A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years.

The term ( + , "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials.

The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.

Mail order is the buying of goods or services by mail delivery.

The buyer places an order for the desired products with the merchant through some remote method such as through a telephone call or web site.

Then, the products are delivered to the customer.

The products are typically delivered directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home address, but occasionally the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up.

Some merchants also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third party consumer, which is an effective way to send a gift to an out-of-town recipient.

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in plants that are floral (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms).

The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.

Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower).

Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy).

Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop.

Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.

After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into fruit containing seeds.
