were "left out" and in full bloom. Your grocery store could probably work with a wholesaler and get them delivered. They did make the bouquets. On site delivery was $12 and we spent $700 out the door, this included everything......centerpieces, bouquets, coursages etc. You can email me privately for pix.
I would go locally rather than online. I've had some really bad experiences with some online retailers.
Reply:Why not go to Michael's and get silk flowers for everything you need. You can even do yours in silk and they are georgous. But, if you want, do yours in real. A florist can do a bridal boquet very resonable. Depending on the grocery store is not a good idea as you don't know what they will have in stock or their delivery status to depend on.
Reply:I am also getting married in July (28) and my flowers, center pieces and head table flowers are all completely done. We were trying to think of ways to save money and we deceided to go with silk flowers. We bought them at places like AC Moore %26amp; Walmart. And the best thing about it all is I get to keep them forever. If you choose your flowers wisely you'll never know they are fake. And you can do them now and put them away until the wedding. This worked for me because I have one less thing I needed to worry about. The only flowers I need now are for the gentleman, my mother grandmothers etc. . and I'm getting them for an awesome price at Price Chopper. Good Luck and CONGRADULATIONS on the wedding
Reply:There are wholesalers online who will sell you flowers at a bulk rate, you have to do the arranging yourself though. It is a fraction of the cost. Check out freshroses.com or growersbox.com. Good luck!!
Reply:any craft store like michaels usually has a pretty good selection. they also have books there that you can buy to get other ideas. way to go on making them yourself!
Reply:I just got married in April. I bought all of my flowers from a wholesale florist, and I did all the flowers myself too! I got a great deal for everything. If you have a membership to Costco they do flowers in bulk. You can also google "flowers in bulk" and you can order everything online and they can send it to you the day before the wedding and then you can put it all together yourself. You just need to make sure you have a refrigerator to put all of the flowers in because they can wilt and die if they are too hot... I am sure it will be hot July 4th! :o) Good luck with everything! It is extremely stressful and make sure you have LOTS AND LOTS of help to put all the stuff together... I was doing my girls bouquets at midnight the night before my wedding! Feel free to ask for more helpful tips! I have done every cost saving tip alive! ;o)
Reply:The obvious solution would be fake flowers. You'll save money...And time stressing about getting all those arrangements together by the wedding date.
Reply:I've seen freshroses.com get rave reviews.
I would always check with Better bussines bureau to make sure they don't have complaints against them and then check site like theknot.com where people rate their vendors and can tell your what the experience was like.

there are hundreds of places that will deliver you flowers.
You dont want to be doing this the morning of your wedding though. I would suggest ordering about 3 days ahead of time since most of the flowers need time to open a bit. Keep them in a cool dark place with lots of water and arrange them the day before your wedding. They will stay fresh.
Reply:some times silks look as nice as the real ones and you don't have to worry about then being over watered or not watered enough plus once the wedding is over you can keep your bouquet looking as beautiful as the wedding day and silks are tons cheaper.

What are the best websites for ordering plants and flowers?
I have searched for and found several online nursery websites that sell bulbs and perennials but I want to be sure my plants and flowers are healthy when they arrive at my home. Any recommendations or experiences (good or bad) would help me find a nursery that I can trust to deliver the best so I can plant them with confidence in my own garden! - - Anyone??? - -

This is the place I like.
They have a lot of variations that I have not found anywhere else.
They guarantee their products for life (the plants) and always run specials so can getsome excellent flowers (bulbs or growing) for pretty cheap.
good Luck!
Reply:I'm a big fan of the Burpee Seed Company - www. burpee.com.
Reply:It is best to use a nursery that is in your own Gardening Zone, that way you know the plants have adapted to your area, or a zone north of you, making the plants even hardier.
It also makes a difference if your looking for seeds, perrenials, trees etc. most nurseries specialize, ask your local gardening friends who they prefer, also visit your local farmers market or some of the plant exchanges in your area.

I have never found anyone I trust with bulbs...I do better at a local big nursery. (If I am looking to use big volumes for naturalizing and not using hybrids, try Michigan Bulb Co.) Good luck
