Philip’s Flowers

I wanted to grab some affordable flowers and saw the sign in front of their store advertising roses for $ 15 a dozen. After so many on-​line sites disappointed me, I figured it was worth giving this local spot a try. I went in on a Wednesday and was told their «sale» flowers came in every weekend and was shown what was still in stock. I was impressed with the beauty of the red roses and the velvet appearance the pedals had and selected a bunch. I was told the bunch had 2 dozen blooms which they could separate and give me one dozed or I could take the two dozen for $ 25. At that price I risked that they would die the next day and bought the two dozen.
The florist wrapped them for me, gave me the standard cut flower food and gave me pointers on how/​where/​what to cut once I got them home. I did as told (super easy to do) and arranged the flowers into 3 separate vases for me to give 1 to my wife, 1 to my daughter and 1 for my son to give to his mom (I had 2 dozen — why not!). It’s now Monday and the blooms are all looking great! No wilting, no foul smelling water, no unopened roses. To have such flowers as a sale item was pretty impressive. I encourage you to ask questions as you look around the store as the florist that worked with me was very willing to answer and offer advice that was asked for, but they did not just volunteer information. I was able to get a happy wife, daughter and son for $ 25. How do you not love that?
