Oct. 22, 2010 - The floral experts at Grower Direct want to share their love of flowers with their customers in a brand new way: the Grower Direct iPhone App.

This exciting and very practical application has been developed for iPhone users in the hopes that it will make everyday life a snap when it comes to researching, viewing, and ordering flowers from anywhere, at anytime. The Grower Direct iPhone App provides information on hundreds of topics about flowers and everything flower-related.

Developed in conjunction with crazedCoders of Edmonton, the free app will answer questions such as:

•     How old the world’s oldest rose bush?
•     How do flowers affect people’s moods?
•     Which flower is associated with a 25th Anniversary?

The app is sure to be popular among those who need a little help when it comes to ordering and choosing flowers for any occasion and features the popular “Guys Guide to Giving Flowers” to ensure that birthdays and anniversaries are top priorities in every household. With the fun new app, flowers can be sent anywhere in the world with the push of a button.

Designing this free app for users who are interested in everything and anything flower related was a logical step for the Canadian retail flower chain. The Grower Direct iPhone App is made for those who just can’t get enough of this popular subject; the facts, tips and trivia available in the free iPhone App will keep users informed about care and handling of cut flowers, current trends in flowers and design, the right flowers for the right occasions, and even give you access to special promotions. People across the world will be able to look up any fact they’d like to know about flowers including: health benefits, flower meanings, and flower varieties.

“We know flowers,” says Grower Direct CEO, Doug Munro, “and we want to share that knowledge with people everywhere.”
