Send Flowers to Rishon LeZion, Israel

Rishon LeZion means First to Zion, and the name fits: it was one of the earliest modern Jewish farming villages, planted with vineyards in the late nineteenth century. The old winery buildings and the founders' quarter around the Great Synagogue still mark the historic centre, while the city around them has grown into one of the largest in Israel.

Today most residents live in apartment towers. The western neighbourhoods near the beach and the big shopping and leisure zones are popular with young families, and the older streets in the east have a quieter, more established feel. Many people commute to Tel Aviv, a short drive north, so weekday deliveries to homes work best when the florist has a mobile number and knows whether a neighbour can accept the flowers.

If you want to send flowers to Rishon LeZion from the United States, Europe or anywhere else, order before midnight Israel time and a local florist delivers the next day, Sunday to Friday. There is no same-day or Saturday delivery. Popular reasons include births, birthdays, Rosh Hashanah and Passover greetings, and Friday bouquets for the Shabbat table. With the city's winemaking heritage, adding a bottle of wine to a bouquet feels especially apt here. In the humid coastal summer, flowers are happiest indoors and in fresh water.
