Ordering Advice:
Make sure you have the complete street address of the recipient.  The florist's delivery person cannot make a delivery to "the big white house next to the park" easily.  If the address is for a large office building, specify the building name since these types of buildings often do not have easily seen street numbers.
If possible, have the telephone number of the recipient.  In a worst case scenario, it might be necessary to contact the recipient to get further directions.  While it may "spoil" the surprise of getting the flowers, it is usually better than not getting the order delivered at all.
