Thank-you for your thoughtful reply Lynn!
And this person didn't even respond to that e-mail? OUCH! I'd give it a bit of time - you never know what's going on in another person's life - but set a time limit. I usually give people a month at the max. At that point, depending on how well I know the person, I either send one more e-mail and ask again if they're okay, or I just let it go and leave it up to them to make contact when and if they choose.

In your situation, you might want to wait a week, then send an e-mail checking on them again and asking if they received the flower arrangement you sent. Then, set your time limit for a response. If they don't respond again, I don't think I would send them another arrangement in the future.
