My mother has just discovered the Internet and sent his sister in County Sligo, Ireland two lovely flower bouquets for her birthday and Christmas. Sending flowers over such a distance is a miracle, and my father and I would like to thank you all.(Allanah Kerry, Los Angeles CA )

Though I am far away from my friends, it's nice to know that I can let them know I am thinking about them in a time of sadness and loss. Flowers are so much more tactile and have more substance than cards or electronic messages, like they are stand-ins for you. It's something they can move around and focus on in order to get the kind of feeling that I hope I would provide were I there. I'm glad that you can help me express my sympathy for the family in this way and that I can do it much more easily than if I were to go there myself. That sounds horrible, I suppose, but my feeling is that it does no one any good if I were to go there for just a gesture when I can send something in my stead. (Jenny K., Escuintla )

I'm glad I found a florist who is able to handle large orders. I've been using you for sending flowers here and there for various occasions, but I recently got swindled into the job of providing the flowers at a wedding. It was hectic, but with your help we got it done, which is more than I can say for the caterers.(Harriet S. , Bethlehem PA )

Arthur Illinois Business

 

I did some comparative shopping before I bought any flowers. It was my mother's birthday, so they had to be perfect. In my research, I came to the conclusion that your service is the best. I wanted you to know that I didn't just "come across" your site or your company randomly. I looked at all the FTD affiliates, all the choices I could have made. But I made an informed choice to order your flowers for my mother because yours had the best selection at the best prices. I'm very glad I used you, and so is my mother. (Gloria N. , Merced CA )

In the midst of my flaky family (I include myself), you are a rock of stability. I won't exactly say that you are the only stable thing in our family, but you can always be counted on to deliver great flowers at good occasions.(Betsy T., St. Augustine FL )

Arthur Illinois Cemetery

 

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V. , Nagoya , Japan)
