You may be able to find some flowers, like roses and tulips, regardless of what time of year it is. Other flowers, like peonies, are only available in certain months and may be more expensive due to their rarity.

One of the major benefits about using an online retailer is that you often have a wider variety of flowers to choose from. You may be able to get flowers that are in season in climates other than your own since the flowers will be shipped straight to you from the supplier.
