What to tell us when you order.

What to tell us when you place your order.
Help us to please your recipient.

Florists are experts in many areas but they can’t read minds.
So if you have specific flower or color preferences, be sure to communicate that to your florist. And don't worry if you are not familiar with the names of the thousands of flowers available. By following these simple tips, you can order flowers from a florist with confidence:
When ordering floral gifts, describe the recipient's personality type, as well as his/her favorite hobbies or colors if you know them. Winfield Flower Shoppe can match the floral arrangement with the recipient's personality.

Tell us if the gift is for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary or other personal milestone).
He or she can offer suggestions on how to best celebrate with flowers.
If the flowers are for decorating or entertaining, describe the environment where the arrangement will be placed so your florist can create an arrangement that complements the style and colors of your home.

Consider bringing in your own vase or container for an added personal touch.
Ask us for specific colors or color themes.

Let us know if you prefer a mixed flower arrangement or an arrangement made up of just one type of flower.

Provide us with the necessary basic information -
the name, full address and phone number of the recipient,
the delivery date, your card message and payment information.

Whether sending flowers across the country or around the corner, we provides the expertise, convenience and service today's on-the-go consumers are looking for.

Phalaenopsis Orchids








  • Name - Pronounced fal-a-nop-sis. Comes from Greek phalaina meaning a moth and opsis meaning resemblance.
  • Description - Arching flower stalks bear lovely, flat, multiple flower heads which resemble moths or butterflies.
  • Origin - South East Asia
  • Family - Orchid family, with 50+ species belonging to the genus Phalaenopsis
  • Care Tips - Enjoy a light spot, but no long-term exposure to bright sunlight. Regular, moderate watering ideally using boiled and cooled water. Provide high humidity, mist often but not on the flower heads. Feed with Orchid fertiliser every 14 days. Cut back stems after flowers fade to just below node which produced the first flower. Given the right conditions phalaenopsis can flower for months on end.
