"The Interflora story began over 90 years ago when two florists on opposite sides of America decided to telegraph orders to each other rather than try to send flowers long distance. Back then, the telegraph was the key method of long distance communication – and who could have guessed then how much things would change.

Today, Interflora orders are communicated from one town to the next or one continent to another in the blink of an eye. Your order for a special gift to be delivered in Chelmsford can be taken over the internet, via your mobile phone, on the telephone, or face to face in an Interflora florist's shop. One thing is for sure, however we take your order, you'll still receive the same excellent service Interflora is known for – and your friend or loved one will be delighted you were thinking of them."
