I hosted a Galentine's party where we made take home floral bouquets and centerpieces. The flowers arrived on Wednesday 2/11 in a huge box and unfortunately had to sit on the porch in the Texas sun for a few hours. When I was able to get them unboxed they were BEAUTIFUL and secure in plastic wrap. I used the vase provided, added water and set them in the fridge until the party, I did not use the flower food provided. When my party rolled around on Friday 2/13 I removed the flowers from the fridge 2 hours before the party but left them in the water. They were PERFECT, very minimal leaves/petals fell off. The flowers lasted until last Wednesday 2/25. They probably would have lasted longer had I changed the water more frequently. They were affordable, beautiful assorted colors and lasted far longer than expected! 10/10 would recommend and purchase again.

So, I just ordered my third bouquet. First were the Carnations ; So when they say they come as buds they mean it. And I am glad they do, because they start blooming the second they hit the sunshine. Along as you follow the directions for cut flowers and keep up with them by cutting off the bottoms, changing the water and you will enjoy these beauties like we have for well over two weeks:) I wanted to make sure this wasn’t a fluke so I ordered the 12 long stemmed roses. They too, with regular snipping of stems and water changes, lasted over two weeks of beautiful roses !!!! I look forward to this next batch headed our way! Will post my review for that bunch ! Overall a 5 star winner in my book !!!

These arrived looking pretty sorry for themselves in the pic. A few battered buds fell off, but after a day in water the pic shows how they started to bloom. It's now nine days later and they are still looking amazing and fresh. I expect them to last more than two weeks and will come back to edit my review if they do! Very happy with these flowers! 4/19 UPDATE: The flowers arrived 3/31, and I have added another pic to show what they look like today, almost three weeks later. Just keep them fed and fresh water in a cooler room, and they will do great. I live in VT, and I would not order these in summer or winter months as shipping will obviously affect them. Late March to early May, and early October to early December is all I would risk. Why expect shipped flowers to survive anything else?

I ordered these for myself and I started out with the carnations which are like I believe the easiest flowers to take care of. They came with two bags of food. I used one bag to start off with and when the box came I made sure to run the flowers under cold water before I unbundled them and only the stems. I trimmed off any of the leaves that were going to be in the vase because they will get funky and turn your water bad. It is now the 14th and I will show a picture of what they look like now. Everyday I would check the water and add fresh water so I would top them off. Last night I did drain off the water completely and use the second packet of plant food. If you take care of them they will stay looking gorgeous.

I have purchased these mini carnations two times and have never been disappointed. They come in a long box so the stems are long and straight. The bouquet is secured within the box and wrapped in stiff plastic. They come as buds that fully open in a few days. They last several weeks too. It was 98° in California when it was delivered, so the box and contents were warm. I was surprised though that they weren't wilted. I highly recommend these beautiful carnations and will continue to buy them to brighten my home.

These were absolutely gorgeous and stayed fresh for a very long time. I was so happy with these. They were sent not fully bloomed and I think that was perfect for making them last for weeks. I loved them!

The flowers that I sent to our dear friends are beautiful. However, the personalized card was not with the flowers. Instead, a generic card was included. It was not until I called them a few days later that they realized the flowers were from us.

These were a gift for a family member who had surgery. They loved them and said how well they have held up. Lasted for two weeks.
