| Thinking of my Grandma |
Apparently it is very difficult to find white carnations… really. I looked at a ton of grocery stores and called a few other places I thought might have them. Honestly the last place I wanted to call was a florist. They charge you an arm and a leg for flowers. I know this because I’ve been to LA’s flower mart. I’ve purchased flowers wholesale.
But after a few days it was looking grim, so I started calling florists in my area… they did not have them either. I did find one that would get some for me to pick up in a few hours for $27 for 24 stems. I was not immediately sold.. it wasn’t a great deal.
In the meantime I asked my friend if she knew of anywhere I could by [cheap] flowers. She told me that when she lived in San Clemente she loved Wildflower, so I called them. A very friendly Jessica answered and was MORE than helpful.
They did not carry the carnations but they were going to the flower mart in the morning and would happily pick me up 24 stems, for $14. Um yes please. They were so amazing that we ordered the flowers for my grandmas memorial this saturday with them.. even though they are at least a 15 minute drive from the church.
Yes they were THAT awesome. I can’t wait to see the arrangements for the service.
