Flowerama cannot call themselves a florist because there are no floral designers there. They get all of their arrangements transported to them in a truck. I went in there one day and asked the man working there if he had any oriental lilies. He said "yes, I think we do" and proceeded to point to a gladiola. I had asked if I could talk to a floral designer- he stated that he was the manager.
If you really want to know how fresh their flowers are, 2 weeks before Mother's Day, Valentines Day or Christmas, look for a refrigerated truck parked by their building. Guess what's in that
truck? Your holiday order! These stores are run by kids that don't know anything about design let alone what kinds of flowers they have. The refrigerators are full of one-sided arrangements packed with carnations, mums and gladiolas. This is what happens when a good idea turns into a shoddy franchise. Run away....FAST!
