I needed a special flower arrangement for my mom for Mother's Day. The usual florist which I have been doing business with for the past ten years said they no longer do Mother's Day any more. Being stunned from their stand not to do Mother's Day, I frantically called several florists until I came across the nice reviews I read here. All of them said they could not help me, but Rainforest said they could but would charge more for having extra delivery people on that day. I said my mother was worth it and I decided to go with them spending about $50 more than I would normally spend.
To my surprise, my mom called me early Sunday to say she received the flowers and she loved the composition of the piece. She just sounded really thrilled. I was so glad that she was happy.
About four days later, I got an email from her with a photo of the arrangement she had gotten and it showed every flower in full bloom. I was amazed how large the arrangement was since her arrangements in the past hadn't looked so full as this one.
She just couldn't stop thanking me for such a beautiful arrangement and went onto to say that all of her friends were jealous that her arrangement was prettier than what they received. She also told me that she was going to take more photos and make Christmas cards out of them. Boy that $50 difference in price was sure worth it. I later called Rainforest to thank them and asked what they used and discovered that they used imported tulips, fancy garden roses, peonies, lilacs, bearded iris, and a bunch of other things I can't recall, but emphasized that no carnations, baby's breath and carnations were used in the making of this bouquet.
Even under holiday stresses, this florist came through in shining colors!
