I ordered a bird of paradise bouquet to celebrate the anniversary of my brother's death because he and his wife had shared a passion for birds throughout their marriage. I placed the order about a week ahead to be sure the bouquet would be delivered on the exact date. I believe that is why they exceeded my expectations with the quality of their handiwork. In my opinion, after reading other reviews, the fault may lie in expecting the impossible if we have not given the flower shop time to plan ahead and have the foliage they need in stock to create a masterpiece. What my sister-in-law received was simply breathtaking in my estimation. Thank you.
