Always be sure to choose your local "brick and mortar" florist...not some ".com" florist in another city. Those "cubical" floral services (FTD.com, 800Flowers.com) simply take a commission from your order and pass the discounted amount onto a REAL florist professional to be filled, leaving that order as a discounted order. Always pick a local florist in your own community... or deal directly with a REAL florist! We appreciate your business!
