For those of us in the business, it's something we've known for years. Sending flowers is intended to elicit romantic feelings. When something does go wrong, well...the last paragraph of your post says it all. I'll be bookmarking this one.

However my message applies to the States, indeed the whole of the world. In these days of Internet you should NEVER use a third party to order flowers from. Not only do you run the risk of the problems you experienced but a large chunk of your order value will probably have been consumed along the way in the form of commissions/handling fees and other charges. Always find a local real bricks and morter flower shop who will not only deal with your order personally but make it as well. Check they are real (not some clever clogs hiding behind a false address) by asking relevant questions about the area - if they hum and hah then they are probably a call centre the other side of the country ... or world. That way not only will you probably get more for your bucks but it will arrive on time and you won't have to resort to alterntive methods of excitement.
