i need someone in raleigh i can call in an order to, i'm not wanting to spend $80 on a dozen roses delivered

on a side note if someone wants to pick up some at sams club and take them to campus for me, i can paypal you some cash

1/17/2009 10:29:03 PM

daniel's florist. off of tryon, towards cary. i guess it's considered swift creek there.

and a dozen will run you close to $80 in a vase, anywhere, I believe.

They don't come in the vase, but they are high-quality, super fresh, and ready to pop into the included vase with little cutting & no arranging.

1/17/2009 10:47:39 PM

I put my own bouquet together at Whole Foods for the last 2 years and the woman loves it.

I don't know about delivery though.

1/17/2009 11:45:32 PM

That's a great question. I haven't found one I really like in Raleigh. I can say, however, that I've used the florist on Hillsborough street near the cartridge world and those roses were terrible. I've gotten better flowers at lowes foods. So don't go there. Anyway, thanks anyone who has a good place to suggest.

1/18/2009 12:11:15 AM

i got some flowers (not roses though) at that one on hillsborough near UT. the store looks like an old house that was converted. i was pleased.

1/18/2009 12:32:48 AM

^^^ Whole Foods has amazing flowers but yeah, no delivery

1/18/2009 12:58:29 AM

see, the problem is that i live 750 miles away, so its gonna have to be a delivery

1/18/2009 8:08:27 AM

I have a penis, so every 6th week of the calender year, I must acquire rare plant flowers, fancy chocolate confections, or expensive pieces of metal or rock, and deliver them to my favorite person with a vagina. Then we perform coitus.

you make the dangerous assumption that they'll survive the trip on ups

Every 6th week of the year? That's gotta get might expensive. You poor soul

1/18/2009 9:45:19 AM

Yeah "every 6th week", not "every 6 weeks" (Every year has only one "6th week", -- you know, the 6th one...)
Read much?

1/18/2009 10:07:41 AM

it would have been clearer to say "on the 6th week of every calendar year"

1/18/2009 10:48:55 AM

i, too, enjoy flowers

1/18/2009 11:27:21 AM

send her a pretty pot, some seeds, home depot gift card (for potting soil) and a sappy note about how your love will grow for each other in the next year.

I'd suggest a container herb garden, mint, parsley, chives, and cilantro are what I'm gonna get myself.

I suggest you take some logic and English lessons.

I fucked every 6th chick on the street != I fucked the 6th chick on every street.

you know good and damn well what he meant. quit being a pretentious douche.

1/18/2009 2:20:06 PM

quit supporting poor writing. what the hell are universities and schools for, then?

1/18/2009 2:29:35 PM

maybe they should also teach how to stay on topic and help or keep your fucking mouth shut

1/18/2009 2:34:54 PM

like you are doing? no thanks!

1/18/2009 2:39:14 PM

what are you even trying to say there^?

Also, I was saying "every 6th-week-of-the-calender-year, I must....", not "every 6th-week of the calender year, I must..."

99.9% chance I'll be in town (forced to work ), so let me know if you still need someone. I promise to pick out pretty ones heck, I'll even arrange them if you want.

I second Daniel's off Tryon in Swift Creek Shopping Center and add Garner Florist... because they deliver anywhere for us.

Both are FANTASTIC.

http://www.danielsflowers.com/ (just found out you can shop online - most front page arrangements are available in vase at $45, $55, $65 intervals)

http://www.garnerncflorist.com/ (same website and pricing)

Dude, that's something you're gonna have to deal with. That's the going rate for stupid commercial holidays.

^ Sorry, I don't trust the boyfriend to get herb seeds for me. He'd probably get all catnip, to try to make my life more interesting now that I'm taking care of his PITA cat. This nasty little animal will wait until I'm taking a shower to create the worst smells ever (litter box is in the bathroom, right now I'm switching her to a grain free food for hopefully less stinky poop).

I don't like hallmark holidays either. And no steak and BJ day, I prefer to surprise him.

1/21/2009 10:59:24 AM

^what kind of food/litter do you use?

1/21/2009 11:42:25 AM

Michael's actually has some really nice floral choices and for a lot cheaper than an actual florist.

However, I always go with fakes. Real roses die and says your feelings are only temporary.

Besides, very few girls will actually say that rose is their favorite flower.

1/21/2009 11:45:16 AM

She was using tidy cats litter and meow mix. I'm switching to feline pine and taste of the wild. Litter switch should be complete tomorrow or tonight when I empty the box and go to 100% pine, food switch will be complete in a couple weeks. Tried to switch her to blue buffalo but it gave her nasty gas, so I'm sure the blue is part of the problem too.

1/21/2009 11:57:19 AM

i recently switched to feline pine only..best.litter.ever.


we still have no idea what to do with my roommate´s cat, though. she´s been on several different foods and always smells horrendous.

1/21/2009 2:27:58 PM

Fallon's flowers on Falls of the neuse. Roses $10/dozen, there's also a florist in sutton square that has them @ the same price. Very nice flowers w/ great longevity once their in water. They'll 'arrange' them in a vase for you for an additional $40, but I've always just stopped by walmart/target and grabbed one for $5 and the broads have never known the difference.

1/25/2009 5:05:39 PM

1800FLOWERS.com

I ordered from there a few times, they deliver and they really deliver quality flowers.. it works if you dont have time to go to the store to pick them out AND it surprises your woman

1/25/2009 9:29:32 PM

Passed a place on Ten-Ten today (take a right off of Lake Wheeler and head towards West Lake Road - shop's on the left) that had a sign in the window advertising $19.99.

1/25/2009 10:13:57 PM

^^^ you can actually get some nice ones from walmart/harris teeter if you look properly. most of them are done local and fresh.

1/25/2009 10:34:44 PM

check HARRY and DAVID for a plant (cut flowers die so quickly).
They have quality stuff for decent prices.
