Detroit: Gale, 2004. 603-613. Gale Virtual Reference Library. 1 September 2004 Fast Service to Rhode Island Flowers are sometimes the most powerful message you can send someone. Just the fact of getting some roses causes people to change their minds, change their jobs, change their lives. I received a dozen roses from a certain lady friend a while back, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was moved. Though I can't say for certain why I was so affected by her act, I can say that I returned the favor. We both used your services, so for that I thank you. From one old Marine who didn't realize he would have this kind of response to simple flowers.(Dionne E. , Sumter SC )

The flowers were very much the talking point of my sons wedding, especially the centerpiece! I shall of course be recommending you to everyone!(Terry S. Wilkins, Houston TX )

No one ever listens to me. I tell them to order from you guys, but do they listen? They do not. I order flowers and gifts from you guys all the time, and I’ve never had occasion to be dissatisfied. By contrast, those people who don’t listen to me seem like they’re constantly complaining about how this delivery or that had some problem with it (wrong color, wrong flowers, bad quality, etc.). I have no such problems. I wish I were better PR for you guys, but no one ever listens to me.(Joanne W. , Savannah GA )

If there is a better website to order flowers and plants, I would love to see it, because that would be beyond belief. I'm just writing this to give you some idea of how well done your site is and how easy it is for me to use. (Jennifer J. , Parkersburg WV )

The balloons were a hit with my co-workers. Well, except for a certain person, who will remain nameless, who doesn’t like me. Maybe I’ll send her a balloon bouquet, with flowers, and see if it helps her loosen up a little.(Kirsten B. , Bonita Springs FL )

My status as a second daughter in my family means that I am usually the left out one. I’m forced into the kitchen with my mother and aunties even though I have no idea how to cook. Although I have to say that my gift of flowers and balloons to the mistress of the house didn’t get me out of kitchen duty, it did get me some extra time with the men in the family as they were impressed I was able to spend so much on a deceptively gorgeous gift. My dad even mussed up my hair like he does my brothers. Score one for women!(Pat L. , Bangalore , India)

This was the first time I used your website to order flowers, and I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed with it all. I'll definitely be using you again for all of my flower orders in the future. (Taylor I., Yokohama )

My husband Rhys works away but has flowers sent to me every week he is not home. Thank you for making this possible.(Cilla Ormskirk, San Antonio TX )
***
I’m not one to take credit for the efforts of others, but I’ll admit to a little cheating. When people ask where I got those magnificent arrangements of flowers, I tell them that I did them myself. I took some flower arranging classes, and it sounds credible. But I wanted to clear my conscience because I’m not exactly good advertising for you. Whew! That felt better.(Glory K., York PA )

You provide more joy and good feeling to people than just about anything I can imagine. I hope you know that you are increasing the amount of kindness in the world. People who get your flowers are more likely to feel better, and are in turn more likely to do nice things for other people. So really, you're doing your part for world peace! Yeah, I guess that's a stretch, but sometimes getting flowers helps a great deal when you're going through something.(Mark L., DeKalb IL )

My great-grandmother’s funeral was much more sober than any other funeral I’ve been to (to many of them), and I couldn’t figure out why. Finally, it dawned on me, the flowers were wholly inappropriate for the setting. They were the whole color, the wrong style, and too ostentatious for the scene. I found out that the person in our family who normally orders the flowers (from you) had asked someone else to do it this time, and he ordered from someone else. While I don’t blame this other company entirely for the inappropriateness of the flowers - because he’s pretty much a dullard about these things - I am positive that had he ordered from you things would have been different.(Ellie O. , Lewiston ME )

I got your name off the card that my daughter-in-law sent with some flowers to my wife. Neither one of them would ever admit that they were becoming closer or that the glacier between them would thaw, but that's what's happening because the mother-in-law was so impressed with the quality of the flowers you sent that she thought it was a gesture of reconciliation. Whether it was or not, thanks for helping a family become a little closer.(Tony C., Indio CA )
***
A big thank you to whoever is behind your operation. My nervousness at ordering things off of the Internet was unfounded and unwarranted. I have a good deal to be thankful for this year, including the reliability of your delivery operation. My son off in America studying his breeches off gets American plants for his off-campus apartment directly from his mum and myself. I understand they help clean the air, and believe me, his flatmate will thank us for clearing the air around him.(Ian P., Dublin )

Thanksgiving flowers always help to brighten the day as we remember harder times; your delivery (from our last-minute order) was prompt and I cannot thank you enough.(Allanah McLeish, Denver CO )

The way my family celebrates Christmas, you would think it was Festivus. My dad always tries to challenge someone to wrestle and we have a tinsel lined pole in the back yard that I used to practice tetherball on. I don't know if my parents have developed a sense of humor or we're all really warped. I'm glad I was able to bring some semblance of normalcy into Christmas, though, with the flowers that I sent ahead of time. They made the day seem warmer somehow and somewhat less bizarre.(Steven J., Fresno CA )

I love the idea of the vineyard basket! My cousin lives near Napa Valley, so what am I going to do, send her wine? The basket has all the other stuff that goes with wine, and very good stuff I might add. Even the basket itself is lovely.(Holly M., Rock Hill SC )
