How can I send flowers to somebody in China?

Can anybody recommend an online florist that can accept US payment for delivery in China?
There seem to be a few Chinese florists online that have English pages and somewhat reasonable prices, but how can I tell if they are reputable or not? Flower quality and punctuality are important too, of course. Has anybody done this before and have any links or advice?

googled "beijing flowers" got a spelling correction, but also got a banner ad for http://www.chinaflower.com.cn and they have prices in US dollars.

Response by poster: Thanks dogmom. I googled myself before asking, but I was hoping for personal experiences.

Best answer: Here's what happened:
-Ordered online from http://www.cnflowernet.com/ with a temporary credit card number. (Ended up being unnecessary to do so, but better safe than sorry!)
-The prices were cheap compared to equivalent quantities/quality in the US. I also upgraded the flowers to the "luxury" option for something like five dollars. It sounds like it was worth it.
-They sent several tracking/progress emails after I ordered.
-The delivery person called the recipient before hand, and did not speak English (OK in this case).
-Same-day delivery! (Be careful with different time-zones.)
Overall success!
