	You can easily send flowers to anyone, anywhere.  They can be located across the street or across the country, it doesn't make any difference.  With our national directory of flower shops and florists, we can give you all the information you need to speak with local flower shops and florists who will create and deliver the floral product you wish to send.  Sometimes in small towns, there is no local flower shops.  Nevertheless, we can still provide everything you need to contact a flower shop or florist that is near and close by to that town.  Not only will you save money by eliminating all fees and charges associated with various middlemen when you order and buy direct, you can speak directly to the florists who will be making and delivering your floral gift.  This means you will know exactly what is available at the present time and season and exactly what will be sent.
	
	Locate-A-Flower-Shop.com® is a directory of FTD and Teleflora flower shops and retail stores.  We help you find the florist shop that meets your exact needs.  It doesn't matter if you want to send flowers, roses, plants, orchids, fruit baskets, gifts, candy, balloons or silk arrangements, local flower shops have the expertise to guide you to make the correct flower selection.
	
	Flowers convey the thoughts and feelings words cannot.  From a birthday, wedding or anniversary gift to a loved one's funeral or memorial, local floral shops can help you say it with flowers.
	
	Place your order as soon as possible from the florist to assure same day delivery.  You can enter your order either online through the flower shop's Internet web site or if you need help, use the toll free telephone number of the floral shop.  For those florist shops in Whittier, CA not having a toll free telephone number, a local telephone number with area code is listed.

	Ordering Advice:
	
	Not all colors are available for all types of flowers.  While you can specify the overall color or colors of the arrangement (e.g., spring colors, fall colors, pastels, etc.), it again is wise to allow the florist to pick the individual colors and flowers so they can give you the best quality.
	
	Place your flower order early, especially for holidays.  By placing the order a few days ahead of the delivery date, you give the florist the chance to order the product you want if they do not already have it.  Additionally, florists usually have a limit to the quantity of orders they can deliver for a particular holiday.  By placing your order early, you will make sure you are one of those able to get their orders filled.
