Which bouquet? Florist/Waitrose/Asda?

I need to drive 4 hours, park the car not necessarily in the shade, seaside car park (SW), BUT predicted 18 degrees, tops, be away 2 hours, walking on beach, return and drive half an hour to someone’s house, to deliver a bouquet of flowers.

I'm thinking Asda flowers will have lost it by then, but do Waitrose flowers have more longevity- or do I need £ florist?

I do want the flowers to ‘pop’ a bit upon presentation, not all in tight bud.

Thanks for any insight.

Can you pop into a supermarket more local to where you are visiting?

I think the type of flower might be more important to the longevity than where you buy them but I don’t know enough about flowers to know which are more robust.

M&S flowers are super fresh if that’s an option? Asda will be fine, can’t comment on Waitrose. Wrap the stems in wet kitchen paper towel then in foil. Should be fine.
