+
Same-day options depend on the delivery ZIP, requested date, florist availability and that florist's local cutoff. Check the available options before paying; a city listing does not guarantee delivery today.
What should I send for a new baby coming home to Covington?
+
Something the parents do not have to look after. A vase design that arrives ready to sit on a counter is the right shape, because nobody with a week-old baby is looking for scissors and a sink, and a blooming plant is even easier. Most Covington babies are born at St. Elizabeth Edgewood, and by the time you hear the news the family is usually already home, so the house address beats the hospital. Keep it small and put it in the notes if there is a doorbell not to ring — plenty of new parents would rather have the flowers left on the step than the nap interrupted.
Can you leave flowers on a Covington porch if nobody is home?
+
With permission, and with some judgement about which porch. In MainStrasse and around Old Seminary Square the front steps sit level with the footpath, so a bouquet waiting there is on display to the whole street; we will call before leaving one. From November to March an exposed step is cold enough to shorten a bouquet's life inside an hour, which is why the winter answer is a sheltered corner, a neighbour or a staffed desk. In July and August a south-facing step in afternoon sun is worse. Alley access behind the houses in Peaselburg, Austinburg and Botany Hills is often the better route, and the driver will find it if you mention it.
Do you deliver to the neighbourhoods up the hill?
+
Yes, and a sentence in the delivery notes makes it painless. Kenton Hills, Monte Casino, City Heights, Rosedale and the climbs into Devou Park switchback hard, numbers hide behind retaining walls, and two drivers given the same address can be sent two different ways by two different apps. A landmark works better than a pin: which side of the curve, the colour of the door, the house after the stone wall. The same goes for the older flats above the Madison Avenue and Pike Street storefronts, where several units can share one street door — name the buzzer, not just the number.
What is worth sending in spring and summer specifically?
+
Whatever the designer has that day. Kentucky and southern Ohio growing seasons put local stems into the shops from late April through the summer, and the benches build looser and more seasonally when they can get them. If you write "whatever is best today" in the notes for a no-occasion bouquet, you will nearly always get more flower for the money than by naming a variety that has to be flown in — and in May or June around here it usually means something grown within a couple of hundred miles. In winter the reverse holds: name what you want, because the interesting material is all imported anyway.
Can I send an everyday bouquet to someone's workplace instead of their home?
+
Often the better call, because somebody is always there to receive it. The RiverCenter towers on RiverCenter Boulevard, Fidelity Investments' Covington campus, the Kenton County offices on Simon Kenton Way and City Hall, which occupies the old Bavarian Brewery on Pike Street, all keep a staffed desk that will take a delivery. Shops and restaurants along Main Street, Madison Avenue and Pike Street will simply take it at the counter. Give us a building name and a floor or suite rather than just a street, plus a mobile number, and aim for mid-morning — a Friday afternoon bouquet at an empty desk sits all weekend.
