How often do you post?
When we have something worth saying, which works out around once a month. We would rather write five useful things a year than thirty filler posts about the language of flowers.
Can I ask a flower question that is not answered here?
Call the shop at (321) 287-3443. We are open 24 hours and we will happily talk you through a flower problem even if you are not buying anything.
Do you take topic suggestions?
Yes. If you called with a question and could not find a straight answer online, that is exactly the kind of thing worth writing up.
