never buy crap off the shelf at some ftd scam franchise. it will contain a trite boquet of roses and daisies. worse than trite, it’s a rip off. whenever i need flowers for one of my honeys, i call M.F.(lolz), tell them how much i’m willing to spend, what colours to(or not to) use, and when i’ll be picking up. they are always on time and they make a great bouquet. every time i have given these out, i have received comments/text messages 3 – 5 days later informing me how nice they look and smell. unfortunately, calgary isn’t mexico city where $ 0.15 gets you a dozen fresh alcatrazes. comparatively speaking, i find the value to be very good. $ 40 gets a very nice huge bouquet of un-bloomed flowers(i know there’s a word better for ‘un-bloomed’ out there). a bouquet of flowers from Marlow is the perfect way to re-build the bridge between you and your girlfriend the morning after you get physically carried out of broken city by four hipster bouncers… along with breakfast, an apology, and a promise never to drink… for five days OR two dates.
