It was for a Grand Opening of a new pharmacy, and the sender wanted to make a splash.
No carnations or daisies with this order, but that's the problem. The order was for delivery within 24 hours, and there was no way that the tiny shop in Georgetown had all of the flowers in stock. Nor could they get them on short notice.
After all, we're talking a mix of Bells of Ireland, Dendrobium Orchids, Ginger, and Asiatic Lilies. Most shops might carry one of these items on a regular basis, but all four? Not a chance.
This would be a custom floral order at best, and would need a week's advance notice just to make sure the wholesaler could obtain everything that was needed.
Thankfully we have choicse in our Canada Florists Network to choose from flower shops in neighbouring communities. We made some phone calls, and sure enough a florist in Brampton had everything we needed.
This is what the sender selected:
The shop also made the choice of delivering the arrangement in a basket, which was very wise. The shallow dish in the image won't support the weight of these large blooms, and would likely tip over from the breath of a baby (bad pun, I know).
Congratulations to the management & staff at the pharmacy. You're thought of very highly!
Thanks for sharing us. florarie florisis
