I've used fineflora.com for years. I think they're good value, very reliable and my mother always says they're lovely! The freesia stems are particularly good...

Hi

I always use interflora as there is an interflora at the bottom of my parents street so I can order on the day and they get delivered the same day makes things so much easier for me. You can even use paypal to pay or a crdit card. You choose the flowers on the australian site and they send it to the nearest interflora to the international address you provide.

Tex

I have used interflora and they were fantastic (although not hte cheapest) - I ahve also contacted small florists directly view their websites.

I used these a few weeks ago for my FIL's funeral and they were brilliant. Delivered on time and really beautiful.

They also do chocolates, wine, bears and a few other stuff as well.

Flowers from Tesco or M&S.

Just ordered Xmas hampers & planters for family from M&S and cases of wine for FIL from Tesco.

Seconded. If you send flowers regularly to the same area [mother etc] find a local florist via UK yellow pages and do it over the phone. I used to do this all the time when my mum lived in Glasgow and it was much cheaper compared to going via interflora etc.
