Send Flowers to Dresden, Germany

Rebuilt stone by stone, the baroque skyline of Dresden along the Elbe is one of the great sights of Germany: the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger, the Semper Opera. Life happens on both banks. North of the river the Outer Neustadt is full of students, bars and painted courtyards. Upstream lie the villas of Blasewitz and Loschwitz, linked by the steel bridge everyone calls the Blue Wonder. Striesen, Pieschen and Löbtau are popular with families, and large housing estates stand in Prohlis and Gorbitz.

Many who send flowers to Dresden from abroad left Saxony for work and still have parents and grandparents here, so birthdays, anniversaries and get-well wishes dominate. Researchers at the technical university and the chip factories in the north of the city are another group of recipients. Order before midnight local time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday. Sundays are excluded. In Advent the Striezelmarkt, among the oldest Christmas markets in the country, sets the tone, and amaryllis, poinsettias and winter greenery are favourite choices.
