I normally order flowers from you for birthdays and anniversaries for my family. But last month, I had the unhappy experience of ordering them for my mother’s funeral. It felt kind of strange ordering from a place that had normally given my family such joy. But your website helped me choose something that was very appropriate for the funeral service, and I can’t thank you enough for reminding me that there is beauty in everything.(Di L. , Visalia CA )

This is a strange story, I know, but I had to get flowers not just to an address, but to a specific location within that address. Worst of all, it wasn't marked anywhere. My cousin is a stand-up comedian, and the flowers for him were for his first steady gig in L.A. They had to be right off-stage behind the curtain so as he came off, the flowers would be presented to him in his hands. My God, I can't believe they were there at just the right time. I was nervous as a cockroach at a tap-dance contest, but everything worked out OK. My cousin killed the audience, got the flowers, and then called me almost out of breath and with tears in his eyes (so he said). Thanks so much.(Trish N. , Rochester MN )

Once again, the power of flowers shows that business really does get done by greasing the skids. I could not even get someone to handle my phone call for a prospective client until I sent flowers to the rep's receptionist. They do open doors. Thanks for helping me see exactly what I could get and where I could get it to.(Celeste L., Turlock CA )

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 )

Thanks for getting out the flowers to my grandma. I know she's surrounded by family at this time of sadness in her life, but I wish I could be there all the same. The flowers will have to do. And I thank you and FTD for being able to deliver them to such a remote location in Sicily.(Mira M., Youngstown OH )

Bet the house that I'll order from you again. I was so surprised that the quality of the arrangement for my anniversary was so strong. Maybe I won't even wait for our next anniversary!(Jackie L., Durham NC )

Alvo Nebraska Delivery

 

The worst part of ordering flowers online is the sinking feeling you get that nothing is going to be delivered as you want it to be. This is true for all gifts ordered online, I think. I’ve ordered flowers from you a couple of times now, and with the efficiency you have to handle orders, I’ve come to the conclusion that the hardest part of ordering from you is making a choice of what to send!(Stacy D. , Olympia WA )

My brother is being cared for in his home by several people, including myself and a few home care nurses. I almost needed the flowers that I sent as much as my brother did. I hate to admit that it's very stressful and also very heartbreaking to watch him deteriorate and then get better and then it starts all over again. The flowers were a true ray of sunshine.(Becky L. , Petaluma CA )

I admit I have a problem about this. I am out of control. Flowers sent to people as get well presents who have nothing but a common cold. In almost all cases, the flowers last much longer than the illness. But it's so easy and it makes everyone feel so much better, even when they're feeling miserable. This year's flu season wasn't quite as bad as last year, but still many people got flowers from me just because they weren't feeling well. It's just something I do that makes me feel good and helps them feel better. Thank you.(Andrea U. , Monessen PA )
