There's a huge difference in the quality of flowers that are available. Like Cars, hobbies, and homes, flowers have different levels of quality that you can buy. For example, Carnations are available from Standard ( the least expensive), Fancy, Select, Super Select etc. The prices increase as the level of quality increases. Same as everything else. You can see the quality in our flowers. The sharp, vibrant colors. That's quality. We have weekly standing flower orders that we receive fresh in our shop every Tuesday. Our distributor works with only the finest farms in South America and Holland. The flowers you see in supermarkets, home improvements stores etc, are not the same quality that we use in our designs. It's like comparing a Rolls Royce and a Ford. It's not the same. There's a lot of care, handling and TLC that goes into the flower processing.Once we receive our shipment of flowers, they are inspected and checked for quality. The flowers are unpacked, sorted, cleaned, cut and displayed in tepid water treated with flower food, before going in the fridge. We take great pride and care in our business and in our industry. We thrive in a difficult industry because of our commitment to quality, thoughtful empathetic employees and ownership.
