I decided to be audacious this year and send my boyfriend, who is in Peru with his family for the moment, a series of flower bouquets. One a day for a week until his birthday. The reason it was so audacious is that his family is in the florist business and use FTD every day. I’m not sure if they were sending the flowers to themselves down there, but the gesture has warmed them to me (finally), and I’ll be seeing Gabriel very soon. Thank you very much for your service.(Lucy I., Fayetteville AR )

Chicago Illinois Offices

 

Thank you for being a company of integrity and keeping your word. I don't like to buy things off the Internet. Really I do it only when I have to. Well, now I find that I had to, so I looked you up, found out how easy it was to use and I ordered something for my brother, who's "finding himself" or something in Anchorage, AK. It's good that at least he has e-mail, because I heard about how nice the plant makes his place look within a couple of minutes of him receiving it.(Fran K. , Florence SC )

My mother loves fussing over flower arrangements and so I surprised her with a flower delivery from you last week the first bunch of flowers that she hasn't rearranged!(Cary Black, Indianopolis IN )

My father died after a long bout with cancer. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to make any sort of arrangements, so my husband did most of them. Looking back, I could see that he was upset also, and he’s not exactly the arbiter of taste that he thinks he is when he’s in the right frame of mind. So when the flowers arrived for the funeral, I was struck by how understated and tasteful they were, entirely appropriate for the occasion. Thanks for being a guiding light to him.(Jill L., Vero Beach FL )

There's something about giving flowers that makes it worthwhile to be friends with people. That sounded strange. But I guess in a way it's true. I was struck by this sentiment when I looked at how your website was organized. There are many different types of arrangements and many different arrangements within those types. It got me to thinking about how people react to flowers and how they react to the people who send them. I think you've tapped into something here, about how people react to flowers and in what context they receive them probably affects how they are received. Not good vs. bad, but professional vs. romantic. That kind of thing. I think you are doing a great service by causing people to think about these things.(Jessica O., Florence AL )

Chicago Illinois Hospitals

 

I'd like to think that I was making my daughter happy when I sent flowers to her on her first day at college, but I really suspected that she was embarrassed by her mother in front of her dorm-mates. It was a little of both, I guess. She called to say that she really enjoyed them, but she asked if it was OK that she told everyone they were from her boyfriend. *sigh* There's only so much a mother can do. (Margo E., Holland MI )

The White Roses and Lilies arrangement is gorgeous. My mother loved it when I sent it to her for Mother's Day and I loved it when she sent it back to me for my birthday. What a pair of pale flower lovers we are!(Olivia R., Beloit WI )

Chicago Illinois Funeral Homes

 

We had a combination Christmas and Chanukka this year, so we had arrangements of blue and white flowers intermixed with arrangements of red and green flowers, just like our family. It was kind of strange, but everyone enjoyed the symbolism of it and it sparked a lot of intense and productive conversation. I'd like to thank you for making it possible.(Wendy R. , Concord CA )
