History
One of the nicest ways to express a personal message is to
"SAY IT WITH FLOWERS".
Almost one hundred years ago this expression of a message left the sender and
their florist in relative hardship because of transportation difficulties. At
this time, florists on differing sides of towns exchanged orders (at market)
and made their financial settlement on a personal basis. Because of this, the
relaying or exchanging of orders by wire began operating in Germany in 1908 and America as early as 1910.
The growth of relaying flower orders from one florist to another accelerated,
but not to any great extent, until World War Two, when troops away from home
added impetus to the sending of flowers by wire.
World-wide Growth
Upon the cessation of hostilities florists on both sides
of the Atlantic recognized that a formal agreement would be necessary to
develop the interest generated through the war years into a peace-time
venture. Therefore on July 22nd 1946 representatives of America, Britain and Europe met in Copenhagen, Denmark to create Flowercorp Incorporated as it is
known today. It is interesting to note that part of the original agreement
stated ... “for our respective associations we pledge to further its
interests so that the world may be better served and the friendship of
nations cemented through the medium of flowers”.
