At our flower shop we get our flowers direct from the flower farmers around the world and have them shipped to us directly within hours of being cut. But this isn't how it is usually done.
Usually a huge amount of flowers are grown at the flower farm, then cut and a big portion of them is shipped to a wholesale warehouse flower seller in a big city where the flowers will sit in coolers for days (sometimes weeks) before florists will come in and buy some of the flowers wholesale. Then those florists take the flowers to their shops and put them in their coolers to sell them to you. Obviously by the time you are buying these flowers, the flowers have been cut and traveling for upwards to a week or more!
Obviously you can't buy direct from a flower farm because you'd need to buy so many boxes and boxes of flowers for them to sell to you. Same with a wholesale warehouse, they only sell to florists.
At our flower shoppe we like the fact that we buy direct from the flower farmers, and enjoy passing on the incredibly fresh flowers to our customers. Essentially we cut out one of the middle men (The wholesale flower sellers).
