Unfortunately the let down was the delivery via Royal Mail ordered Thursday not received until late Monday afternoon despite a tracing that said recd at local depot for delivery the following day (Friday) therefore when arrived on the Monday afternoon the blooms were not at their best! Some heads of flowers broken and some squashed! Fortunately I had some of my own flower food as none was attached(?) and the intact flowers have survived and I am enjoying them. Fortunately I purchased these for myself I would have been most disappointed if the bouquet had been a gift !
