    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm not sure of actual prices (I think you'll be very lucky to get anything under £25 delivered) but I've used an online service which was very good called Arena flowers....I won't link for fear of being accused of spamming...but I've been told the flowers were great by the few people to whom I've sent them. If you google them they'll be the first to come up I think :)

    flying flowers prices start at about £9.99 I think. They get flown from Jersey so not necessarily next day though they are sent first class post. HTH.

    Also, remember to go through a cash back site (eg: Topcashback.com or Quidco.com) to get a percentage of the money you pay for the flowers.

    My friend's mum used a local florist in Cardiff called Rolfes to deliver some flowers for her daughter - I saw them and they were lovely. The mum isn't based in Cardiff and phoned up with the order. I'm not sure if they have a website, search for them on google maybe. They are based on Splott Road in Cardiff.

    Carnations in Llanrumney are also very good.

    Please pull my nightie down when you have finished
  • thanks guys, got a local florists in cardiff to deliver, was £25 but at least i am supporting small local shops instead of funding corporate monsters.

    Althouuh i have to admit i did look at tesco's site for prices - did you know they are no longer sending flowers, maybe there is not enough demand...
