It’s not unusual for some Eflorist flowers to look a little different when they first arrive. Many of our courier bouquets are sent with blooms still in bud, helping to protect them during their journey.
Give them some fresh water, follow the care instructions and allow them a little time to open. Over the next few days, you’ll get to watch your bouquet transform as the flowers begin to bloom.
Still curious? Explore our Flower Encyclopedia to learn more about individual flower varieties, from roses and lilies to peonies, tulips and sunflowers. Discover their meanings, characteristics and care tips, or find inspiration for the next bouquet you send.
