Flower delivery in Orlando, Florida

A delivery in Orlando can mean almost anything: a resort room near the theme parks, a townhouse in a new subdivision, or a bed on a hospital campus with several towers. The city sprawls, traffic can be slow, and many addresses are inside gated or managed properties.

The single most useful thing you can do is find out exactly where the person is. A guest who moved hotels or a patient who transferred to another tower will not get the flowers.

Same-day delivery in Orlando

Orlando is on Eastern time. Weekday same-day orders need to be in before 2 p.m. local time. On weekends and holidays, order earlier and treat same-day as a bonus, not a promise. Our same-day cutoffs page explains how florists plan the day.

Resorts and hotels: the guest's name as booked, the hotel name and the stay dates. Large resorts often route deliveries through a bell desk.

Gated subdivisions: add the gate code or a phone number. Drivers cannot wait long at a closed gate.

Heat: central Florida afternoons are hot most of the year. Ask for a hand-off rather than leaving flowers outside.

Weather: hurricane season runs until November 30, and storm warnings can delay deliveries across the region.

Flowers for every occasion in Orlando

Get well

For a child, skip fresh flowers at Nemours and choose a card or a small gift instead. For an adult at another hospital, confirm the unit, then send something compact. See get-well flowers.

New babies

Families at a women's and babies' hospital often have little room. A small arrangement to the home after discharge is easier. Card wording ideas: what to write on the card.

Sympathy, birthdays, love and thanks

Our guides to sympathy flowers, birthday flowers, romantic flowers and thank-you flowers cover each occasion. For a vacation surprise, check with the hotel that it will hold flowers if the guest is out at the parks.
