Congratulations to the local florists for taking care of Mom this Mother’s Day. Hard work and happy customers!
We’re not sure the wire services fared as well this holiday season. Here are some Facebook highlights of customers comments for the big florist wire services for Mother’s Day:

Wow – amazing! Thanks for this!!
Thank you for posting these facebook pages of the wire services. As a florist for the past 39 years, I am embarrassed to be a member of Teleflora and will be canceling my membership. I have felt for the past few years that the wire services are a detriment to the integrity of the flower business by their promises to deliver the world ….same day delivery… no second choices and all for 29.99.Their frenzy to capture as many orders as possible without letting the customers know the limitations of the florists is the epitomy of greed. They undersell the product, over promise the expectations of the customer, and set the florist up for failure. It is time for florists to develop their own websites and educate the public to use a search engine to find “flowers delivered in ……” and urge them to talk directly to the local florist in the town where they want the flowers delivered. Wire services are no longer needed in the age of free long distance and the internet.
