Bah, look up a local florist and call them. 1800 and FTD may take coupons, but they also take a commission from the order. Add that to the fact that it's a set arrangement of flowers and you're not getting the most impressive arrangement you can. The last few times I've ordered I've called, told the florist any ideas I might have (flowers the person would appreciate incorporated), given them a price I'd like to spend, and let them have at it. They'll pick what they around and you can go on your merry way.

FOR THE NEFFERS: SEXTO

Thanks for reminding me...I did a quick search on deals at FW, came across proflowers.com, they have some good deals.

ChefJoe nailed it. This is what I always do, and my local florist has never failed me.

have had problems with both big ones... it just depends on the actual local florist who does the delivery. So basically, recipient's area.
