Who is doing reliably good bouquets of flowers at the moment? I was disappointed the last time we used M&S.

I live abroad and need to send something to my sister for her birthday. I used M&S and Waitrose in the past and.... is it called Wild & Bloom or something. Last time out, M&S were disappointing for freshness and value. Maybe they were just having a bad day. PS: Anything but Interflora.

Bloom and wild were dead on arrival when I got sent some. My granny passed away last month and the m&s bouquet sent to my folk lasted best

Google a local florist and phone them. You'll get way more flowers than if M&S or Interflora etc take their cut.

I last used them about 15 years ago when we couldn't go to a relatives funeral. We spent 40 quid on a sheath of flowers figuring they'd be better to send on to an old people's home or whatever. In the end, we could go but our flowers looked like something rescued from a shitty petrol station. Interflora are so hit and miss, it's not worth the angst.

They use independent local florists - guess you got unlucky in that particular lottery.

Morrison's flowers are normally good but you don't want the cheaper ones they have at the front. They have more expensive ones near the back. My mum always likes them and lasts ages.

What we did was find a good local independent florist by our family.

I would second googling a local florist- usually same day or next day delivery and absolutely beautiful long lasting flowers
