Guide to adding Agenda Floral to Apple and Google Calendar
Apple or Google decide when to check for updates. We cannot guarantee that changes appear immediately. Importing the file gives you a copy that does not receive our future corrections. Importing again may duplicate events. We do not add alarms, although your calendar may apply its own alerts.
Changing dates
The day of the month varies each year. When ordering from abroad, write the full date for that Sunday and the Mexican delivery town.
Arrange a window in the destination’s local time and check Sunday delivery. If it does not fit, choose another day for the gift and send your message on Sunday.
Flowers and container as one complete gift
Sunflowers highlight yellow petals and a dark centre. Gerberas offer other colours with an open bloom. For a narrow bouquet, ask for an arrangement with irises. Start with his preferences and compare the finished gift’s dimensions.
If he will use his own vase, its measurements help shape the bouquet. If you include a container, allow for its width, the flowers’ height and how everything will travel together.
A gift to take home after lunch
If you eat at someone else’s home, prepare the flowers for your father to take away. Leave them on a side table and keep the dining table free for serving.
An order example: “I would like sunflowers in a container. We are eating at my sister’s and my father will take them home by car. I need the overall width and a box that holds the base securely during the journey.”
A card for him and a clear destination
The card could say: “Dad, I love that we always find something to talk about. These flowers come with a hug.” Adapt the words to your relationship and sign your name.
For delivery from afar, distinguish the lunch address from his home. Send the gift where he will receive it, adding access details if needed.
Which flowers to choose
Compare flowers to choose the format, colours and care that suit the occasion.
Sunflower
Main flower in our selectionA suggestion if he enjoys yellow and flowers that stand out. Choose the bouquet width around the space where he will put it on returning home.
Gerbera
Another option for highlighting a colour he enjoys. A compact bouquet is easier to take home after a family meal.
Dutch iris
An alternative if he likes their distinctive petal shapes. Choose a few stems for a narrow gift and add a card.
