Today Bruce helped me pull together a great arrangement for a 78 year old friend who is retiring on Monday after a long career as a civil engineer in Chicago. I wanted something special. We landed on a purple vase with purple and white flowers qnd greenery. She loved it. And I am very happy to support my local florist!!

Love this flower shop! Owner is very kind and helpful, and made me the perfect bouquet within my budget and wants. I only wish they were wrapped in paper instead of plastic.
