$84?!!!!!Originally posted by Fatum:the only time I ever bought flowers for someone, I made the mistake of not asking for the price of a dozen roses before hand .....
the florist handed the bouquet proudly to me and said:"$84 " !!! ...
I turned pale and took out my NETs card ......
I never bought flowers again ... I think something more practical and lasting would be better .... hell, even imported chocs would be better ...![]()

my first and so far the last time ..... such a painful lesson .... next time i'll buy roses from the wet market and wrap them myself ! ...
Still... that's expensive!!Originally posted by the Bear:actually, if they were long-stemmed roses, and in a bouquet, should be about right...
that's $7 a stalk.. plus they add in other things like arrangement, a few baby's breath thingies to make it look nice, a nice wrap, ribbons and all that...
$84 for a dozen..
