Glad to have this opportunity to express my opinion. The latest bunch of roses that I sent to the UK , I gather, lasted only 2 days. I've just visited the UK and found out from my sister that most of the flowers I have sent over the years have been of a poor quality and never lasted very long. Of course my relatives didn't like to tell me this but this last gift was the worst, they said, and told me to please not to worry sending any more flowers. Very disappointing. Also disappointing was the fact that often the flowers are delivered earlier than asked for which takes away the enjoyment when a special day arrives - especially if the flowers are drooping by then!
