I have just sent some to my DD for her birthday. Anyone ever done this? I am hoping that the buds will open and she will be happy with them.

And I gave both daughters the little Xmas trees. Very nice.

Dragonfly46 my daughter sent me a Bloom and Wild bouquet at Christmas and I wasn't very impressed with it either - it was quite sparse and the dark flowers were more funeral than festive. The next day I phoned the company to express my disappointment, spoke to a very sympathetic and apologetic man who asked me to choose a different bouquet and sent it out a few days later. It was much better.

Bloom and Wild are really good.The flowers are beautifully packed and tips given on ways to arrange them.

I've just used Bloom & Wild for the first time, my friend was delighted and sent me a photo - they looked exactly as they do on the website.

Am I the only one who struggles with real flowers and bouquets? Don't get me wrong - l love them and really appreciate being sent them but I really don't have anywhere to put a large floral arrangement, windowsills are not wide enough, conservatory is too hot and I'm reluctant to put anything which drops pollen on my dining room table. My house is so warm they don't last that long either. My husband always gets me a huge bouquet for my birthday which is also the day before our wedding anniversary and a friend also sends flowers for my birthday and I end up putting them out of sight in the utility room. I do have smaller vases of artificial flowers dotted about the place but it doesn't matter if the cat knocks one of those over. Guess I'm just an ungrateful so and so sad

Phew! - she loved them; and has sent a photo and they are splendid. Quite small - but I had realised that from the website. So quite expensive for what you get - but just as shown, so I am not grumbling.
