Daisies is pretty famous in the florist world. Apparently quite a few Londoners place orders here, such is its reputation. It's in the chic, rather bohemian area of Jericho, so fits in nicely with the little cafes and grocers. In their own words, they specialise in natural, stylish and contemporary flowers. Quite how flowers can be contemporary, I don't really know, but they certainly manage it. They're used by lots of the Oxford colleges for conferences and posh dinners, by local restaurants, such as the Old Parsonage Hotel, and for weddings, funerals, celebrations and personal greetings. The basic gist is that you go in or phone to discuss your requirements and they'll talk over your options. They seem quite flexible and the flower arrangements I've seen have been magnificent and long-lasting. They come in baskets, vases, pots and all sorts, so don't limit your thoughts to the humble plastic-wrapped bouquet. You pay for what you get, of course, and bouquets to order start at around £25 and rapidly get more expensive. Delivery is £5 for Oxford and £8 for elsewhere. read more
