everyone likes receiving flowers. i was a day late in sending bday flowers so to save time, i looked for a local place. i read some good online reviews of Flower Shop Costa Rica. i wasn't really crazy about any of the arrangements online (why do all the floral arrangements look like wedding flowers from the '80s). anyway, i spoke to mike who told me which flowers were in season. the bday girl liked hydrangeas so i asked him to make an arrangement around them. the call took less than 5 minutes and the flowers were delivered within 2 hours! the bday girl called and said the arrangement was beautiful (and big-you never know how big these arrangements will be). the proof is in the pudding folks.
