Totally agree, if there’s no local florist, I’ve always found M&S or Waitrose delivered flowers, good value and long lasting.

You’re absolutely right Floradora, easy to google a local florist and organise it yourself. TBH I’m surprised that people use Interflora any more.

I received a bunch of flowers on Valentine's day which looked very nice. However when I started to arrange them I realised the ratio of flowers to foliage was fifty fifty. I thought about how much this had cost the sender ,who was some distance away , and thought it was poor value. I contacted the flowers shop which delivered them and felt sorry for the poor woman I spoke to. She told me the only complaints she ever gets is about Interflora. The sender paid over forty pounds: she got just over twenty and at the same time pays a monthly fee to Interflora. She really wanted to send me another lot of flowers but I would not let her as I fully understood the situation. The moral is if you want to send flowers to someone contact a local florist to the recipient and do it direct .
Contrast this with two bunch of 99p flowers I bought in Tesco 10 days ago they are still going strong,
