He is fast. Hermes, Greek god also known to the Romans as Mercury may be depicted with wings on his feet. He was the messenger of the gods. I assume the Floral industry wanted to be depicted as delivering divine messages quickly. (before the flowers or your relationship dies,)
I think you mean Mercury and it's FTD. Another answer: The Greek god was called Hermes, and the Romans called him Mercury. Indeed, the florist is FTD.
Mercury was the messenger of the gods, with wings on his feet. He is known for speed. FTD Florist began as a network of florist's shops. Instead of sending a letter to have flowers delivered to a distant city, FTD would send telegrams through their telex system, so that the flowers could be delivered from the local office the next day, instead of the next week or month.
Because, in ancient Greek mythology, Hermes (Mercury to the Romans) was the messenger of the gods, and was noted for his speedy delivery of messages. He became the symbol of FTD to show how fast their delivery was.
One can find a contact number for an FTD online florist by visiting their official website FTD Florists Online. On that website, their contact number is listed.

The AMA Symbol is the caduceus, Hermes' staff, and also the symbol of the United States Medical Corps. The element mercury is named after Hermes' Roman aspect, as well as Mercury the car, the 1950s space missions, and the planet. A European designer company is called Hermes. The Flower deliver company FTD (Florist's Transworld Delivery) uses Hermes as its logo. Hermes is also the symbol (for obvious reasons) of the Greek Post Office, and his winged sandals is the logo for Goodyear Tires. Hermes has also influenced English language, as well as pop culture. "Hermetic" means stubborn or impervious to influence or resistant to change, describing the god's character. In pop culture, Hermes is a Jamaican bureaucrat in the show Futurama.
