I frequent about 10 different flowershops depending on where I'm shopping for the week. They're all around brooklyn, but 2 are in the city.
I have them listed in order from 1-10.. Parkway Fower Shop is second on my list, which is a great thing.
How does a flower shop top a list?
Well I take a few things into consideration
How long the flowers stay fresh, with or without hydration
How ""alive"" the flowers look throughout the week (some limp faster)
How much of a variation does the shop have.
For Parkway, the flowers are still fresh come week 2 with hydration, without water they'll last about a week.
The flowers keep their non-limped ""alive"" look for a good week and a half. which may not seem like much, but fresh flowers on the dinner table are a must for my family -- the fact that we have to change them three a month max when we frequent parkway is a big moneysaver.
As for variation, they have a great variety -- even silk ones for those not into real ones.
Their service is great. Fast, courteous, and their prices aren't the lowest, but are also not anywhere near the highest! lol.
#1 is orchid -- i've already reviewed them.
#3 is willinger flowers -- who i'm about to review.. the only reason their lower than orchid is because of the price issue & the fact that they begin to limp midway through week 2.
