2. In cases where a South Carolina florist receives an order pursuant to which he gives telegraphic instructions to a second florist located outside South Carolina for delivery of flowers to a point outside South Carolina, tax will likewise be owing with respect to the total receipts of the sending florist from the customer who placed the order.
