While the flowers I ordered were as pictured and very fresh and lovely, I had also ordered mylar balloons to go with it. Because of the world helium shortage, they substituted chocolates for the gift - understandable. The problem came when the chocolates were possibly pulled from King Tuts tomb! They were dry, ashy and horrible. This was a gift and I was horrified to be the giver. Please don't substitute if you're going to send chocolates more than 100 years old.
