A very kind gesture indeed, and I appreciate the thought.\n\nThe flowers arrived fine, with blooming roses and closed lily buds. By the time the lilies bloomed, the roses have wilted. These flowers lasted less than a week, and were not fresh or healthy. Some of the lilies didn't bloom at all. The bouquet came with a little note with my friend's message.\n\nWhat prompted me to write this review was the terrible flowers and this florist's business card which they included with my friend's card. A heartful message was spoiled when a business takes the opportunity to inappropriately advertise themselves."^^ . "0"^^ . . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
