My wife told me to surprise her last year for Valentine's Day, so I did - in every way. These Lilies were part of the plan and they worked out very well.

In the past I had given her roses, but this year I wanted to change it up a bit. Not only were these a great buy, but I scored point for creativity!
They arrived on time, looked great, smelled great, they lasted a good while.

I have given this particular bouquet several times to different people and I have gotten rave reviews each time. I am told that the flowers are big, colorful, and last for weeks.

The main selling points for buying flowers from [...]for me are:

1. Ease of ordering. What you see is what you get, and it only takes a few moments to order.
2. I can select the time I want the delivered
3. I can select a personal message just like any other florist, but I can type it myself so I KNOW there will be no errors.

I was at the house of the person who received the flowers when they arrived. They came in a large long box, and I was excited to see the expression on her face as she opened the box. Peruvian Lilies...100s of blooms? No, not exactly. A small bunch of wilted flowers! It was sad. Nothing like the picture or nothing like you would expect for the price. I should have gone by safeway and got 4 bunches of fresh lilies for half the price and saved my embassasment with what this company sent. I'm not kidding, half the flowers are wilted. I'll never use proflowers again.

These flowers might be nice if you actually get them. I ordered these flowers promising 2.5 dozen Assorted Summer Peruvian Lilies. I got 2 dozen roses. My mother loved them for Mother's Day, but this was not what I ordered or paid for.

Flowers looked totally different!!! One colour and just a few, hided between a bunch of leaves... also the vase was simple glas, not like in the photo :(
They arrived on time although and they added a message on request by e-mail (later), so that was fine.

I love Peruvian Lilies, they have interesting colors and last so long. I ordered these for my 92 year old grandmother for Valentine's Day. They came on time, that was good but they were packed smashed into a box with the leaves already slimey and broken stems. The whole package was extremely difficult to remove as well. She followed the directions but they were too damaged too revive. Out of all the grandkids who sent flowers, mine were just an embarrassment. I'm humiliated and will not be ordering again.

Peruvian lilies are the coolest flower. When they arrive there is not a lot of color. Give them 12-24 hours in water and then you have some amazing flowers. Having flowers that have leaves around the buds give great contrast to the color of the blooms. The flowers last longer than roses too. They are great.

I sent this floral arrangement to my friend for her birthday. She immediately phoned to express her pleasure and to thank me for her "beautiful, fresh flowers." When I asked, she said they arrived the day before her birthday and were in a nice box with a vase. She had to arrange them in the vase, but I knew that procedure from past experience.

Since they were a gift and she lives in another state, I never saw them, but am pleased she liked them. I didn't think it would be proper etiquette to ask her all the details, so for review purposes I asked her daughter to view the photo on this product page to check it against what was delivered to her mother. She told me that, yes, the flowers were beautiful, but were about half as numerous as pictured; sort of like half flowers, half leaves. She hastened to add that the vase was glass, simple but attractive.

I was disappointed that my gift wasn't as lovely as pictured, but actually relieved that the flowers arrived fresh, were pretty (if sparse) and my friend likes them. I know she appreciates the thought behind the gift and would not care if they were a bit wilted, but the point is that the flowers were not as pictured.

In all honesty, I can only give this product three stars.

Nice bouquet for the money, but watch for delivery issues. This may be due to website issues on Amazon's part as opposed to the flower market, but I've ordered this bouquet twice and both times it was delivered immediately as opposed to when I had scheduled it to be delivered. When I contacted the company they said they had never received the delivery date information, so just shipped it as soon as they could. They were nice enough about the issue, but could not change delivery even the day before it was set to ship.

If you haven't bought alstroemeria before, you should send this bouquet. It's very cheery and the flowers last forever. I highly recommend ProFlowers - great company with great products and prices.
