FIND A FLORIST OFFERS MOTHER'S DAY FLOWER BUYING TIPS

Planning Ahead and Knowing Mom's Favorites are Important When Sending Flowers

April 8, 2008 – Teleflora’s Find A Florist, the leading online florist locator, today released essential Mother's Day floral buying advice for consumers. With Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11, less than six weeks away, waiting until the last minute to select a florist could result in a less than stellar floral gift for mom. Find A Florist recommends planning in advance and conducting research through FindAFlorist.com to ensure one's floral gift is appropriately arranged and carefully delivered by a high-quality florist.

"The top choices of flowers for Mother's Day are carnations, followed by mixed bouquets, daffodils, tulips and roses," said Chris Campbell, director of online marketing, Teleflora. "Mother's Day is one of the most popular days to buy flowers and moms will definitely appreciate the time and thought put into selecting the right floral arrangements."

Flowers actually have their own language and each one carries a special meaning. The America's Favorite Mom Bouquet from Teleflora features lilies, which signify majesty; pink roses, which stand for happiness, appreciation and admiration; and alstroemerias, which denote prosperity. The bouquet is always hand-arranged and hand-delivered by a local florist to ensure freshness, making the floral arrangement an exquisite and simple way to thank mom for everything she has done.

Teleflora's Find A Florist directory of over 20,000 local florists allows consumers to search for florists in specific markets and areas, or allows them to shop online and select a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers or a sumptuous gift basket for delivery anywhere in the country.
