Precious Petals Florist

Well how can I give them 7 stars. This is how it all started, it was the day before Valentines, I live over 5,000 miles away, I wanted something special.
Sure I could go to interflora and pick from a menu of pictures like a cheap Chinese restaurant or I could enlist the help of a local florist with local knowledge and the design skills to build something out of this world.
Knowing that the time zone difference was going to be a problem, it was going to have to be arranged by e-​mail. There would be no pictures to look it, it would be a one off. Could it be done?
My requirements were simple, I wanted something special, not a dozen red roses. I wanted lots of different colors, lots of different textures, an amazing aroma, and still for it to still shout «Happy Valentines, will you be mine, because no-​one could adore you more» all over it. I also wanted different life expectancies on the flowers so that didn’t all die at once.
Geraldine e-​mailed me back confirming my budget and a list of different flowers, foliage, their purpose and how they would meet my requirements. I said it sounded great and she let me know that I would need to pay before the flowers left the store and wording for a card.
While in my office the afternoon of the 13^th I realized that I had forgotten to pay and needed to do it over the phone before it was too late in the UK. I called, it was 11:30pm in the UK. Geraldine was still at her shop exhausted but professional. Took my payment, got me a vase I threw in as a request at the last minute, I e-​mailed her the wording for the card and I waited in anticipation.
Well, lets just say the results were amazing. Such a beautiful display and such attention to detail with hidden love hearts within the foliage, lots of special touches, enough roses to show but not overdo it. From what I hear everyone else was jealous and everyone who has seen them raves about them. I have seen pictures and I’m amazed, so much so that I am creating the first entry on Unilocal for Geraldine as this is a talent to be used.
Thinking back to Interflora, they serve a purpose but I felt that doing this was like having my own personal chef instead of ordering the number 6 meal at McDonalds. You know where all my flowers are coming from from now onwards.
