On Saturday evening before some people came over, I decided to beautify my place with some flowers. I went to a place (forgot the name) on Fulton Street corner of Layfayette. I bought cut hydrangea, hyacinth, aenomes, and some eucalyptus (the kind with dye). On Sunday morning, the hydrangea went from wilted and sad looking to truly dead. The hyacinth smelled great, but I didn’t notice that they also were in critical condition. I had to cut them really short since the gummy stems couldn’t hold the flowers up. The aenomes are OK and the eucalyptus, well, you can’t kill those things with a stick. Anyhow, none of these flowers were cheap. After I bought them, I winced, thinking that I can’t be doing this much.

My question is where do Brownstoners buy cut flowers that have more than a few hours of life. I would like to buy flowers that can last a while and not get ripped off like I allowed myself to be this past weekend.

I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks as always.
