) The Blossom Shop uses vans and station
wagons, which they say can carry about 30
orders of flowers each.
? But while the Blossom Shop drivers will be
' using their "creative parking," Rosewood's
drivers will be using a "jumper" system
; where two people deliver flowers, but one pcri
son stays with the vehicle to move it in case
1 something comes up.
Florists are also tapering the Valentine's
I Day rush by proclaiming Valentine's Week instead
of Valentine's Day. They are encouraging
people to put their orders in early so the
bulk of flowers will be sent out on Wednes

Patton said the most popular floral arrangements
are the ones offered by wire services
such as FTD.
Flower shops buy containers from the wire
services, which send out brochures for the
various arrangements and pay for the
advertisement.
The containers are usually decorative
canisters or jars that can be saved after the
flowers arc gone.
Patton said this year he has noticed that
many men want to send their flowers out early
to avoid the rush. He also noticed more
flowers are being sent by girls to guys this
year.
