A nominal delivery charge starting from Rs. 200 is applicable for the rest of the province. Dr. Malavige says he expects to address a long felt need by connecting the people of the region with their friends and relatives around the world with the online portal www.lassanaflora.com with its extensive range of gift options which includes flowers, cakes, fruit baskets, soft toys, perfumes and many more.
