    The true story? I think its only ‘part of the true story.’ There are organic florists too, and not all florists buy imported flowers. I understand this post is scare advertising, however it has a valid point that our industries should be aware of. Use of chemicals and transportation should be highlighted. My Q is How are these plants grown? Are they Organic? do they use eco friendly shipping? er..no..and - they only guarantee the product for 7 days, which most florists will do for flowers!

    Have you ever noticed how cut flowers don’t smell anymore? I can’t remember taking a big deep whiff of flowers in a vase and getting a decent smell. I’m a live plant person because I like to see with nose. Viva el stinky!
