Just as you want your groceries to be fresh, you
should also expect your flowers to be. Unfortunately, flowers do not have a
"best before" date stamped on them. There is virtually no way of knowing just
how fresh they are, or how long you can expect your flowers to last.
Essentially the typical supply chain works likes this... At the end of a flower
growers day, all previously cut flowers that are not sold directly to consumers
like yourself (Direct from the Grower), are then shipped to auctions or
wholesalers throughout Canada and the United States. These are in turn sold at
a discount to florists who stock them as inventory in their coolers until they
can be sold to consumers. Therefore, through the traditional supply channels,
consumers often get a three to five day old bouquet.
Because we cut our flowers every day of the year, we don't have to maintain a
"consumer ready" inventory. By purchasing your flowers direct from the
greenhouse grower, you receive only the freshest possible product, guaranteed.
The flowers you receive from our growers have been harvested within the past 24
hours, and will mature to magnificent full blooms for maximum enjoyment.
