MIAMI FLORIST & GIFT SHOPPE

I live in North Carolina, over 600 miles from my hometown, South Bend. Back in 1997, I wanted to send my mom a nice floral arrangement as a birthday gift. I asked my sister for a recommendation. She suggested Miami Florist and I called them, suggesting some colors to include. Miami Florist delivered them to her house and she loved them.
As a result, over the past 17 years, my "go-to" florist has been Miami Florist. I've called them to create and deliver floral arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries, deaths, seasons, and just plain-ol' "Thinking of You" occasions. When I call, they offer suggestions and I offer mine, such as her favorite colors, flowers, etc. We leave it at that, and Miami Florists has never failed to deliver! My mom would call me and remark how much she enjoyed them.
This past November, her beloved poodle had to be put to sleep due to cancer. She was heartbroken. Once again, I called Miami Florists and they offered some ideas, I offered mine. The result was what you can see in the attached photo, what my sister called "stunning".  She took the photo a week after the flowers arrived and you can see how well they've held up.
I'm a little shamed that I've never set foot in the store when I return to South Bend for a visit. I need to.  To see excellence at work!
