Wholesale Salmon Alstroemeria
Our flowers are shipped direct from the farm, making them extremely fresh! Alstroemeria is a member of the lily family, and have multiple blooms per stem - elongating their bloom time. Alstroemeria may arrive in bud form. We suggest you receive your alstroemeria 3-4 days before your event to allow for natural opening of the flowers; however, if you need to force the blooms to open earlier, simply cut the stems and place in very warm, almost hot water. Repeat 6 - 12 hours later and blooms should start to open. Once a bloom opens, the remaining blooms will continue to open over the next several days, giving you extra time to enjoy these beautiful flowers. Wholesale Alstroemeria Requires 7 Days Advance Notice! Free Shipping is included in the price, with a 100% guarantee of quality. As these are farm direct from South America, you must have someone there to sign for your package when it arrives!
