Doors with codes, lobbies and desks

An apartment or a building with an entry system needs the unit, the building name and what to do at the door. A florist cannot guess a code, so the order should give it or name someone who will answer the buzzer.

When the recipient is away, the notes can name a neighbor or the front desk as the person to accept the flowers. The photo sent after the florist finishes shows what was delivered and how it looks.

Flower types may be substituted for what the florist has on hand, and the size, shape and value of the arrangement stay as ordered. The arrangement catalog lists each design, and the statewide page covers the other towns in Washington.
