Common-Sense is Basic to Flower Design Value and Customer Service

VALUE..VALUE Common sense can be a commodity as precious in the retail service sector as flowers are at the heart of all special occasions. Common sense value means staff are determined to resolve a tight schedule or save a party with delightful decorations that no one would guess to be an after-thought. In responding to that frantic call for a special gift,Flowers Unlimited is pleased to be able to offer a last minute possibility for a wonderful decor or a custom gift by one phone call to us.

But flowers are an obvious solution, partly because they are beyond the ordinary, partly for the color and scent and partly because of their fragility. Like fine wine, caviar, chocolates, they are to be savoured for their exquisite beauty all the moreso because they are short-lived. But comparatively speaking, the flowers offer the most common sense value.

Like people,flowers come in all types and grades. At auction, there are many reasons why flowers are sold as grade two or three: varied stem-length, weak stems, mold, odd colours for the season. Usually green grocers buy lesser grades--so that's why they cost less there! And like people, flowers in a bouquet don't all die at the same time. If they do, they were mishandled between grower and customer, the vase contained bacteria, or, you cut those roses with the scissors!

But flowers of the best quality will be enjoyed for seven to 14 days or more,...and that fancy coffee bought down the street will be gone in the next 15 minutes...if it isn't left in my flower box on the way by.

Whatever it takes to get you what you need...

Our floral work has graced tables for royalty, presidents and premiers and we have worked with many film production houses over the years, and celebrities have dropped by to get their mistletoe or wait while we box roses for an anniversary. A Hollywood film production even leased our lattice and ivy premises two summers ago for a Lou Gossett Jr. movie shoot, forInspectors 2.

And because we are an owner-operated business, we will do whatever it takes to get you what you need...even the time we bought the golf jacket to go with the flowers for Hollywood's top-rated comedy star;or a quick response to the concierge at the Waterfront Hotel for a movie star's request for purple roses. Discretion is a given.

For pricing value, we can't be beat for grade one flowers purchased at auction, pretreated to guarantee freshness and long life and designed or gift-wrapped with attention to detail. For those who don't know us yet, our style leans to caspia or wax flower and an interesting mix of greens rather than baby's breath with roses-- unless it is a specific request. Mostly we're known for not using leather leaf or asparagus fern with our roses which can drip all over the table. We use imported greens like mrytle, willow eucalyptus or pitt.Or tropicals. We've held our price at $69.95/dozen for several years with the lushness of mixed greens and something inspiring like prunus or japonica blossom in season or a surprise like an anthurium leaf front and center.

COMMON SENSE IN CREATING YOUR GIFT....Gourmet edible gifts can be ordered from $75 and we will shop for you taking into account any food allergies or hospital dietary stipulations. Gifts are designed, taking into account the fun found in a surprise, attention paid to colour and placement. NEVER just a pile of apples and oranges in the bottom of a basket.Common sense value.

The message is the reason for the gift; legibility and accurate spelling, please....

PROFESSIONALISM.... Arriving at the floral business 15 years ago from a background in journalism and editing, you can be sure I have my finger on the multiple pulses in the life of small business .... from industry trends right down to the message on the card. Accuracy in spelling and legible handwriting is a given. Common sense value.
