I find the best thing to do is go to Yell.com and find a florist near where she lives and contact them directly. that way you avoid transmission charges and more money goes on the flowers.

If you need any help with this I'm a florist in the UK!! but not with a relay company so I'm not touting for business!!:D

The expensive option - Blooms is local http://www.flowershopromsey.co.uk/ - they have a branch in the town.

Change the first 0 of the phone number to 01144 to make the international call from the USA. They'll take a credit card.

The better option, www.interflora.co.uk is half the price and probably more efficient. They'll deliver 20 Mixed Roses for £20, for example. They take online credit card orders.

Thanks everyone. Sometimes wish I was a real Pheasant, then I could just fly over and deliver them myself. That would make my day and hers - I miss her alot :-4

It's a bloomin' long way for a pheasant to fly. They mostly seem to sit in the road around here!

Next flowers are lovely, always really good quality and don't break the bank either.

You can order online as well.

That would wonderful Ali. The part of New Forest right next to Lydhurst (down high street and right at hotel opposite fire station) is where my Mums ashes were scattered. The cemetary there has a plaque in memory of her.

:wah: I think my sister was conceived under the tree on hill :wah:

By the way, Marks and Spencers flowers are good value too, it just depends if you would like them delivered in a box or a 'bespoke' design delivered by hand.

Hope you find something suitable.
