How do i find/order flowers that have a nice smell? (i.e. NOT GREENHOUSE OR HOTHOUSE flowers)?

i want to order flowers for my mom. She doesn't like flowers when they come from a green house or hothouse b/c she says they don't have any smell.


How do i go about finding flowers that DON'T come from those places?


what search term do i use? is there a word for flowers that aren't grown in hothouses or greenhouses? like "fresh" or "organic"?


im pretty sure that those are NOT the right terms to use in my search. id appreciate any idea as to what word i might enter into the query of a search engine.


thanks~

Yellow flowers will generally have more fragrance that other colors.


Freesia is a cut flower smells good wherever it is grown.


lavender plants and rosemary are nice.


Yellow primroses, stargazer lilies and hyacinth are fragrant.


If you live in the same area as mom just shop with your nose.


If you get roses yellow spray type roses one of the more fragrant types.


Many commercially grown plants and flowers are not as fragrant as garden types.


But she may not want you to buy her flowers at all.


A gardenia blossom smells great, you could have one delivered to her and she could float it in a rose bowl.


Good luck..

Reply:White freesias smell devine and look very pretty as well.





I find whole food markets have cheap organic flowers year round

Reply:LOTS OF LUCK!!! The flowers we get now are all imported from warmer, sunnier climes or grown in greenhouses/hothouses.
