Countywide : ‘Flowers of Hope’ Orders Accepted

Buy a daffodil, help a cancer patient.

The American Cancer Society in Orange County is now accepting orders for its 10th annual Daffodil Days, with the proceeds going to research and education about the disease.

“They are the flower of hope for cancer patients,” said Jennifer Guenette, a spokeswoman for the cancer society. “Buy them and you’ll be helping out with a great cause.”

Though Daffodil Days doesn’t take place until the week of March 20, Guenette urges placing orders now.

The cost is $6 for 10 daffodils, $10 for daffodils arranged in a vase with greenery, $50 for 40 daffodil blooms in a designer vase and $100 for a corporate basket with all the trimmings.

Orders of $50 or more are delivered for free to any Orange County residence. Coast Yellow Cab, Yellow Cab of North Orange County and Domino’s Pizza will assist volunteers with local deliveries.

Orders less than $50 must be picked up at the Orange County Fairgrounds, 88 Fair Drive, Flower Building No. 9, Costa Mesa.

To place an order before the March 6 deadline, call Dot Kramer at (714) 751-0441.
