Ordering Flowers
As former florists, we witnessed all too often "Order Gatherers" taking advantage of consumers. These companies even purchase ads in your local yellow pages. They buy sponsored ads in major search engines online. They create websites that lead you to believe that they are a local florist. These companies often work in a call center, far removed from the recipient of your flower gift.
These companies will process your $60.00 floral arrangement order and pass it on to a local florist at a value of $43.00 (to include delivery) You paid $60.00! It just doesn't make sense. We find these companies to be misleading and dishonest. They would never tell you that the value of your arrangement is compromised. They are happy to process your order and keep a portion of your money. Consumers deserve better.
Always make sure you are dealing directly with a REAL local florist to get the best value and better service! Here are just a few of the advantages of ordering your flowers from a REAL local florist;A Better Value!- 100% of your order is applied to your flowers and delivery, No middleman, No extra fees!Professional advice- Only a professional florist can offer you expert advice to your floral questions. They can suggest creative floral ideas for any occasion. After all, THEY will be designing your flower arrangement. Talk to the people who know flowers, not pictures of flowers. Availability- By talking directly to the florist you know what flowers/gift items are available.In Store Promotions/Sales- You may discover that the florist is offering a sale or special promotion that you were not aware of...saving you even more money!Your Specific Details- You can specify any little details about your order, even important delivery specifications.
Errors are common when your order is relayed through a middleman. When you call the florist directly, your order is placed right at the source. You are supporting a small business within the community- A business that in turn supports their community, keeping it thriving economically. Flowers are the ultimate gift of expression. You deserve the best value for your money.
A REAL local florist will provide you with professional advice & service. Always make sure that the florist you are calling holds a physical address in the area you are sending to. You will be so glad you did!.

They don't really know what they're getting."Although they may think they got a bargain, consumers may end up being disappointed in the quality they receive. Or worse, if they send a floral gift, they spend a lot of money to give a high-quality gift, and they never know that the recipient got something far different from what the sender intended.Alan Gurinsky has answered many questions and helped many customers in his three decades as an independent florist.

This Valentine’s Day Local Florists Offer To Replace Flowers Sold By Drop-Ship Competitors; An Industry First Guarantee
(ContentDesk) February 9, 2006 -- Why are these US flower shops pledging an industry first guarantee on flowers they did not sell?

Wild Flower Arrangements
While walking through the woods, you may marvel at the wildflowers, but bringing home cut wildflowers from your walk in the woods may be impractical. A florist can use all the necessary skills and materials to create an arrangement of wild flowers that help bring nature indoors.
It is true that flowers in a florist's shop aren't really cut from the wild, but they do give that impression. A wild flower design usually comprises delicate small and fragile blossoms such as alstroemeria, freesia, yarrow, or crocosmia, enhanced by the slender stems of the scabiosa or lisianthus. Filler flowers such as Queen Anne's lace, Monte Casino asters, or Misty Blue limonium give depth and texture while asparagus ferns and bear grass add an ethereal touch.
You can make a wildflower arrangement in either a vase or basket.
Cut the stems on a diagonal with a knife and under water, prior to placing them. Singe the stem ends of the poppies so that they don't lose...
