Throughout history, flowers have been associated with two things: love and secrecy. The ancient Romans painted roses on the ceilings of their banquet halls to remind guests that whatever secrets were shared sub rosa or “under the rose” were meant to be kept confidential. The association between flowers and secrecy was continued in the Middle Ages when a rose would be hung above a meeting table where private matters were discussed.
Today, an anonymous gift of flowers combines love and secrecy in a way that’s guaranteed to delight your recipient. The mystery of receiving a dozen red roses from an anonymous admirer will surely set your gift apart from the rest if it’s your loved ones’ birthday or a holiday where she’ll be receiving many gifts.

Even if you aren't including your name on the gift card that comes with your flowers, you should include a heartfelt message explaining why you sent the bouquet. Consider sending a message with a tantalizing hint of your identity, but not enough to reveal who you are. If you want, choose a romantic moment later in the day to tell your loved one that you're their secret admirer.
Anonymous flower gifts are also lovely for someone in your life who deserves an extra treat. If someone's been working hard, seemingly without much notice, an anonymous Thank You bouquet will make them feel appreciated. In a case like this, the anonymous gift is an extra special reminder that their efforts are being noticed.
Go ahead. Be someone's secret admirer today!

Warneet – a Career in Floristry
Ordering flowers online has many advantages over the "traditional" way of walking into a florist. Here's a summary of some of those advantages:
It's Quick!
Log online, browse the range, make a few clicks, and you're done! No travelling to a florist shop, no finding parking, no waiting for service! Simply select your items, make payment, and your order is on it's way.
It's Convenient!
You can order flowers when you want to. After work, during your lunch break, even at 2am if you wanted to! Online florists are open 24 hours a day, so you have the convenience of being able to order any time of the day from the comfort of your own home.
You Get Great Specials!
Particularly in the case of online florists, they usually fulfill orders through a range of local florists. This means that you have access to the best prices. If you go into a local florist shop, you are stuck with their prices. But by purchasing online, you know that if you buy a dozen red roses (for example), they have usually sourced it from the lowest price florist. It's a great way to get discount flowers.
The Prices Are Lower
Especially for online florists who do not have physical stores, overheads are lower. Also staffing costs are lower because ordering systems are automated, so in the end this all adds up to lower prices on flowers. On average, you will pay lower costs through an online florist than you will in a physical store.
You Get To See The Full RangeThrough an online florist, you can view hundreds of different arrangements all in one place, which is usually not possible within a florist shop.
Flower Delivery - Give the Gift of Flowers This Valentine's Day
As our global community continues to expand we often find ourselves with friends and families who live in countries outside of the U.S. In the past this caused somewhat of a dilemma if a person wanted to send a gift of flowers internationally. It was not as simple as calling the local florist; it was almost impossible to find a florist who could wire transfer the order to another florist in a different country. This has changed, however, because of the availability of resources via the Internet.
Do a simple search in any major search engine for "International Flower Delivery" and you will yield hundreds of results. Many companies are now offering international flower delivery and it is usually just as simple as ordering domestically.
Many online flower companies have access to florists worldwide. It is usually simple to find an online company, select your product and specify that you need the order to be shipped internationally. The company will then relay your order to the affiliate florist in that area and your flowers will be delivered.
Some companies may charge a processing fee for international flower delivery orders and others will not. The same holds true if the recipient resides in a very small or rural area where flower delivery may take additional time. Some companies will also have a delay in delivery to verify the recipient's address. With all flower delivery orders but especially true with international orders, it is very important to have the correct address including spellings for street and city names.
