Flower deliveries date back to the ancient Egyptians and their use of sending flowers as an act of admiring someone and love. The Egyptians also used the oil from the flowers for some very strong perfumed oil; the oil was mixed in the bath water for both men and women in ancient times. Even today, Egyptians put the oil in beautiful holders of all sizes and shapes.

Many women save this oil from the flowers to use as perfume, both with and without an alcohol base, as it has a very strong scent when in its purest form. Buyers from the great houses of perfume in France come each year and some all year round to buy these oils to make perfume.

Now, take the flower delivery of the early 1900’s, you will see that the local florist was all the people had to deliver flowers to friends and loved ones. If you wanted flowers to be delivered elsewhere in the country you had to send a telegram and hope for the best. Even graves going back thousands of years have remnants of flowers in the soil of the graves. Today at modern funerals, many times, there are flowers thrown into graves and this is done usually by each individual at the funeral as a sign of respect to the person that is being buried.

Many flowers are named after the botanists that put together the seeds and were able to mutate a huge selection of variations on standard varieties of flowers.

Florida has a huge growth of foreign vegetation. Interestingly Dr. Joel Roberts-Poinsett introduced the poinsettia, named after him, to the United States in about 1928, and is now the traditional flower used for Christmas, usually decorating churches during December when they bloom. These fresh flowers are standard decorations in churches during holy days.
