Your Grandmother could be like my wife. She would not have said anything about quality but I was unhappy right away. It could be they got left out in the cold to long from the looks of them. Guys I work with were paying 40-70 bux at lunch today scramblin for thier lives so I feel this was potentially a good deal if the quality had been there. We'l see how customer service handles the situation.
As for the price they gotta make money somehow. I know you can get stuff wholesale for less, but since I don't have the florist connection going on I'll have to get gouged. So be it.
