I guess I was lucky too. I placed my order Friday afternoon by phone to 1(800)Flowers. They said they couldn't promise me an Azalea, but could deliver a "blooming plant" on Saturday. My mother-in-law received a beautiful Azalea Saturday, and the miles have already posted. I've used 1(800)Flowers probably about 6 times, and never had a problem. That's one more partner!
