I myself am a florist in another city so I know what to charge for retail prices on flowers. I sent my mother flowers for her birthday and picked the $50 designers choice. Unless the price of carnations in Scottsdale has skyrocketed, this arrangement was a sad, sad value for my money. What self respecting florist even still uses carnations? The arrangement was tied with a ribbon around the cheap, Chinese-made vase- in a knot, no bow, jagged ribbon edges. If you are going to be cheap, at least pay attention to detail. What happened Cactus Flowers? They are obviously under new ownership as this is no longer the Cactus Flower of their glory days.
