Almost never happens in real life! But in this case it's true.

When you order from a local florist you get better, fresher product faster. You are also helping your community.

When you order from a local florist your money goes to the people that are actually making your flowers. If you order from an order gatherer the odds are they would actually get a much smaller percentage. And if you are used to ordering from drop-shippers (the kind that send flowers overnight via Fedex or UPS) you will enjoy the convenience of same day delivery and be shocked at how much fresher and more attractively arranged your flowers arrive.

Finally - your money stays in the community where it benefits everyone including you.
