I really need to say I'm sorry, but roses won't cut it.

I need rare/awesome looking flowers to say I care.

It needs to be something significant.

Any botany majors available to chime in?

Are there any local florists you would recommend?

I love their Dramatic Garden bouquet (under high style) and tiger lilies or tulips make most anything better in my book.

what did you do?

i made a girl who doesn't ordinarily cry, do so.

i dunno if i'll be forgiven, but i gotta try.

10/10/2007 8:45:05 AM

I get mine from the Fresh market in Cameron village usually. Good stuff for the price.

10/10/2007 3:46:49 PM

is this that chick who meets you at the door with a cold beer when you get home from work? good luck man

10/10/2007 3:57:52 PM

There is a local florist on Hillsborough street, near Melvin's I think. And there was also one mentioned earlier next to UT and Zaxby's.

Watkins on Capital

10/11/2007 11:11:55 AM

i'm going with lilacs unless there are other opinions?

10/11/2007 11:37:18 AM

Why not buy a bunch of pre-cut ones from like Harris teeter and make your own arrangments? There selection isn't too bad.

10/11/2007 11:45:26 AM

Those are irises^^ (which are a wonderful choice)

lilacs are more like these and smell heavenly:

10/11/2007 11:46:16 AM

whole foods over by Meredith College has pretty good flowers



believe me, I fucked up all the time and had to buy them

10/12/2007 11:11:06 AM

^I always hit up Whole Foods or Fresh Market right after work. That is, for special occasions and the days when I've put myself in the dog house. Both of those places are good for a quick flower grab, but idk about exotic blooms.

10/12/2007 11:30:03 AM

the kroger at the corner of MLK and Raleigh normally has $15-$20 worth of flowers on "managers special" for $2-$5.

10/12/2007 11:40:15 AM

Flowerama
that's where my husband buys them. I've been very impressed

My favorite flowers are stargazer lilies. intoxicating smell

Whole Foods always has a nice variety with some unique flowers. I haven't been there in a while so i don't know what exactly they have.

10/12/2007 12:08:23 PM

hell yeah


stargazers always got me out of the doghouse

10/12/2007 12:23:31 PM

stargazers or irises

[Edited on October 12, 2007 at 1:30 PM. Reason : i'm going to combine both]

10/12/2007 1:20:10 PM

I got gorgeous orange tulips yesterday just because

I personally like stargazer lilies mixed with red or white longstem roses.


guys- don't only buy your woman flowers when you screw up. Buy them "just because", if she's having a bad day, when you're out of town or haven't been able to see her in awhile...
