As Saudi Gazette writes, some Saudi people have placed orders in flower shops for many days and even weeks till holiday in order to be out of suspicions.
The secret flower deliverer says that sometimes they deliver bouquets in the middle of night or early in the morning if only not to get under suspicion.
Others enamored arrange appointments in more liberal neighboring countries: Bahrain or the United Arabian Emirates.
In Saudi Arabia authorities from religious reasons try to not suppose meetings between women and the men, who are not married.
