Sending flowers to someone in the hospital is a great way to cheer them up and show them that you care. Fresh flowers can give great aroma and bring a special brightness to the hospital room and even help reduce stress! Before you place your flower order to any hospital there are a few things to know. Most hospitals have regulations on delivery fresh flowers, and may not allow delivery of latex balloons at all. The first step is to call the hospital and verify where the patient is. Most hospitals will not allow fresh flowers if the patient is in a specific area, ie. intensive care, burn unit etc. If the patient is in one of these areas, you may only be able to deliver such items as mylar balloons or stuffed animals. In order to get fresh flowers or plants to the patient, you will likely have to wait until the patient is assigned a regular room. 1. Call the hospital, toconfirm the patients location and room #at the hospital. You will also need toverify if the the patient is still admitted, and if orwhen they are expected to be released. It's not uncommon for news to travel slow to family and friends, and the patient may actually be released by time the florist gets the flowers to the hospital. 2. If the patient is a restricted area and can not receive fresh flowers or plants, ask the hospital if they can receive plush animals, silk flowers, or mylar balloons (instead of latex). Recommendations for Placing Your Hospital Flower Order Search the net for alocal flower flowershopthat delivers to thehospital. If your unsure of what to order, call the florist directly. Make sure they have a local phone # and address posted on their website to assure they are indeed a local florist near the hospital. If the flowershop is indeed a local florist near the hospital, the florist will likely be able to advise you on your flower selection. For example, most hospital rooms have limited space and shelves for displaying the flower arrangements or plants. It's probably a good idea to request a one-sided flower arrangement that can be positioned close to a wall, small shelf or window sill. This will also allow you to get an arrangement that appears larger in size with an increased perceived value! If you expect the patient to be taking the flower arrangement home, request the the florist leave a travel box so that the flowers can be conveniently transported home without damaging them. Another good idea is to request a stuffed plush animal or mylar balloons. Most hospitals will not allow latex balloons due to latex related allergies, but usually don't have restrictions on delivering plush animals or mylar balloons. We deliver flowers to the followinghospitals in the south-east Denver, Parker and Aurora area: Health One Hospitals - Medical Center of Aurora, (south campus), Medical Center of Aurora (north campus), Sky Ridge Hospital in Lone Tree CO, Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker CO including the Children's Hospital at Parker Adventist Hospital Campus.

Our online flower shop directory is to provide floral consumers with a reputable source for locating reliable real local florists and flower-shops. With our online flower shop directory, consumers can locate real local flower-shops and order flowers direct rather than through a middle man, drop shipper, wire service, or fake florist, who gives the appearance that they are a real florist. Our real florist directory allows floral consumers to increase their purchasing power by avoiding unnecessary middleman charges and wire fees by contacting the real florist directly. We encourage consumers and other real florists to recommend other reputable flower-shops to be added to our directory!TheReal-Florists.comflower shop directory was designed with both Florists and Consumers in mind. This online florist directory has numerous advantages for both the floral consumer as well as the flower shop owner.The Real-Florists.com florist directory allows consumers to increase their purchasing power by easily contacting a florist direct, thus cutting out unnecessary middleman service charges and wire fees. Gone are the days where floral consumers need to rely on a nation-wide wire service such as FTD, Teleflora, or 1-800Flowers. Granted, these business had their place several years ago before the internet boom, when floral consumers relied on them to transmit their floral orders long distances, but with today̢۪s technology, the internet, and this directory, consumers are able avoid the inflated costs of working through these third parties. By contacting the real florists direct, consumers will not only save money and increase their purchasing power, but also have the ability to talk to and deal directly with the real florist who is actually filling the order. When the floral consumers are able to contact the flower shop directly, they also decrease the chance of several errors, such as unacceptable substitutions, flower arrangements being delivered on the wrong date or time, monetary errors, or even having their flowers unknowingly drop-shipped, exposed to temperature and climate extremes, or left on the porch to freeze or bake in the hot sun.Real flower shop owners can also benefit by providing better customer service to the floral consumers, increasing profit margins while also delivering a higher quality and higher value floral arrangement to the consumers. It is becoming critical that real florists ban together to educate the public with regard to fake internet based florists and order gatherers, who provide no real service, and destroy confidence within the floral community. One of the greatest advantages that real florist will realize with this directory is that only one florist will be listed per city (with exception to very large cities). This prevents the need of any florist listed in the directory from having to purchase a premium or over-sized ad to get noticed. All florists listed in this directory will have a customized full page ad with basic contact information, description of services, and hyper links directing floral customers to their site. This business model can help eliminate the need for florists to use the national wire services. Florists should not have to pay for a service in order to receive discounted orders! With the Real-Florists.com directory consumers will contact the florist direct and the florist will receive 100% of the order value.We encourage consumers to submit suggestions to us for florists to be added to the directory.Click here to recommend a florist! ...read more

Don't be a victim of an Order Skimmer, Direct Shipper, or Fake Florist! A real florist in Aurora Colorado Visit our Home Page Have you ever ordered this? The fact is, is that most recipients will never tell the sender that they were dissatisfied with their floral delivery for fear of hurting the sender's feelings. But wouldn't you want to know if you were being ripped off? You can avoid this by calling Bloom'in Bee direct when you need flowers delivered to south-east Denver, Aurora, Centennial, or Parker Colorado. Bloom'in Bee will email you a FREE photo of the actual arrangement that we deliver on your behalf. But received this? What is a Fake Florist? A Fake florist is typically an entity that operates on the internet, or advertises in a manner that implies they are local, when in fact they may not even have a physical location, and sometimes even purchase local phone #'s to give they appearance they are local. It is not uncommon for Fake Florists to advertise in such places as the Yellow Pages or Internet Directories and give the impression that they actually deliver flowers locally in a specific area.What is an Order Skimmer? Order Skimmers are frequently Fake Florists, or sometimes real florists that operate in an unethical manner. Order skimmers typically use one or more, well known national wire services such as FTD, Teleflora, or 1800flowers to operate. Order skimmers typically focus on gathering flower orders, charging a large or unreasonable service fee (which is typically not disclosed to the customer), and sending the diluted dollar amount to a real local florist, who then receives a discounted order, frequently resulting in a much smaller or cheaper arrangement than what the sender intended or requested. What is a Direct Shipper? Direct Shippers are entities that frequently work directly with flower growers or wholesalers, are internet based, and rely on national delivery services such as UPS or FEDEX to deliver their flowers. Direct Shippers are sometimes able to provide flowers at a lower cost claiming to cut out the middle man (the real local florist). It may be true that direct shippers are able to ship fresh flowers but, while those flowers are in transit, they are typically exposed to conditions that drastically reduce their life. These flower packages are frequently shipped with all other types of cargo exposing them to extreme conditions such as freezing temperatures, extremely warm temperatures, no water, and exposure to ethylene gas which contributes to a much shorter vase life. Watch these two videos before you order from a Direct Shipper FTD, ProflowersHow do Order Skimmers and Fake Florists operate? Order Skimmer's and Fake Florists generally rely on customers to find their phone # or website via advertisements on the internet or publications such as the Yellow Pages. The customer places his order with the company, who then transmits the order through a wire service. The wire service sends the order to a real local florist who delivers the arrangement. The following example is for demonstration purposes only, and not specific to any particular order gatherer or wire service. Customer decides to send a dozen roses for $60. Customer unknowingly contacts a skimmer and places order. Skimmer deducts $15. Skimmer sends order through a national wire service. Wire service receives order, now valued at $45 and sends to a real florist in recipient's area. Wire Service deducts handling fee of 7%. Real local florist receives order now valued at $41.85. Real florist deducts a delivery fee which typically ranges from $5-$10, leaving florist with approximately $30 - $35 for the actual flowers. Recipient ends up with this. Order is frequently diluted by as much as 30-50%. Avoid Fake Florists Flower Scams! Follow these tips prior to placing your order! Ask family or friends for recommendations! Deal only with shops that list a real street address with a local phone # Ask for directions to the local shop to determine if the shop is indeed "local" Ask the flowershop to itemize your charges Visit the following website for more info: Bloom’in Bee LLC is a family owned and operated floral shop.
