Florists in Houma, LA

Houma has six florists, more than anywhere else in Terrebonne Parish. That is enough to compare on style and price rather than taking the first quote, and independent shops differ more on both than their listings suggest. Five list a website; the other takes orders by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Metairie, about 44 miles away, with 13 florists. Bear in mind that a shop delivering out of its own town will usually charge more for it and may need more notice.

Humidity is the enemy of a summer arrangement here, more than heat. Flowers hold far better in an air-conditioned room than a screened porch, and anything delivered outdoors should be brought in straight away. Tropicals and foliage cope with the conditions better than soft-stemmed garden flowers.
