i have a friend at a college i'd like to send flowers to, but i'm not sure how much it'd cost. the florist sites are ridiculously priced.
Find a UK florist like interflora which will let you pay in USD but the flowers will be sent from the UK. Any local florists are unlikely to be able to take American payments.
Collect containers from car boot sales, junk shops and grocery packaging.
Looking through my scullery shelves, I can see:
• A wide array of metal-topped kilner jars and jam jars for wild flower bunches.
• Old woven plastic baskets hiding Tupperware boxes to hold oasis and water.
• Tiny vintage terracotta pots for posies of muscari.
• Old-fashioned oil cans for sunflowers and dahlias.
• A dried hollowed-out pumpkin – for pot marigolds and cavolo nero leaves.
• Antique children’s galvanised buckets – lovely with lavender in the loo.
• Large, ugly coloured glass vases for gladioli and lilies — two a penny from boot sales.
• Even small coloured drinks bottles look good in multiples full of spring flowers.
