A Different Kind of Florist 11/1/2012

My first encounter with this company was when I placed my first order with them for my sweet heart's Valentine's arrangement. It seemed a but pricey but I was told that it was worth the extra dollars. more

Best Service and Flowers for Brides 6/9/2011

When planning your wedding far away over the internet, it is nice to know that a place like Rainforest exists. We had specific flowers and looks and when I first came across Rainforest, I was rather surprised that they were so accommodating to make our wedding a special day. I had originally contacted several florists by email and I must admit that Rainforest answered my email with a detailed response first. But just the way the email was written with details I had not considered made their services invaluable. I eventually called Michael, which I believe is their head designer and he helped me with details of our wedding plans to include a special Hawaiian presentation of leis wrapped in special leaves. We also had our hair done up with his special hair creations and wedding bouquets of colors and flowers I have never seen before. I had read reviews of Hemmingway, Yvonne and Su-V but none of them ever returned my email so I imagine they were just too busy. Our wedding day was a glorious day and we had our ceremony and reception at the Halekulani Hotel which made the combination of Michael's flowers and the venue a wonderful celebration of matrimony. I highly recommend Rainforest for your wedding day even if you're half way around the world. more

Unmatched Quality and Customer Service 3/24/2011

I just had to write and boast about this AMAZING little florist. I have lived in Honolulu for about five years and have never been so thrilled in receiving and ordering flowers until now. First of all, this all started when I was in the hospital undergoing a surgical procedure when I received three arrangements. One from Watanabe Florist, one from Fujikami Florist and one from Rainforest. The two I received from Fujikami and Watanabe florist kind of resembled each other. I just assumed it was typical of what Japanese styled arrangements would look like. There were some nice flowers and sticks and an interesting way of putting them together. The one from Rainforest which stood out because the name was so intriguing. I was amazed at the variety and colors of their flowers. Everything from the graphics on the card enclosure to the vase and how it was put together made this arrangement a stand out. My best friend ordered this for me and I called her first to thank her for the beautiful flowers. She was so thrilled that I liked it. I told her that I had placed this one on my table next to me and the other two were on the floor of the hospital. The flowers my mother sent me was from Fujikami Florist. The one from Watanabe Florist was from my mother in law. By the third day, these were already on their last leg. The Rainforest arrangement drank and drank water so the nurse helped me water them and the staff at Kapiolani Medical was very helpful in keeping my flowers fresh. One nurse said that Rainforest was the best florist on the island. And looking at the flowers I believe it. By the time I checked out, I only took the Rainforest flowers with me as the two others were dead and falling apart. The flowers from Rainforest lasted for well over three weeks and I still was amazed how much water they drank each day. A strange coincidence occurred about a year later. The friend that sent me the Rainforest arrangement had to go to the hospital for a similar procedure. So I wanted to send her an arrangement from Rainforest too. After talking with Michael at Rainforest. He said that a nice arrangement can be sent for $85 and I told him that I was the lucky recipient of an arrangement about the same time a year ago and that must have cost the sender at least a $100. But he assured me that an $85 would work for a hospital room and it will be nice to receive. I also learned that the flowers my mother and mother in law sent were all in the 100 plus price range. I visited my friend in the hospital and was amazed at how beautiful the flowers I sent looked. It was entirely different in colors that I expressed that my friend would like. It reminded me when I received mine last year and how wonderful it made me feel. She also received an arrangement from Watanabe and it still looked similar to the one I had received the last time I was here. Again on the floor. I told her my story and we had a good laugh. She said she took a photo of the arrangement and made it into her screen saver. I wish I had done the same thing. I am recommending Rainforest for anyone who don't know what to order when seeking a florist. They just outdone themselves and made me look good. They are conscientious about their work and they make both the sender and the recipient happy with their excellent service and quality. One try and you'll be pleased with the service they will do for you. edit: I just want to add that Michael (owner) has helped me out every time I call with utmost attention to detail and has always kept me in the know about every detail through execution. I have recommended many clients to Rainforest and will continue to do so because he knows his stuff and can always recommend wonderful solutions to any situations I am in and making sometimes sad occasions turn out wonderful for me and the receiver. The very best of the best! more

Unmatched Quality and Friendly Service 2/25/2011

I rarely give five stars for anything since so many places can make improvements. But I have come to like this business for their integrity and quality. The few arrangements I have received from this place has been just marvelous. No two flowers alike. I love their sense of style, their combinations of flowers, colors and just an overall well done bouquet. Their prices are fair and what service! I don't believe what they can do for a minimum price of $85. I know their prices will eventually increase because of the unmatched quality and amazing service. One order will make you switch ships to this florist as your regular. I was so curious about this business that I dropped by and saw that it wasn't really a large operation and they had many colorful and beautiful arrangements all ready to be delivered. Some were just grand and outstanding. I need to tell more people about this best kept secret. I have learned that they are environmental conscious and Earth-friendly. A great website too! more

Absolutely Beautiful! 10/12/2010

I had to order some flowers to bowl some clients over that was vacationing in Hawaii. I looked up in City Search and came across this florist with 20 grand reviews. So I started to investigate it. I was amazed at how helpful and creative the sales person was. He gave me several options and even pointed me to their website, by the way, is beautiful and very different from so many florist websites I've seen. I told the man that I will get back to them and he was polite and thanked me for checking them out. I also called Watanabe Florist as I've seen their banners everywhere and they also seem to have a lot of good reviews. The guy on the phone told me what I should get. I wasn't thrilled with their selection of flowers and decided to go with something else. The guy said that I was making a big mistake and should follow his advice. I tried to tell him that the person who these flowers were for was for a designer dress store and that the girl who owned it started as a florist. I finally had to end this call to him and said I'll call back. He was very rude saying that they were so busy and if I called back it may not be possible for them to accommodate my order. So I thanked him and moved on. Recalling how nice the guy at Rainforest was, I decided to take a chance and see for myself. I called back and a different guy answered also being helpful and friendly he said it may be best if we leave it to the designer and at this point, I said let's do it! My friend in Hawaii called me and was thrilled with her flowers and said that Rainforest was the choice florist in Hawaii and only the best arrangements come from there. She was thrilled that three of her arrangements came from Rainforest and all were unique and different, nothing repeated itself in any of the pieces. I also received an image of the flowers delivered to my friends from Rainforest as well as a receipt and it was so beautiful, I am using it as a screen saver on my laptop. I give this place two thumbs up for customer service and prompt service with no rude back-talk. Their website is very interesting too! Addendum June 13, 2011 I would like to add that they have been very helpful in suggesting restaurants and have worked well with them in making a surprise birthday party a success. I have had a friend visit and was dumbfounded to locate a venue for a secretive surprise birthday party. Mike at Rainforest suggested a very nice place for our group and worked out all the details with a lei, arrangements and even selecting something based on the birthday girl's astrological signs. The event was a success and everyone was pleased! more

Recommended for the BEST Customer Service and beautiful work 10/4/2010

I could not believe how friendly and helpful any business could be than the folks at Rainforest. The man on the phone guided me through descriptions of flower designs that I could envision. He made some points clear regarding local customs and traditions that I was not aware of and pointed me in the right direction. What made this transaction very special was that he confirmed the delivery information with time and who signed for the flowers, along with the image of the arrangement and emailed receipt of my order. There was no guess work and the excited and happy email from my friend coincided with the image and email confirmation from the Rainforest. So we both enjoyed seeing the flowers and I knew they were delivered by having the emailed confirmation. I would like everyone to try these great folks. It sure made my day and my friend's day as well. more

Knowledeble and Friendly Service 6/10/2010

I have used another florist for the past five years and while the recipient liked her flowers, I didn't believe anyone else could make a difference. A friend had referred me to Rainforest several times and I didn't really paid much attention until a co-worker said she had just had flowers from Rainforest sent to her and how it really lifted her spirits like no other flower arrangement could. So I tried them. What I was surprised was their effort and professional mannerism in taking my order. The order taker was concise and I knew what I would be getting and what surprised me was their effort in sending me a photo of the arrangement so I could see what she was getting. Most florists use a standard purchased image that wasn't even made at the store. The flower image I received was the actual image (confirmed from a happy recipient and sent photos herself to me) of the arrangement. So this made me post this comment for this wonderful florist. Another nice thing I liked about this store is that the price you re quoted is the exact charge that was shown on my credit card statement. No hidden fees and charges. I used to send $75 arrangements and having shown $98.88 on my statements by other florists just didn't sit well with me. Rainforest quoted me $85 and that was what I paid for. Now that alone is worth going there for! to them Pros: Responds quickly and professionally Cons: Wish they could be open on Sundays more

My Mother Thanks Rainforest! 5/17/2010

Just want to add to this shop's unique approach to floral design. And what a lovely disply of flowers that lasts and lasts! I tried to call various shop mid-week prior to Mother's Day: Watanabe said no guarantee that it could get there before Mother's Day, Florist Grand laughed in my face, and Fujikami tried to sell me a gourmet gift basket costing somewhere near $200. I finally called Rainforest because the name sounded interesting. After reading the many positive reviews, I said I'd try one last time. The guy on the phone was very helpful and offered several suggestions. I was thinking of a deep dark red and dark pink. He said he could make a dark red rose and pink peony. That sounded nice so I decided on a nice big one. The morning on Saturday before Mother's Day, I got a pleasant call from my mom with excitement in her voice so I was thrilled. The roses were very dark ruby red and the peonies a soft bubble gum pink. I got a call on Tuesday that her peonies were fully opened and how she was enjoying her bouquet. Then another call just on Friday telling me tht her roses were as large as red delicious apples, and as dark. And just today she said that some of the roses have started to fade, but still large and fully opened. She said that her arrangement drank water like she had never seen before. Please know that I have given her flowers many times but she has never gave me a play by play report on how it was doing. I will keep this number and call again later for her birthday and possibly their anniversary. This makes my job easier than trying to find a gift certificate she would use or a gift that stays wrapped forever. Pros: Excellent service more

Thank You Rainforest for a Job Well Done! 5/15/2010

I had ordered my mother some flowers and after reading so many positive reviews about this store, I had to give it a try. My first impression was that this was a designer store with a designer name. But after talking about the flower expertise with the owner of the store, I felt reassured that I was making a wise investment. The guy suggested a rather high priced arrangement but assured me that it would be full of splendid flowers an never carnations, mums or baby's breath. And what a pleasant surprise I got when he sent me a photo of the arrangement and my mother was overwhelmed with the colors and size of her arrangement that she also sent me a photo of it herself! My first impression was that the image I got from the florist was just a stock image but what a pleasant surprise that it was the actual arrangement sent to my mother. She called me the other day and said her arrangement was still lovely and she is was just amazed at how much water the flowers took up. She sent me the photo of the arrangement and it was twice the size I had originally seen and with many surprises blooming. She would tell me that she woke up every morning to find new and different flowers opening in her bouquet. The arrangement started out sort of pink and white and by the time I saw it a week later, it had colors of orange, yellows and multi colored corals and hot fuchsias. She couldn't stop talking about it that I decided to send her another one just for the heck of it. When was the last time your mother called to praise you for something you did, and she already thanked you twice earlier when she received her flowers. My husband and I now love Rainforest and we will use it for everything we do in flowers in Hawaii. Now I wish they had a branch here cause our flowers here suck big time! Pros: Excellent Customer Service! more

CitySearch Has Done it Again! 5/15/2010

I needed to send flowers to my mother for Mother's Day and I know it was a last minute attempt but we just got back from our European vacation and after all the kids was settled, I decided to try to do the impossible. The first two tries through yelp turned out to be a waste of time. Then I tried Citysearch and came down to three top choices. Of the last of my three choices was Rainforest. A florist with an attractive name. I called and their lines were busy as I got a voice mail, so I said what the heck, I'll leave my name and number and give it a try. I continued to call others on the list but the phone just rang or I got a busy signal. I noticed that my cell had a voice mail and it was a call-back from Rainforest. A gentleman said he could help me out and if I'd call back or email since the phones were very busy that day. Any way, to make a long story short, we decided to get mom a bouquet of flowers. She received the flowers some two hours after I placed the order and I won't boast that they work that fast, just in my case they were able to come under the wire and do the job right. The gentleman was also kind enough to email me the image of the arrangement and confirmed delivery made and accepted by with a name. My mom was flabbergasted and full of excitement and joy! She said it was the best arrangement she had ever laid eyes on and said everything looked so grand. I am writing this not because of these fine qualities but because she just called me today to say her flowers are just gorgeous and is still drinking up gallons of water as she meticulously fills the vase each day. You better believe that I'll be returning to Rainforest for all my floral needs and her birthday is coming up so she will get another fantastic surprise. I later read their website and discovered that they are an environmentally conscious establishment with considerations in everything they do. How did I ever luck out! Thanks Citysearch for a great find! Pros: Courteous and friendly service Cons: Haven't encountered any more

THIS SHOP BEATS THEM ALL! 2/8/2010

Looking for a florist to give my honey something special was not hard to find. The women at the office all unanimously said RAINFOREST. A client said she only uses RAINFOREST for special occasions. My best friend's daughter said if I had any smarts, I would just go to RAINFOREST. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by a nice older Asian lady who said hello to me and was busy unpacking flowers in the rear of the store. Another young lady came out and politely said if I needed anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I said I wanted to order some flowers. She referred me to this bald gentleman who asked me first off is this for Valentine's Day and I said yes. Then went on to say that they could make a red rose but suggested perhaps something more unique. The unique caught my attention and everyone else in the room smiled. My next question was what her birth sign or birthday was. I said I don't want a birthday arrangement, but something romantic for Valentines. He explained that every sign has colors or flowers that represent romance, happiness, and even death to them and wanted to select a best flower and color to convey that thought. Wow that already blew me away! I didn't realize that every sign has their own flower and color. I also asked about birth signs for other people (my mother, my sister and even the secretary) each time I was given specific colors and flowers and also shapes and styles for each. That just amazing! So I placed my order, and said I'll be back to get a birthday arrangement for my sister, flowers for my secretary and even something for mom for Mother's Day. Now when someone asks me where to go, I tell them RAINFOREST! Pros: Excellent customer service more

Best flowers 2/3/2010

My daughter just gave birth to our first grandchild and she received many flowers from so many of our friends and relatives. Out of all the arrangements she received just one stood out. This arrangement came from Rainforest. What a jewel it was. She had a baby boy and the colors were beautifully crafted in deep purples, dark blues and lime green with touches of rust. Even the presentation of it in a clear glass vase said ""classy"" when you saw it. This arrangement was sent from my daughter's friend from high school and it was the only arrangements next to her bedside as the rest were on teh floor. She had some that looked like sticks of bamboo, others were a sea of baby's breath and so many that were poor attempts of this Rainforest arrangement. I later also discovered that my daughter received more arrangements at home and one of them, a Rainforest bouquet. It was so different than the first, and you know what, the original was till beautiful with everything fully bloomed out with staying power to last. The other arrangements were all thrown out by that time and she again had more bamboo stick arrangements that made me feel uneasy especially with the baby in the house and all those sharp sticks and daggers protruding out. I later called to thank the florist for making my daughter so happy. The man on the phone was very happy to know that we loved the flowers and provided us with helpful information of the names of the flowers and where they came from. I was amazed at how much knowledge he shared with me. I will use them from now on and said they were the best flowers I have ever seen. Pros: The Best Flowers I have Ever Seen! more

The WOW Florist! 1/28/2010

A friend referred me to this store and although I couldn't find anything on them, I liked the name and decided to give them a try. My girlfriend travels to Honolulu often and works for long periods of time. Our long distance relationship can be grueling but there's one thing my girl loves is fresh flowers. She used to get them from Florist Grand but after she started getting some from Rainforest she just flipped out of her mind. She would even describe each one and take photos on her iPhone and email them to me telling me that she'd love to get one exactly like that for this day and then when she got another surprise from me, she'd say that this is now her favorite piece. I was amazed how rapidly their deliveries are done, almost VIP in speed, accuracy and design. After having spent hundreds of dollars from FG, it was more affordable getting flowers from Rainforest. Their minimum is $85 and many looked better than ones I spent a $150 on from other places. The flowers are fresh, sent budded and open up for my girl. She always is surprised how they look differently each day as newer flowers open and become dominant in the piece. She said it was like having the movie Avatar in her office. The colors so brilliant and color combinations so stunning! All her co-workers say how special she must be for getting fresh flowers every few weeks. I now have to say that this is the florist of choice. If you want something that will make her feel extra special among co-workers then this is the place! UPDATE: I sent a total of three arrangements to my sweetheart and each time she said it was so different and made her day. She couldn't stop thanking me for doing this from so far away. This made it all worth it. I recently saw a photo of the last one on her faceBook page and she also got many rave reviews from her friends. That sure got me a lot of mileage out of that order. Now, planning one for her for Valentine's Day! Pros: Excellent customer service more

Blown Away by Flowers 1/22/2010

I called to order flowers for a grand opening store for a friend who opened her shop in a busy area of town. I had read good reviews of this shop on the internet and decided to give it a try. The designer asked many questions before making a suggestion of what he was planning to do. His suggestions all sounded like he knew the store and even the designer, so I left it up to him. I got a call from my friend who received the flowers and she said that the flowers just made the store and she had received about a dozen arrangements from a dozen different florists and they all looked identical to one another, except the one from Rainforest was so outstanding that she used it in place of the flowers she had ordered herself for the store. Everyone who entered the store commented on the display flowers she had in the window and many had asked where it came from. I also used Rainforest for a birthday for this same person and again he had asked a bunch of questions, most notably what birth sign she was and what day she was born. I thought that it was strange, but since he did such a great job on her grand opening, I would also leave it up to him. I got a phone call not even two hours later and she was again blown away with her flowers and said it was the best flowers she had ever received in her lifetime! Now this woman has lived in Italy, Greenwich Village, Paris and all over and for her to say it was the best, it really must have been something. I now tell everyone who needs flowers in Honolulu where to go and I can't wait to use Rainforest again for another event. I asked them if they would open up a branch in New York so we can enjoy the same talents and beauty here. Pros: Helpful easy to talk to sales and designer more

Best Selection of the Most Unusual and Exotic Flowers 11/25/2009

When you first venture into this quaint little shop, you're greeted with a friendly gesture and they sort of have an intuition of what you're seeking. They quickly express options and have a back floral storage where they keep all their limited and unusual materials for their arrangements. Their front refrigerator had an excellent selection of things like a wide assortment of large headed roses, many of which I have never seen before. They boasted five different kinds (I mean different forms not just colors) of Hydrangeas, fancy lilies, colored callas in a variety of colors, garden roses, peonies (I ended up getting these for Thanksgiving hostess gifts), orchids, gerbera daisies so big they looked artificial, and proteas, and so on. Just coming from Fujikami Florist, Honolulu Florist and Beretania Florist, I was amazed that Rainforest had flowers that neither of these carried, yet all three carried pretty much all the same flowers and looks. Rainforest even carried over twenty different kinds of anthuriums and as many as twenty different kinds of orchids. Their arrangements varied so greatly so as each piece could have come from entirely different florist shops. You just couldn't decide which one to get. The staff helped me decide which ones to get basing their selection on the recipient's birth date (of which I didn't have a clue), then basing it on apparel and designer choice. I was amazed how affluent they were in making a final selection based on dress and fashion sense. Of course the recipient just went ga ga when I brought the flowers to her and the guy was right on top of things when he said that she would just flip over them, and she did. What I was even more suprised is that when I made my selection from the flower box, the guy went in the back and refreshened the water and gave it new flower food and vitamins. They also said that they couldn't see having me give these cold water flowers to someone to have a wet spot when I'd drop them off. I was very amazed and did recall water from perspiration of the cold vase as it adjusted to warm in another floral delivery experience from another florist. Rainforest also boxed it and reminded me to add fresh water daily along with some hints in prolonging their flowers. They even gave me an instruction card (not the generic kind that Safeway has attached with their wraps) but thoroughly thought out solutions and suggestions and even a website describing more concise instructions with pictures showing step by step directions. I could go on but I think you get the point. The other reviews are very true and with the one exception that they are open on Sundays by appointment or preorders. Pros: Helpful service, knowledgeable staff, friendly,professional Cons: Due to their huge following they can sell out quickly more

Best Florist for Out of State Customers 11/20/2009

I frequently call Honolulu to order flowers for my mother when she visits there and stays with a friend. A friend here in California suggested that I give Rainforest a try. I really liked the name and just thought of them the next time I needed flowers. I got the number for their store from the numerous good reviews I saw on this site. They're not easy to find so I had to keep their number in my cell phone for easy retrieval. My mother just loves flowers and all kinds of flowers. I called Rainforest to inquire about their arrangements and was further lead onto their site which had glorious photos of so many flowers that I couldn't imagine that they all came from the same place. For the first arrangement, I gave my mom a mixed arrangement of orchids, lilies and fancy garden roses. This came to about a hundred dollars. I hesitated for a moment for the price then just did it because I had so much work ahead of me to do. I received a call from my mother expressing how beautiful the arrangement was and that they needed to keep filling the vase with water as they just drank and drank the water. When my mother returned home she said that her friend still had the arrangement and little had died since receiving it almost two weeks ago. The flowers all lasted and everyone opened up. The next time I sent her flowers I wanted to spend a little more and see what I got for it. When my mother received them, she called immediately and wanted to know where I got the name of the florist as she was even thrilled than the first time I sent her flowers. Again this arrangement lasted well over two weeks and provided fond memories for my mom when she visited her friend in Honolulu. I have used them for a friend in the hospital, new born baby, and several birthdays and each time I sent an arrangement from there, I got excited recipients and even one telling me that Rainforest is the best florist in all of Honolulu and how she was thrilled that I thought so highly of her for sending a Rainforest bouquet. I imagine their arrangements must be like their website showing a grand variety of floral selections. Now I guess I need to visit Honolulu to get one sent to me so I can get thrilled as so many people I sent flowers to have said it to me. I'm glad I finally found a florist that knows how to design and manage flowers. Truly exceptional work! If you're reading this, please know that I am 101% satisfied and will continue to purchase my flowers from them. Pros: Great customer service more

LifeSavers x2 10/3/2009

I called last minute for a special wrist corsage for my daughter's last minute notice event. She needed to have a purple and green flower color and I knew Rainforest would be able to do it. I discussed the possibilities with the designer, Michael over the phone and after he suggested over ten options, I just left it up to him. When I picked up the wrist corsage, I was amazed how beautiful he made it. Just as I was about to view his other arrangements, I soon was choking to death. Michael gave me a bottled water and after drinking it, I was back to normal. He refused to accept money for the water as I offered to pay for it. He saved my daughter's life as well as mine. Now that is a super florist! Pros: Fast service Cons: not open 24 hours, no cons. more

Freshest Flowers 10/3/2009

I am a regular flower buyer and always try and keep fresh flowers in my home. I have purchased flowers from KCC open market with big disappointments. Anthuriums only lasting a few days. Rainforest anthuriums arrive fresh weekly and I have kept them lasting for three weeks! I have purchased gerbera daisies, roses and assorted flowers from Whole Foods only to be disappointed by having them last less than two days. Until I shopped at Rainforest, I didn't realize these flowers could last so long. I used to believe that flowers lasted for just two days or less. Now I buy everything from Rainforest and have been amazed at how long they can last. Gerbera daisies lasting well over two weekends, roses lasting as long as fifteen days, mixed flower bouquets lasting close to three weeks. I have read that their arrangements are to die for. I don't know of anywhere else where you can select from so many varieties of flowers than at Rainforest. They seem to carry all of the colors that are unusual and different. I have selected from over thirty different kinds of anthuriums, so many colors of roses I do t know what to get, and gerbera daisy colors I didn't know existed. They have a large selection of orchids and so many novelty flowers. If you're seeking to get a specific flower or color, I suggest you shop here first. I once needed a mixed bouquet of flowers to take to a friend's wedding shower and her colors were lime green. I became the hit of the party when I walked in with my mixed bouquet of so many kinds of green flowers. The bride didn't even realize this place existed until I passed my card to her. She said the only green flower she could get was green spider mums, but I had brought green spiders, green roses, green orchids, green lilies, green berries, plus an assortment of variegated leaves and green pods. Try them and you'll never regret it. Just because we live in Hawaii, doesn't mean we have to make sacrifices for pretty flowers! Pros: Conveniently located Cons: I can't think of any more

The best little flower shop in all of Hawaii! 9/26/2009

I'm the kind of shopper that don't know what I want. Walking into Rainforest was a sensory experience. It smelled lovely and visually stunning. Interesting photography on the walls, well designed and functional florist. Staff is friendly and easy going, with a goal to please. Talk about a ""green"" store, Rainforest is the greenest of them all. Recycled boxes converted into art forms for you to carry out your arrangements safely and without spillage in your car. I've never seen anyone else wrap a lei and roses in ti leaf like they do. When I gave my flowers to my recipient, she was thrilled after receiving many numerous cello wrapped roses and sported lots of leis. In the end, she carried my ti leaf wrapped roses leaving all the cello wrapped ones on the table. I was thrilled. They also start early and I have used them when needing that special small arrangement for my secretary at 7 in the morning. They will also custom create a look based on the recipient's birth sign/date. I was amazed how on it they were when they suggested what they would like based on a birth sign. Try them for a visually breath taking experience. I would like to add that I recently received flowers from Rainforest that were the most beautifully arranged and with each day passing, newer buds opened up revealing interesting colors and shapes. After two weeks of vase life I finally started to remove some of the faded flowers and kept refilling the vase with water as the long lasting flowers finally gave out. All in all, I kept the arrangement looking good for about seven weeks. I still have one lingering rose still in a bud vase still doing well. How's that for money well spent! Pros: Always something different Cons: Closed on Sundays more
