My wife was so happy when these lily's arrived at our doorstep a few days before her birthday. Although the buds had not opened yet, she understood that the wait would be worth it. Sure enough, as each day passed, one flower after the other opened emitting their glorious aroma and beauty. I ordered the flowers on a Monday and they arrived to our home in Toronto on Wednesday. Today, it's been a whole week and the flowers are still beautiful. They haven't wilted or browned at all and I fully expect another 5-7 days of enjoyment before they die down. The champagne and the cake were of excellent quality and they have exceeded my expectations. The thymes gift hamper was good addition to this already amazing gift.
