A Dozen Red Roses Or An Orchid?
One thing to keep in mind when sending flowers to the Philippines is that the flowers have to be available locally. Even if you use a State side florist, they will be getting a florist close to where your Filipina lives to create the arrangements and deliver the flowers. While a dozen red roses is romantic and impressive anywhere in the world, ask yourself how readily available they might be in the Philippines?
In Manila and Cebu and the major cities I am sure there are roses to be had. But if she lives in a smaller town or in the provinces then you will be hard pressed to find anything not locally grown. Many flowers we consider ’staples’ of bouquets such as roses and carnations are grown in Baguio and then transported around the country and so they can be expensive by our standards as well as to a local buyer.
On the other hand what we consider exotic tropical blooms such as orchids might be a dime a dozen and grow right outside her nipa hut! The best solution is to work with your florist and to choose a florist with a lot of experience in delivering arrangements to Filipinas in the Philippines, even when they don’t live in Manila but way out on some remote island.
