I ordered the "Rosebud" selection and upgraded to 'chic' which I'd previously ordered for my mother on Mother's Day and she had been impressed with them. Upon reading reviews there's a real range of scores for this selection and as my delivery date was a Monday I was hesitant to place the order as I wondered if due to the Sunday dispatch date if the flowers would be older? My work colleague who was the recipient seemed a little underwhelmed by them when she received them and only upon asking her to be honest about them a week later, she admitted that they didn't last very long at all and the size was disappointing, definitely not like the image on the website! The 5x Antique Carnation apparently died after 3 days. I don't know if the reason for this is the Monday delivery, but it was disappointing to hear that they weren't great.
