I wanted to send my 80 year old mother flowers for Mother's Day. While most woman like roses my mother loves carnations which is not the typical flower found in arrangements available online. I found an adorable arrangement online, at a very well known business, of maybe 12 carnations which were sculpted into 2 white dogs. $80 + $20+ in shipping. Seemed a bit much for 12 carnations held together with floral tape and pipe cleaners. So I checked the local florist, literally around the corner from my my mother's house in a very small town in Kansas, to see what they had to offer. 12 carnations, of colors I could not chose, stuffed in a $1.50 vase with baby's breath and a paper ribbon...$50.00 + $3.50 for delivery. Seriously? In my desperation I went online again searching for a solution when I stumbled across Globalrose.com. I had never heard of this company so was very leery to begin with, however, there it was (cue angels singing) a Mother's Day bouquet of 100 carnations for $50-ish and free delivery within the continental U.S. WHAT?!? I went through the order and payment process very easily and began the worrying process to find out what my mother would actually receive. As promised I received the FedEx tracking number the night before the delivery. I tracked the flowers and saw they had come from Columbia and were on the move to mom. Like clockwork they arrived! And to my surprise and my mother's delight the carnations were beautiful and healthy! Globalrose does not have a wide variety of flowers and do require a little elbow grease to trim and arrange the flowers (which my mother enjoyed to no end) but I cannot imagine a better experience or better price. I highly recommend this site and will keep it as my go-to from now on.
