WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE FLOWERS WHEN THEY REPRESENT NOTHING BUT DECAY?
Flowers are a nice gesture but flowers are VERY EXPENSIVE when ordered from a florist %26amp; delivered… They don’t last long… I have more vases then I know what to do with%26amp; end up giving them to GoodWill to join their collection of cheap “free” vases that come with flowers…
I find it depressing how the flowers are meant as a good thing but then they, like everything else, begins to decay, %26amp; end up rotten %26amp; in the trash… Last year on my b-day I got THREE DELIVERIES OF FLOWERS! I had no where to put them all %26amp; had to give them away to neighbors!
This year I only got 1 (thank god) but it doesn’t even have anything I can dry to use in an arrangement. They are all just ‘throw-out’ flowers. VERY EXPENSIVE ‘throw-out’ flowers
I would MUCH rather have some kind of plant that I can care for %26amp; keep for more then a week!
Why do people continue to get me flowers for my birthday when I keep telling them I hate getting flowers?
I am definitely laughing right now! Not at you, but with you. Every year I get clothes from people, and every year nothing fits. I tell them please don't buy me clothes, nothing EVER fits. But what do you think happens-you got it-CLOTHES! The only difference between me and you is my cat doesn't eat my clothes.
Reply:People do that too me too...I hate it. What the hell can I do with flowers. How about a grocery certificate so I can gorge my depressing self in ice cream. People are just too lazy to be personal anymore.
Reply:You've gone really into this %26amp; perhaps they can't be bothered to be so deep!
Reply:I feel the same way. Flowers are expensive and they die quickly. I feel they're a waste of money. I'd rather have a plant or a gift certificate.
Reply:Are you telling them collectively, as a group, or individually? As a group, they may not be listening. Tell each one, and tell them the options. Cash or gift certificates. If they cooperate, send them a thank you note. If they send flowers anyway, give them away, and let them know you did. Tell them you'd rather have NOTHING than flowers, thank you very much.
Reply:Why? Because they want someone to send THEM flowers! They don't listen to you either. Make a "wish list/gift list" and email to everyone. Have things on it that are in many different price ranges. Tell everyone that you just found out your are allergic to flowers and can't have any in your house so you wanted to help everyone with gift ideas! Okay, I know that is a big fib, but you need to take drastic steps! Make sure you have lots of ideas on the list and put in there that, when in doubt, you LOVE gift cards to your fav stores. Hopefully, you will get some different gifts next year!
Reply:no theyre not listening, but you cant tell people what to give you unless they ASK, try to enjoy the flowers.
Reply:to bug you . just start saying you hate getting $$$ and there ya go your bank account will starrt to grow as your gifts get smaller

How do I send flowers in Colombia?
There is someone in Medellin Colombia I'd like to send flowers too. All my google searches are showing me Colombian flowers I can buy here in the US. Anyone know of local places in Medellin I can buy flowers using my credit card and have them delivered to someone there? I don't think the currency makes a difference with the card.
How do I send flowers in Colombia?
I would try daflores. They are on time, the flowers are nice. (Not cheap, but nice) The boxed ones are spectacular. The 100 bud boquet wasnt that impressive.
http://www.daflores.com/products/best_se...
I use them regularly to send flowers to fam. in Colombiia.
Reply:Send poppies. They know what to do with them there.
Reply:If the ditance is a problem then you can buy them locally in a flower shop near where you are delivering them (via website or phone) and this will be cheaper as you don't need to spend a lot of monry on sending them, even if you need to pay extra for the currency change.

Does anyone know of a Florist in Oakland County Michigan that will deliver one or two flowers at a time?
Well, I disagree with the previous answerer. I think that a smaller florist might well do that for you.
Here's the catch, they're going to charge you for each delivery. So if you want to have 1 dozen roses, delivered one-at-a-time, you'll pay 12 delivery charges, let's say $10 each. Voila, for $120, I think almost any florist will do that for you. Do you want to pay that much for flowers to be delivered, plus the actual flowers?
Just describe what you want done, they'll do it, if you're willing to pay. You can try English Gardens in West Bloomfield, Blossoms in Birmingham either of them are larger florist-shops and should be able to do it.
In a worst-case scenario, call a few florists and have them each deliver to the recipient, that'll be a surprise too.
I hope that this helps
Good luck

What type of flowers would be appropriate to deliver to the spouse of a retiring military member?
I am in charge of planning a retirement ceremony for several Air Force NCOs with 20+ years.
What type of flowers would be appropriate to deliver to the spouse of a retiring military member?
Roses are always appropriate. Red ones are traditional, but they represent love. Yellow ones are for friendship. White means purity. But I don't think anyone pays attention to the color meanings anymore. Red roses are always safe. Or you can get a really nice mixed bouquet of seasonal flowers. For that, you can ask the florist for a recommendation based on your budget.
Reply:Roses can be misinterpreted and therefore offensive. Seasonal flowers have the advantage of being exactly that seasonal - there is no hidden meaning to be found. A florist with some experience should be capable of showing you multiple options that are appropriate. Report It
Reply:Go with seasonal flowers of the area. Talk with a local florist and tell them the amount you want to spend per bouquet. Anything between 80 and 100 USD should be fine.
Reply:roses (I like yellow)
Reply:Arabellas
Reply:How lovely! Personally, I'd want something vibrant and enormous. LOL!
I would ask your local florist what they recommend, as some flowers are available seasonally. If the florist is near a base, he/she may have experience making an arrangement for this particular situation. Good luck!
Reply:ask a florist...they will have good ideas for the season. Yellow roses maybe.

Is it okay to carry flowers into a funeral home instead of delivering them?
My Aunt died and she will not have that many flowers at her funeral. I feel bad because I cannot afford the $50 - 150 that flowers cost from FTD florists. I was wondering if I could carry them in a bag and place them in the office when you first walk in. That way the funeral home would place them in the room where my aunt is. I am embarassed at the thought, however I cannot afford to send flowers. Am I better off going empty handed? Also to add, My aunt lives in a very low populated area and I dont think she will have many flowers. I would love to see a few sent flowers around her, especially for my cousin's sake.

yes carrying them would be fine. who cares how they get there as long as it get there. Sorry about ur Aunt
Reply:I think that carrying flowers in will be fine. It's the thought that counts, and you obviously care a lot.
Reply:Some people don't want flowers at the funeral anymore. The flowers are left at the graveside and they just wither away and die.
As a rule you don't bring flowers to a funeral. What you can do is bring a plant to your aunts home for her family. A plant will live forever...much longer than flowers at the funeral.
I'm sorry for your lose.
Reply:I have seen wealthy people that can afford to send flowers carry them in. Its not that big of a deal on how it gets there. Its the though of that its there.
You could take it early in the day to the funeral home when there are not a lot of people and give it to the office and then they could place as well.
A potted plant lasts alot longer than flowers. Or u can get a plant and flower mixture.
Reply:yes it is
Reply:don't ever be ashamed of any gift that comes from the heart and soul. don't go empty handed. this is something that you want to give to your aunt. never be ashamed of any gift -- big or small - just do it with love and it's the biggest gift on the face of the earth to the person you are doing it for. people worry too much on what others think. you are not trying to please them. this is something you are to doing to give thanks to your aunt. my hat goes off to you. i think it's beautiful. God Bless YOU!
Reply:that's a wonderful idea. i just see one thing wrong with what you want to do.i don't think you need to place them in the office.you can walk them up to her casket and place them at the closed end of it.i have done this in the past and see nothing wrong with it at all. and you don't need to tell anyone it was because you could not afford to have them sent, if you are asked {and i doubt that you would be} just say that you wanted to do one last thing for her.one more thing, don't bring them in a bag, carry them.PS. sorry about your aunt
