Dear Annie: I was ill recently and received a lovely floral gift from a business associate. One type of flower included was on its last legs, while the rest were fresh. The florist also stuffed fern into the water, which created a pretty look but made the water murky and the display appear rotting.
I wonder if you and your readers can give me some advice. I was ill recently and received a lovely floral gift from a business associate. One type of flower included was on its last legs, while the rest were fresh. The florist also stuffed fern into the water, which created a pretty look but made the water murky and the display appear rotting.
Normally I would phone the florist with my comments, but their name was not on the paperwork. The gift giver is a high-end business type, and I feel they would be most unhappy with the quality of this gift. Can or should I do anything about this?The most important thing is to thank your business associate for the lovely gesture. You could send him a picture of the bouquet to thank him. Then, in a separate phone call or a conversation in person, let him know the condition of the flowers.
